Transmission duplicated storage

LSIO Discussion Container Support

Transmission has installed and works great but with one flaw IT saves all the files in two places
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public/downloads
and
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public/Downloads

when i remove the torrent and file data transmission deletes them from both folders. is there a way to fix it. I have a feeling its an error in the docker image because i cant find /Downloads witha capital D in any of the config files or in the docker environment variables.

i would appreciate any help

created using portainer on a QNAP NAS
volumes:
- /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/Transmission/config:/config
- /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Public/downloads:/downloads
- /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Container/Transmission/watch:/watch

Sounds like something your qnap is doing and/or your client that’s browsing the device. Tried deleting that rogue download folder?

Docker wont magically add folders that aren’t mounted as volumes.

LOL thank you that did fix it. It was strange that it behaved in that way.

the folder with the capital D was already there, Docker or QNAP decided that it wanted to copy the completed torrents into both folders and unix user /911 took ownership

also thank you for the quick reply
