qBittorrent Permission Denied

Apps and Virtualization
1

Hoping this is an easy fix. I installed qbittorrent from Servers@Home with their Hotio+VPN docker compose image. I installed it via YAML in my Apps and got it all up and running. I’m pointing the torrent download storage to a directory in my storage pool, path is /mnt/Storage/Media. I have set the Apps Group in the Media folder to both Modify and later Full Control.

Whenever I attempt to download a torrent, I receive an error message “Permission denied” in qbit when it tries to mkdir in the /mnt/Storage/Media folder. Is there an easy way to find out what user or group qbit is trying to use to make the directory so I can add it to the folder?

Wouldn’t it be the one you set in the Compose file (default as listed is 1000)?

Indeed you are correct with the default, however it turns out that wasn’t even my issue haha. Problem was as simple as having the wrong path set in qbittorrent!

For anyone else that comes across this post in the future, setting my download path to /media/downloads fixed it! qBittorrent doesn’t like the whole path to a share apparently!
