I followed the trash guide and have sonaar and sabnzbd working brilliantly together in portainer.

My plex media folders when I was on win11 were on external disks. After moving to ubuntu I can find them under /media/<name>/…

Plex is able to read from them, so it was quick to rebuild the library. My question is, how can I give sonarr access to them? I want to be able to import them and have sonarr able to write to them (when I download episodes).

Is there a clever way to put them into the /data structure that I followed in the trash guide?

Thanks!

Take a look at the docker-compose example in your link

volumes:

 - /media/<your folder on host machine>:/<location you want to mount to inside docker container>

That’s great, thank you, will get on it tomorrow. Will I need to change permissions on the media folders?

Potentially. It’ll all depend on the permissions in the host (they’re inherited iirc) and the user you’re running your docker container as. I think if I remember correctly I made them 775 and all of the video stack related programs shared a group
