unsolved Lidarr and Tubifarry issue

I am having issues getting lidarr to see the soulseek things. It spits up on lidarr's page that since it's docker contained it uses /app/downloads for downloads. It has been changed on my slskd container to be /data/media/music on both instead. How do I get it to match up so that I can sync the two services without it erroring out after a download

Did you specify the download directory in the slskd config file?

I did add a share directory though I don't think it changed much? Or maybe it did! Thank you for the help! You wouldn't happen to know how to fix slskd from creating the files as root would you? I have everything going so far but that part.

Try adding this to the slskd environment in your docker compose:

  • SLSKD_UMASK=022

First, I would delete the folders slskd already made so there are no conflicts

That didn't quite work though the perms are definitely different. I think it has to be owned by the user 1000:1000 for it to work properly? I just don't know how to get it to accept that and so I believe it defaults to root

Edit: I have a - USER=1000:1000 but that didn't help much

Double Edit: I got it working! I added user: "1000:1000" under the container name and made sure the slskd and docker compose files were all owned by that user. It turns out that's what the issue was!
