Docker volume linkage

A year or 3 ago, I set up Channels DVR in a Docker container. I used a run command that I had intended would split my content to a volume on a NAS, and would put the configuration space on the docker host. Somehow, I ended up with it all on the NAS volume and not at the level I planned. It worked, but it wasn't what I planned, but it worked. So I left it.

I just built a new NAS and (for now) I'm not moving docker containers, the docker host is separate from the NAS boxes. I stopped the old container, synced my recordings over from the old NAS to the new NAS, moved the configurations over to a local folder from the old NAS. Did a new DOCKER run command, and (with a hiccup or two), up came Channels DVR. And it sees the database, and all the existing recordings, and even the volume where I have movies and stuff I let it peek at but not touch.

But. It's not recording where it's supposed to. It shows only 300 GB of space, where the NAS should show a couple of TB. I'm still not exactly sure where it's going.

I know I've messed up. I'm just not sure exactly how. Help!!

Docker volume specs:

   --volume /opt/channels-dvr:/channels-dvr
   --volume /mnt/dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR
   --volume /mnt/media/plex:/plexmedia:ro

/mnt/dvr/recordings is pointed to a NAS share that contains my existing recordings, but I also created a sym link in /opt/channels-dvr called recordings that points there so that Channels DVR would see it. But the recordings are not going there. Got created. Somewhere. I can play it back. The path on 3 days worth of news shows the exact same path down to the file name itself (starting at TV/).

I finally found where the files are. Instead of being under recordings here

ls /opt/channels-dvr/DVR
Database  Images  Imports  Logs  Metadata  recordings  Streaming  TV

it's under the TV here:

ls /opt/channels-dvr/DVR/TV
'NBC Nightly News With Tom Llamas'  'World War II With Tom Hanks'  'WYFF News 4 at 6pm'

ideally, I want the recordings to be going to /mnt/dvr/recordings..., which is what I thought --"volume /mnt/dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR" would do

Uncheck Server Enabled
Change the directory to /shares/DVR
Check Server Enabled

Well dang... that looks easy. I've done it. Let me fish around, and move the files from the wrong to the right place and see how it goes.

Thank you muchly! I've never played with that checkbox (at least not in the last year or two) and didn't really know what it did.
