How do I get MLB running, I deleted it months ago, do I need to put /volume1/docker/mlbserver/data in the DATA_DIRECTORY or HOST_DIR:?
Leave DATA_DIRECTORY as the default, but change HOST_DIR to /volume1/docker on a Synology NAS.
I created volume1/docker/mlbserver/data but I keep getting this error, message": "failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/mlbserver/data/mlbserver' does not exist", "details": "Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/mlbserver/data/mlbserver' does not exist
In the One-Click Action for mlbserver you need to clear out the default /data value for HOST_DIR, and replace it with /volume1/docker -- nothing else.
But still have a folder created mlbserver and data folder inside of it correct?
Not in the HOST_DIR value, but yes on your NAS volume1/docker/mlbserver needs to exist.
Got it, another question I have is. I installed Plex media server as volume1/docker/plex, when I run the project one-click for Plex-for-Channels it stores that project inside where my media server is at, any way to fix this?
As the description says next to the HOST_DIR field for any Action, you're choosing the parent directory path, and then One-Click adds a subdirectory. In the case of the One-Click for Plex, you could specify a HOST_DIR value of /volume1/docker/data, and then your data would be stored in /volume1/docker/data/plex. As always, with Synology, that directory must exist before you spin the container up.
In the Olive Tin for C setup, this is at the bottom of the stack configuration:
#0#volumes: # Remove the #x# to enable. Use this section if you've setup a docker volume named channels-dvr, with CIFS or NFS, to bind to /mnt/dvr inside the container. Set ${DVR_SHARE} to channels-dvr (DVR_SHARE=channels_dvr) in that example.
#1#channels-dvr:
#1#external: true
I don't have a CIFS or NFS volume, but I do have a volume mounted:
Is this relevant? I don't exactly understand how this is used.

OK, so you have Portainer installed already as I recall. This stack is designed to require little or no editing, so plan on putting your env var overrides in the section of the Portainer-Stacks Editor designed for that purpose.
As far as your question goes, tell me a little about how your setup is structured as far as Channels is concerned. Is everything (CDVR, Docker, Personal Media) all on the same system?
EDIT: And, you said it was a Debian system correct?

System is Debian. CDVR is a docker container. There are two iSCSI volumes that are mounted on the host and the container has a volume connected to the mount. One of the iSCSI is dedicated for just Channels DVR to use. The other is a media volume shared with Plex. Anyway, /mnt/dvr is the volume. For historical (mistake) reasons, the /config is what is mapped to the container, in which /DVR is the bulk of things
So the ENVIRONMENT variables I have so far...
EZ_START=-ezstart
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.1.249
TZ=US/Eastern
PORTAINER_HOST=192.168.1.249
HOST_DIR=/var/lib/OliveTin
DVR_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/config/DVR
LOGS_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/config/DVR/Logs
No idea what "TUBEARCHIVIST_SHARE" is for, or the Static File Server stuff.
Edited to Add: Yes, I have Portainer installed, and I've copied and pasted the config from the EZSTART thread into the stack window and was putting the Environment vars in at the bottom. And, I've gotten the Porttainer token and created an environment var for it, I just removed it from the list, paranoid that I am.

I don't think you'll need to go the EZ-Start route. The standard set of overrides looks like this, with your specifics where possible:
TAG=latest
DOMAIN=localdomain tailxxxxx.ts.net
HOST_PORT=1337
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.1.249
CHANNELS_DVR_PORT=8089
CHANNELS_DVR2_HOST=
CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=
CHANNELS_CLIENTS=
ALERT_SMTP_SERVER=
ALERT_EMAIL_FROM=
ALERT_EMAIL_PASS=
ALERT_EMAIL_TO=
UPDATE_YAMLS=true
UPDATE_SCRIPTS=true
TZ=US/Eastern
HOST_DIR=/var/lib/OliveTin
DVR_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/config/DVR
LOGS_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/config/DVR/Logs
TUBEARCHIVIST_SHARE=
DVR2_SHARE=
LOGS2_SHARE=
TUBEARCHIVIST2_SHARE=
DVR3_SHARE=
LOGS3_SHARE=
TUBEARCHIVIST3_SHARE=
HOST_SFS_PORT=8080
FOLDER=/web
PORTAINER_TOKEN=
PORTAINER_HOST=192.168.1.249
PORTAINER_PORT=9443
PORTAINER_ENV=2
PERSISTENT_LOGS=false
Sub-in your LAN's domain name (if possible. usually localdomain, lan or the like), also add your Tailnet if you use one (you'll thank me later), in the way shown above.
You'll need to generate a Portainer token called OliveTin, and add that in.
Otherwise, the only thing that looks funny is the path to your CDVR recordings (DVR_SHARE) vs the path to your CDVR executables (LOGS_SHARE) -- I don't think you have those correct.
There are other values you may want to add in the future, but these (with the few adjustments I mentioned will get you started).
EDIT: In your case, as a CDVR Docker user, your LOGS_SHARE value will come from the host directory you bound to /channels-dvr for the CDVR container.
I have not ever really bothered with a domain / naming convention. Laziness? Maybe. I don't do tailscale (yet), so no tailnet name either. "local" will work. I've hit deploy. We'll see.
Does this make you feel any better about those paths?
That helps.
DVR_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/config/DVR
LOGS_SHARE=/mnt/dvr/confg
Run the Post-Install Healthcheck Action to confirm.
I'll need to fix that LOGS_SHARE and restart. That was the only thing that looked bad in the health check.
Okay, I'm calling it a night. I'll march forward tomorrow night.
Thanks for all the spoon-feeding.

@bnhf what is the action Create a ChannelWatch Stack in Portainer? What does ChannelWatch do?
Follow-up question: is there a post/Wiki page/GitHub ReadMe/something that explains what all the actions/scripts do in OliveTin? I think that will be useful.
I can provide details for my scripts. 
I clicked on "Create Fruit ADBTuner Lanes + CDVR Custom Channels", but I don't think this did anything different from what I did in FruitDeepLinks (created lanes for ESPN) and (refreshed) the same custom channels I had created manually in Channels.
I didn't see it do anything to ADBTuner. I'm still missing something.
I'm probably going to deprecate that Action. The developer popped-up out of nowhere, both on this forum and Github, and then disappeared just as quickly. His project once sent 6000 pushes through my Pushover account, which he never explained.
My trust level on this project is very low, and the dev hasn't posted here in 9 months.
Did you refresh the ADBTuner WebUI page?
Go ahead and post the output from the Action's results window. Also, there's a debug log Action that you could post.
A screenshot of the values you're entering in the Action wouldn't hurt.
