UNRaid Docker Recordings location?

[ralphq]

Hi,

I have my docker locations set up as follows:
/shares/DVR/mnt/user/ChannelsDRV_Recordings/
/channels-dvr/mnt/user/appdata/channels-dvr

Channels is recording but it's not going into the recordings share I set up and specified; that directory is always empty. If I change the directory by retyping the exact same name and apply the changes Channels can't find the old recording but the new ones are playable. Channels says I have 20GB available for recordings which is about the size on my docker.img file if that any helps.

I looked everywhere on my UNRaid file system and could not find the recordings. Any idea how I can track down where the recording are actually getting stored?

Thanks

What does the docker compose you're using look like?
I don't use UNRaid, but this might help Managing & customizing containers - Volume mappings inside a container | Unraid Docs

There is a configuration in unraid where you can mount the folder. Once you have folder mounted to the docker container you can see it in the docker container terminal. Now once you boot up the container you just have to add the location so that channels app knows where to store the files. By default it will go to a different location. It also matters what image you choose with unraid. (This question is basic docker fundamentals. Docker compose is not part of this question at all nor do you need to use it. We dont need a server with that running. )

Hi,

Ok where do I specify the directory after I start the container?

Thanks
