How to save downloaded files to another folder outside /downloads/

[maisun]

Hi, My video files are stored across different volumes, and I'd like to ask if it's possible to save downloaded files to another volume/folder? I tried symbolic link under /downloads/ folder but it doesn't seem to work for me. Thank you in advance!

You can mount different volume to your container, for example mount volume 3 to /downloads3. In rutorrent, you just need to manually type in /downloads3.

    volumes:
      - ../downloads:/downloads
      - ./home:/home

notice the ../downloads: this puts it one folder up from where it wants to be.. then starts a new download folder there. so essentially you can .. out to the /

if rutorrent/ was at /home/$USER/rutorrent and downloads was at /rutorrent/downloads. docker-compose looks like

- ./downloads:/downloads to have at /home/$USER/downloads

- ../downloads:/downloads to have /downloads at / root - ../../../../downloads:/downloads
