<h5>Volumes and Paths</h5>
<p>
There are two common problems with Docker volumes: Paths that differ between the Prowlarr and download client container and paths that prevent fast moves and hard links.<br>
The first is a problem because the download client will report a download's path as
<code>/torrents/My.Movie.2018/</code>, but in the Prowlarr container that might be at
<code>/downloads/My.Movie.2018/</code>. The second is a performance issue and causes problems for seeding torrents. Both problems can be solved with well planned, consistent paths.
</p>
<p>
Most Docker images suggest paths like
<code>/movies</code>
and
<code>/downloads</code>. This causes slow moves and doesn't allow hard links because they
are considered two different file systems
<i>inside</i>
the container. Some also recommend paths for the download client container that are different from the Prowlarr container, like
<code>/torrents</code>.<br>
The best solution is to use a single, common volume
<i>inside</i>
the containers, such as
<code>/data</code>.
Your Movies would be in
<code>/data/Movies</code>, torrents in
<code>/data/downloads/torrents</code>
and/or usenet downloads in
<code>/data/downloads/usenet</code>.
</p>
<p>If this advice is not followed, you may have to configure a Remote Path Mapping in the Prowlarr web UI (Settings &rsaquo; Download Clients).</p>
