¶ Permissions & Folder Structure
- PUID / PGID: Ensure you use a user/group with the correct permissions for accessing media folders. TrueNAS SCALE defaults to 568:568 for apps.
- Volumes: The container structure follows a common-sense naming convention, storing configurations under /mnt/tank/configs/tdarr
- 📌 Refer to the Folder-Structure guide for more details.
This compose is setup for an iGPU. Tdarr works best with a dGPU, and if you have an nVidia card, remove the
devices: - /dev/dri:/dev/driline and uncomment all the lines below it (starting with
deploy).
- Under Storage Configuration use Host Path for each of the datasets (Tdarr Server Storage, Tdarr Configs Storage, Tdarr Logs Storage, Tdarr Transcode Storage) and point them to datasets you create in your pool.
- Click the Add button for Additional Storage to pass the
mediadirectory into the container. - At the very bottom, click the box to Select NVIDIA GPU(s) to pass your dGPU into the container.
