Is this the place for help with setting up Sonarr/Radarr? (lemmy.world)

Thanks to this community popping up on my hot feed, I've spent my entire day setting up sonarr/radarr on my 423+ NAS within docker. I got most of it figured out on my own but I'm stumped on how sonarr/radarr takes the files from my torrent client downloads folder and moves them to my media folder for plex/jellyfin to view.

I've followed this guide for how my folder structure is setup: https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-guide

Could someone point me in the direction of what I need to do so that when a file is finished downloading it automatically moves to my media folder?

I am running DSM (Linux) 7.1.1 on my Synology NAS, I guess I should have been more clear, sorry. So I am using docker to run containers of sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, etc.

No worries.

To make your life easier you will want to pass the same "volume" to each of your containers so that they are all able to interact with the files the same way. For instance, if your movies are in /home/username/media/movies then make a volume for radarr, you can name it anything but for this example I'll use data, like so in docker:

/home/username/media:/data

Then inside radarr you can make your path inside.media management, root folders:

/data/movies

It works the same way for your downloads, just make sure your downloads go somewhere in the media folder, eg. /home/username/media/downloads. Then for your download client, use /home/username/media:/data in docker and inside the client download to /data/downloads.

Hope that makes sense
