Licensed docker - node works, watcher doesn't.

Hello, and thank you for Filebot.

First things first, I tried to retrieve the forum password associated to another email today, to no avail. In the eternal words of Mister T, I therefore pity the fool who would lose their forum password.

Something seems not to be working as it should.

For the rest: I am a (paying) customer, and I am using docker containers on a nas. I am pretty impressed with the filebot-node setup.

I ran it a couple of times against my qbittorrent/nas container, all good and dandy. It worked.

The root media volume is shared across containers. I map it as /volume1, and it contains my filebot output folders, plus a folder named "Active" where qbittorrent files are processed.

I started a filebot-watcher container alongside the filebot-node one. But it failed to run when a new file was completed.

It completely failed to run. I didn't get logs, I didn't get anything. Now, the way things are setup, my files are removed from qbittorrent at completion; while incomplete, they are stored in `Active/incomplete`, once complete, they reside in `Active/unsorted`.

That's where the watcher should expect them.

Code: Select all

docker run -dit --restart always -v $PWD:/volume1 -v data:/data rednoah/filebot:watcher /volume1/Active/unsorted --output /volume1 --action move -non-strict --order Airdate --conflict auto --lang en --def 'music=y' 'unsorted=y' 'clean=y' 'skipExtract=y' 'plex=<removed>' 'seriesFormat=Series/{n}/{episode.special ? '\''Specials'\'' : '\''Season '\''+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? '\''S00E'\''+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'\''/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart('\'', Part $1'\'')}{'\''.'\''+lang}' 'excludeList=.excludes' --log all --log-file '/data/.filebot-watcher/filebot.log'

But no worky.

Additionally, the data volume is shared, and in it, I find /data/.filebot/history.xml

Which has everything I processed with filebot-node, but nothing from what I tried to process with filebot-watcher.

When you start it, it should at least say something:

Code: Select all

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/volume1 -v data:/data rednoah/filebot:watcher /volume1/input --output /volume1/output
Setting up watches.
Watches established.

The process will then keep running indefinitely.


The script is rather simple, maybe you can figure out why it doesn't work for you:

Note that watching for file system events isn't exactly something that always works reliably, especially not if you're listening to events on the host from within the docker container.


It's very likely that it doesn't work because docker doesn't work. You could try running inotifywait on your host directly without docker, if it doesn't work from within docker.

It does give that output when I run it the way you do. In my example, I chose to use it with the d flag for "daemon" (-dit).

I think it might be an inotify issue. I'll run some experiments and let you know what I find.
