Volumes and Paths
There are two common problems with Docker volumes: Paths that differ between the Sonarr and download client container and paths that prevent fast moves and hard links.
The first is a problem because the download client will report a download's path as /torrents/My.Series.S01E01/, but in the Sonarr container that might be at/downloads/My.Series.S01E01/. The second is a performance issue and causes problems for seeding torrents. Both problems can be solved with well planned, consistent paths.

Hey guys I am making a video on how to cut the cord and use torrents and Usenet to download your favorite Movies, TV Shows and Music. I will not link torrent.
Most Docker images suggest paths like /tv and /downloads. This causes slow moves and doesn't allow hard links because theyare considered two different file systems inside the container. Some also recommend paths for the download client container that are different from the Sonarr container, like /torrents.
The best solution is to use a single, common volume inside the containers, such as /data.Your TV shows would be in /data/TV, torrents in /data/downloads/torrents and/or usenet downloads in /data/downloads/usenet.
If this advice is not followed, you may have to configure a Remote Path Mapping in the Sonarr web UI (Settings › Download Clients).

Ownership and Permissions
Permissions and ownership of files is one of the most common problems for Sonarr users, both inside and outside Docker. Most images have environment variables that can be used to overridethe default user, group and umask, you should decide this before setting up all of your containers.The recommendation is to use a common group for all related containers so that each container can use the shared group permissions to read and write files on the mounted volumes.
Keep in mind that Sonarr will need read and write to the download folders as well as the final folders.
