Hi everyone,
I’m having a very persistent and frustrating issue with volume mounts when running torrent clients behind Gluetun on UmbrelOS.
Setup:
-
UmbrelOS (latest) on Umbrel Pro
-
Gluetun (WireGuard + Mullvad)
-
Tried both linuxserver/qbittorrent and linuxserver/transmission
-
Running with network_mode: “container:gluetun”
-
Managing stacks via Portainer
Problem:
Downloads are successfully completed inside the container, but never appear on the host filesystem / in the Umbrel File Manager under Downloads.
Volume mounts I tried:
YAML
- /home/umbrel/umbrel/home/Downloads:/downloads
- /home/umbrel/Downloads:/downloads
Commands executed on host:
Bash
mkdir -p /home/umbrel/Downloads
chown -R 1000:1000 /home/umbrel/Downloads
chmod -R 775 /home/umbrel/Downloads
# Also tried:
mkdir -p /home/umbrel/umbrel/home/Downloads/complete
chown -R 1000:1000 /home/umbrel/umbrel/home/Downloads
chmod -R 775 /home/umbrel/umbrel/home/Downloads
Inside the container:
Bash
mount | grep downloads # returns nothing → mount not active
ls -la /downloads # shows the downloaded files are there
The volume shows up correctly in Portainer’s Volumes tab, but the bind mount is not actually working inside the container.
Other official Umbrel apps (Immich, Jellyfin, etc.) have no problems with volume mounts.
Has anyone else experienced this issue recently?
Is there a known limitation with deep paths under /home/umbrel/umbrel/… or when using network_mode: “container:gluetun”?
Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
