It worked, thank you :) Looking forward to it

from unpackerr.

Is there a .rar file in /media/debian-transmission/Storage/Downloads/Completed/(edited out) ?

from unpackerr.

Yes

from unpackerr.

Is this running in a jail? a chroot? a docker container?
What version is it? How did you install it?
Running on the same host as transmission and radarr/sonarr?

I can't really say what it is for sure. Maybe the answers to these questions will help, but I'm a bit stumped. If there's arar file in that folder, it should find it and extract it. Perhaps the app is running as a user without privileges to read that folder?

More:

ps aux | grep unpack < what user is it running as?

See if that user can read the folder:

sudo -u <username> ls "/media/debian-transmission/Storage/Downloads/Completed/(edited out)"

Installed this file: unpackerr_0.7.0-82_amd64.deb In ubuntu 20.04.
All apps running running on same host.

ps aux | grep unpack

from unpackerr.

what user and group owns the files in /media/debian-transmission/Storage/Downloads/Completed/ ?

from unpackerr.

debian-transmission owns as both user and group

from unpackerr.

Okay, try this.. edit /lib/systemd/system/unpacker.service and change the User= line to User=debian-transmission. You can also add Group=debian-transmission if you want. Then run:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart unpackerr

This will make the app run as thedebian-transmission user; giving it access to all those files. I'm not real sure if there's a better way to handle this at the moment, but hoping this works!

EDIT: I just combined/cleaned up comments for readability. Thank you for the report, and good luck!

UPDATED: Unpackerr now uses a dedicated user in the systemd unit file and linux packages. The correct fix now days is to add the unpackerr user to the debian-transmission group and set the umask so the group can write.
