Synology DSM 7, /data/transmission-home keeps reappearing HOW TO FIX

[kyralretsam]

Hey everyone. I just spent a good couple hours trying to fix an issue with the latest Docker image on my Synology NAS and I figured I'd share how I did it.

First off, the symptoms. As per the release notes, I changed my TRANSMISSION_HOME volume to mount to /config/transmission_home and set the environment variable to match. HOWEVER somehow the old one (/data/transmission) kept being recreated and used, which was a problem because it was EMPTY.

Well after scouring the filesystem and checking the settings over and over again, I finally got the idea to go look at the Container via Portainer that I had installed on the NAS. Lo and behold on the Container, under the Volumes section, was an "anonymous" volume (big ol' string of hex digits) that was being mounted to /data/transmission-home that I couldn't see via any Synology interface. I deleted the volume and it's mount, restarted the container, and everything works fine.

I hope this helps!
