Let's create a shared folder where we can store our downloads. This step explain how to create a shared folder named Downloads on Volume1 where we can store our downloads files from different apps: Sabnzbd, Transmission, qBittorrent etc.

In UGOS, open File Manager, go to Shared Folder, click on the small + icon and select New Shared Folder

Choose a name for the shared folder, named Downloads in our guide, select the volume in which you want to folder to be created and click on Create

If you want you can select additional permissions in the next window. By default, the admin group have Read and Write permission and is all what we need for now. Press on OK.

Now that our shared folder is created, we need to create a folder inside where Sabnzbd will download the files.
On the left menu, click on Downloads folder, then the small + icon and select New Folder

Name the new folder Sabnzbd and click on Confirm

Now we have our folder to store the downloaded files

Open Portainer by typing in your web browser http://yournasip:19000

After you login on Portainer, go to Home, then click on your Local Environment

Go to Stacks and click on Add stack

On the name type sabnzbd, select Web editor and paste the code below.

Make sure you replace the PUID and PGID with the values for your user found on Step 3
Make sure you replace the TZ value with the value for your specific zone found on Step 4
Downloaded filed will be saved to /volume1/Downloads/Sabnzbd (the folder created on step 5)

restart: you can choose from always, unless-stopped, or on-failure[:number of retries]
