   • Host port: 7000, this is the port you will use to access Reaparr in the browser
   • Volumes: these are the locations where Reaparr will store its data. The left box is for the folder on your computer, the right box is for the folder inside the container. You can change the left box to any folder on your computer, but the right box should stay the same.

If you encounter issues downloading a file, you may need to check your permissions to the mounts within the Docker container. To change the mount permissions:

1. Open Docker
2. Locate the Reaparr Container from the Container view list
3. Click Reaparr
4. From the available tabs at the top, click Exec This will present you with a shell window.
5. Run the following commands (copy and paste)

chmod -R 777 /Config
chmod -R 777 /Downloads
chmod -R 777 /Movies
chmod -R 777 /TvShows

6. This will permit Docker to write to your Windows mounts (assuming you have successfully mounted them).
7. Done!
