Unraid docker question/help

[Megahurtz400]

Evening all!

Having a bit of a tough time getting my head around how Unraid handles paths and docker containers.

I have qbittorrent installed, and would like to use the category sort feature to allow me to:

1. Add a torrent file to download
2. Right click and choose the category
3. The torrent to then download to a directory on the array, but outside of docker?
4. Allow the torrent to keep seeding through all of this

I know docker containers are usually isolated, but I just can't get my head around how to make this work, have spent most of today googling and researching but feel like i'm missing something simple which will unlock the rest of the answer if that makes sense?

Any help would be grand

Thanks for the replies @Bluecube & @Demon!

@Demon your explanation was perfectly oversimplified, and what I was thinking I needed to do already! So many videos/articles are either so simple they take hours to get through to get the "key" you need to unlock your thought process, or assume a level of expertise and skip over the basics completely!

All set up and working now, despite some torrents being hundreds of GB and taking a few days to move
