Empty folders being removed from downloads

Describe the bug
Folder in /downloads/ that are empty are automatically removed. I think it is mainly due to deemix. Just wondering if anyone has a workaround.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run Lidarr-on-steroids
  2. Add empty folders inside of /downloads/ location
  3. Import music from deemix
  4. Wait for it to scan empty folders and delete all inside of downloads location mount.

Expected behavior
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: Info|Lidarr event: AlbumDownload
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: Info|Cleaning empty folders
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: /downloads/nzbget/completed/Lidarr-music
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: /downloads/deemix/50 Cent/50 Cent - Best Friend (Remix)
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: /downloads/_torrent/watched
[Error] clean-downloads.sh: find: cannot delete ‘/downloads/_torrent/watched’: Permission denied

Was hoping that folders outside of /downloads/deemix would stay and anything inside would do it's thing. I've changed the folder inside of deemix to this location. Additional information below.

System info (please complete the following information):

  • OS: ubuntu,
  • Docker version 24.0.4

docker-compose.yml (please complete the following information):

version: "3"
services:
  lidarr:
    image: youegraillot/lidarr-on-steroids
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8686:8686" # Lidarr web UI
      - "6595:6595" # Deemix web UI
    volumes:
      - /home/user/Documents/docker-containers/lidarr-on-steroids:/config
      - /home/user/Documents/docker-containers/lidarr-on-steroids/deemix:/config_deemix
      - /srv/samba/media/unsorted:/downloads
      - /srv/samba/media/Music/Music-Library:/music
    networks:
      homelab:
        aliases:
          - lidarr
          - deemix
networks:
  homelab:
    name: homelab
    external: true

Additional context
I've also tried mounting the deemix folder directly, but it has issues with my other download clients. Can't find their download location if I narrow it too far. Although I guess I wouldn't need them as long as deemix could find everything. Just kind of stuck with what I should do here. It keeps deleting empty folders inside of /downloads/nzbget/completed/ which causes errors with arr clients using nzbget at the moment. If deemix could just not clean all empty folders would be perfect.

So I'm having the same issue and just ssh into the server and used sudo to touch an empty file inside each folder under the downloads/completed folder, music, tv, movies. Just a work around until a proper fix.

Yeah I ended up just creating text files in every folder just in case they happen to clean out. Was hoping someone might have a mount solution I just wasn't thinking about right.
But we make do until a proper fix comes along.

this is the expected behavior, I wrote a script that clean the downloads folder as it bothered me to have empty folders there
I added an option to disable this with the environment variable CLEAN_DOWNLOADS=false
