I use Prowlarr + Radarr + Sonarr + Jellyfin.
I have
/datadirectory organised like this:Files added from Sonarr goes to
torrents/tvand that for Radarrtorrents/movies. Once the torrent client has downloaded the files, Sonarr and Radarr hardlinks the needed files tomedia's respective folders. I have setmedia/tvfor shows andmedia/moviesfor movies on Jellyfin. Everything is automated, I love it.I have nothing to add to this. This is exactly how I do it as well.
Pretty much my method. On an unRaid server so that I can have a flat user space interface and expand as needed.
My collecting isn’t as automated and only my video media is aggregated into a viewing platform (Plex), but it’s pretty easy to find anything on a moments notice.
Would you happen to have any recommendations for any compete noob UNRAID resources? I have a GSA and I’m very interested in using UNRAID on that, but I haven’t played around with non-Windows or OSX OSes in over 15 years.
The unRaid forums are the place to go. TBH, it’s so bullet proof I only ever do anything with it when I rebuild my server. The last time was ~3 years ago.
The management is a nice gui, the docker setup is mostly automatic, but doing anything beyond basics is command line. I almost never use *ix but it’s really not that bad.
I’ll start there, thank you! That’s the only thing holding me back from having a home server, like I’ve always wanted. Well, that, and having to screw like ten 2.5” SAS drives into sleds. That’s too many screws.
Look for spaceinvaderone on YT. He has great tutorials for almost everything. One note of caution, the Unraid UI has evolved, so some things ma look different.
I also run Unraid with Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and Overseer running as dockers. Its a great system.
I second this. Sapceinvaderone has some great Unraid videos. I'd also recommend checking our IBRACORP, they have some videos about setting up Unraid just like @myxi@feddit.nl
I have a similar setup but without the hardlinks. Can you explain the benefits/reason for using the them? I think I understand what a hardlink is, but don't quite get why you'd use it in this context.
The torrent client can get confused about the authenticity of the files if you make any changes to the files that were downloaded. It can also have trouble finding all the files required for seeding, so moving the needed files to
mediais a no.Once the torrent client finishes downloading the files, instead of copying the needed files among them to
media's respective folder, we simply make a hardlink to it to save space and to ensure the authenticity of the files intorrentsfolder such that the torrent client has no trouble seeding the files.The seeded folder which contains the needed files can also contain media that can potentially confuse Jellyfin such that it shows it; furthermore, less useless files also decreases the scanning time taken by Jellyfin. So instead of directly linking the respective folders in
torrentswe have a separate and more clean directory for Jellyfinmedia.TL;DR: to save space and to ensure your torrent client can keep seeding the files.
