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 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.
