Thanks to this community popping up on my hot feed, I’ve spent my entire day setting up sonarr/radarr on my 423+ NAS within docker. I got most of it figured out on my own but I’m stumped on how sonarr/radarr takes the files from my torrent client downloads folder and moves them to my media folder for plex/jellyfin to view.

I’ve followed this guide for how my folder structure is setup: https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-guide

Could someone point me in the direction of what I need to do so that when a file is finished downloading it automatically moves to my media folder?

    Mine aren’t hard linked then because radarr is copying them from my /data/torrents (qbittorrent download location) and putting them in my /data/media/movies folder. When I view the properties of the top level folder it is showing the space used as twice what the actual file is.

      That should be a simple setting in both radarr and sonarr. They can hardlink or copy. I’m not sure what the default is nowadays but it was copy when I installed it.

      The hard linking only works of the source and destination are in the same mount, for example /data/downloads:/downloads /data/media:/media Will create copies and use double the storage on just hard linking, to make it hardlink you need to put the downloads and destination folders in the same directory so make the docker mount look like /data:/data instead. Then you just need to tell your torrent client to put the downloaded files into /data/downloads/(either sonarr or radarr) and the the arrs can look into their folders and then hardlink the files into /data/media/whatever

      I have no clue if any of this is understandable, but I can post my docker compose once I get to my pc
