I half follow. I have given radarr access to the top level folder (/data, not /data/media) so it should see everything. qbittorrent is linked to /data/torrents for my downloads. Where in radarr might I map the folders so it's hard linking instead of copying?
I ran into these issues with sonarr. I believe my fix was how the volumes were labelled. My understanding is they communicated the directory but if the other sonarr doesn’t know where to look for it, it won’t be able to find it
Torrent client - data/downloads:/var/data/downloads
Sonarr - data: var/data
This was when the torrent client is passing the location to sonarr is says thesimpsons.mp3 is located in data/download/the Simpson.mp3 and sonarr can then locate it
So for all docker apps use just
/dataand for jellyfin you can use/data/mediaIn Radarr: add root folder
/data/media/moviesadd download client withradarrcategoryIn qbittorrent: Eddit your
radarrcategory and set download path as/data/torrent/moviesIn jellyfin: Add movie library with path
/data/media/moviesSo when you add a movie in radarr, it will start downloading it in '/data/torrent/movies
and once its finished it will be renamed and hard linked todata/media/movies`Hard linking is by default, but you can check in Settings - Media Management - Importing (make sure to enable "advanced" in radarr)
So for all docker apps use just /data and for jellyfin you can use /data/media -I am using /data for all my docker apps
In Radarr: add root folder /data/media/movies add download client with radarr category -how do I change the root folder within radarr? I do have a radarr category setup for qbittorrent
In qbittorrent: Eddit your radarr category and set download path as /data/torrent/movies -I have set this up but qbittorrent still saves them in my /data/torrent folder
In jellyfin: Add movie library with path /data/media/movies -I can get jellyfin/plex to work ok
So when you add a movie in radarr, it will start downloading it in '/data/torrent/moviesand once its finished it will be renamed and hard linked todata/media/movies` -qbittorrent is not downloading to /data/torrent/movies even though I set the category to. Radarr is then copying my files to my media folder instead of hardlinking.
Hard linking is by default, but you can check in Settings - Media Management - Importing (make sure to enable “advanced” in radarr) -I do have the setting turned on to hardlink but it's copying
Settings->Media management->Scroll down to bottom
That is probably your default qbittorrent download path, but thats fine. There are settings for what happens when you open torrent file or magnet link.
And make sure radarr torrent client saves to same category in qbit.
Be more specific
Are you sure about that? Data exists in both folders, but doesnt use double size on disk. If you delete one - the other one remains, if you delete both they are gone. Check your disk usage before/after radar "copy"
Lol
I am able to get jellyfin/plex to work with the correct folders so they see my media when after it's been copied over by radarr.
I am certain radarr is copying and not hardlinking. Going to the properties of the torrents folder and the properties of my media folder is showing that each folder is using up the same amount of space. Unless this is how it's shown when hardlinking is being used? I don't know how to check my disk space in anything but terabytes so it's hard to say how much space is being used that way when a file I download is only 1GB.
No offense, but Im certain it is hardlinking and not copying 😂 That is exactly how hardlinking works. Both files are 1GB and together also 1GB. If you want to stop seeding - delete in torrent folder, if you want to remove it from jellyfin - delete in media folder, if you want to remove it completely - delete both.
And you can remove them with radarr/qbit, no need to browse the folders
No offense taken, this is all new to me so I’m just trying to understand. If this is how the hardlinking works then I’m all set, thanks!
Enjoy, its awesome software
In settings --> download clients. Underneath qbittorrent you'll see remote path mappings. Make sure qbittorrent's internal path mapping is mapped to radarr's. So if qbittorrent downloads to /data/torrents, the mapping should be path internally in qbittorrent
/data/torrentsmaps to path internally radarr/data/torrents.Then in Radarr, whenever you do an import or download a new movie, point it to
/data/media/and choose hardlinking on import, typically bottom left in the import gui.
