    One key principal Id like to share with anyone struggling to get this to work with each of the sabnzb, radarr and sonarr is ALL OF YOUR /DATA DIRECTORIES SHOULD BE THE SAME in docker. If they arent the same then you are screwing something up. The shorter the directory the more access the docker apps have to your files. So keep the docker directories SHORT and then give the apps access inside the app. Good luck! Its worth it when you finally understand this. I spent like 60 hours just because there is old info and disinfo all over the place. So starting with this video is a great step forward. THANKS AGAIN!

    Excellent review. Very thorough and most importantly you showed the actual folder mappings from beginning to end for everyone. This is something that should always be done in tutorials for beginners. Thank you for the great review and hope to see more for UnRAID. I would also like you to add NZBGet to this portion of the video or a follow-up, thanks.

      @@whyktor7S Seeing as how I just went through this mess, Here's the steps: (note using vuetorrent UI)
      1. Go to settings
      2. Under saving management set default torrent management mode to AUTOMATIC
      3. go to tags & categories
      4. for each category set up, select the destination folder ONLY and not the full path since it's already defined. Your path simply needs to be "movies" or "tv." If you put the full path it will create a new directory with sub directories and finally the target folder, which makes a mess.

    Thank you for a great guide, truly made it possible for me to set up with little to no previous knowledge of unraid. However, I had massive problems with my Plex remote access. I got a errors regarding to uPnP/NAT, which I know nothing about. Looked for solutions online and tried a bunch of stuff.
    Portforwarding gave me an indirect connection in Plex, enable/disable uPnP in my router changed nothing. What eventually solved it was to switch the Plex docker settings from my docker network ("Ibraproxy" in this video), to "Host". That instantly gave me a direct connection to all my devices, both in my home and outside.
    So to all you noobs out there - try that :)

    EDIT: Hi guys! Thank you for watching. There is an additional step I missed and I apologize. In the tags/categories section in Qbit torrent, you should set the path also! So where you have the Radarr tag, add the path to the folder you want them to save in as well. Same for Sonarr. For example /data/media/torrents/tv

    • @BB-Rareburto
      @BB-Rareburto 3 роки тому +1

      I read Trashes Guide about a month ago. (same as Servarr guide, which is like an official guide, i think?). And it sounded better than all the prior methods I saw on various youtubes. I guess by having all media under one main share (or folder), then files moved within that share are super efficient because they don't really move - they just get new path metadata attached. I guess it cannot do that if the files moves across to a different share - but I don't understand why not, or maybe i got it all wrong.
      Anyway, I was sold on Trashes guide. I wanted a video that used Trashes guide, and that was prescriptive, so that I can just follow directions (and not have to understand too much). Your video came just in time, and seems to be the ONLY one that uses Trashes guide. I used it, and I THANK YOU, sincerely. Wow, your video editing is tight and professional. Thank heaven for the pause button so I can catch up with you. THANK YOU.
      There is still a ton more I need help with, so if this is popular, I hope to see more from you for all the settings in each of those containers.

    @IAmatVictoriaCuramI 3 роки тому +1

    Awesome videos. I have watched many of them and I appreciate the level of detail you use as it has helped me gain a better understanding. I have partially implemented but I don't give the *arrs direct access to my media storage still. I don't know why but I have a hard time allowing dockers delete access. I don't fully trust them yet. :)
    Another method if you don't want to "move" files when changing where they are located is in the Settings>SMB>SMB Extras. You can configure it to export shares as a singular virtual share so that when you drag drop in Windows, it's not using the copy/paste functionality as it perceives all items to be on the same exported SMB share. As long as you aren't moving items from one physical disk to another on unraid (i.e if tv shows are on disk 1 and movies are on disk 2 exclusively and you move the file between them) then it won't actually move the file, it will just change the logical drive the file is associated with. From Windows you just need to access the "unraid" (or whatever you name it) share and then used the underlying folders.
    Also note that if you are utilizing a cache drive, it will still use the mover array operation as you have it scheduled.
    Here is mine as an example:
    [unraid]
    path = /mnt/user
    comment =
    browseable = yes
    valid users = [user name here, preferably your Windows logon for ease of use]
    write list = [user name here, preferably your Windows logon for ease of use]
    vfs objects =
    #unassigned_devices_start
    #Unassigned devices share includes
    include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf
    #unassigned_devices_end
    #vfs_recycle_start
    #Recycle bin configuration
    [global]
    syslog only = Yes
    syslog = 0
    logging = 0
    log level = 0 vfs:0
    #vfs_recycle_end

    Another helpful video mate, kickin goals! … I’m a long term UnRAID user/dinosaur ;) … since v4, and I’ve had many many variations along the way of how my media automation is set up … I’ve tried using hard linking before, however it was a clusterf$&k … but maybe that was just at that time and the *darrs and corresponding download apps just weren’t quite polished enough … I don’t even wanna think how many hours of my life I wasted writing custom scripts to try and get proper automated downloads and media management working back then haha 😂 … so like you, for a long time, I’ve been running standard separate shares for downloads, movies, tv, music etc
    Always keen to try new (and old) ideas though! 😊
    Just to confirm, I don’t believe the container paths MUST be a root folder like /data and then with the corresponding is folders for the different items … I think passing multiple mappings in the containers will also work the same like /movies /tv /music … as long as the mappings for the downloaders and the *darrs are the same, then you don’t need to worry about remote host shares stuff in the *darrs.
    However, in addition, there is valid reasons for different root shares to be set up for organising your media e.g /downloads /movies /tv … and one of the main ones is split level folder management and also drive inclusion and exclusion … having everything in a data share prevents the ability to use different split level folders setting for say /movies with 2 levels, and /tv and /music with 3 levels.
    Pros and cons either way, so it’s just whatever works best for people’s own use case really.
    Side note: good to see another Aussie kickin goals … I’m in brissy, whereabouts are you? … feel free to PM me if you feel like collab 👍🏼

      It definitely reduces the read writes by huge amount because everything is handled instantly within the same share.

    I can't help but laugh. This was a good video but the files from Radarr and Sonarr were not moving to the final directory. Being frustrated over the last couple of days I've been up for the last 26hrs until I figured it out with the missing path outside of docker container. I came back here to write about it but I see that has already been addressed. I watched your video on my tv where the comments were not being shown!!! Anyway glad it's fixed now. I had it working before viewing the video except it was copying the files instead of moving and so each file would take about 5-10 min to move to the final directory, but now it works instantly. I changed my entire file structure and naming to match the video and when it all stopped working I was losing it. Thank God it all works now! Now I can go to sleep.

      Han has answered it here so thanks for that. I'll also add a comment from Redditor ShaKsKreedz:
      Good video mate! To add to this-- A lot of people have a "Media" share and a "downloads" share. If you dont want to go out and rename your shares you can just add your downloads folder tp your media share and have everything mapped to that.
      For example radarr will be -> /data/ - /mnt/users/Media/
      torrent client will be -> /data/torrents/ - /mnt/user/Media/torrents/

These categories have created in qBit, but how can I indicate to sonarr and radarr, to not to put all in radarr & tv-sonarr default categories. Is it possible or it is valid for 1-1 folders only?

    I am confused on the transcode. I understand you set the /mnt/user/appdata/plex/transcode folder. Is that folder where transcodes are saved when you have Plex generate and save a media file at a certain resolution? In my new build I want 4K content, but I am the only one who has a 4K TV so the handful of people I let use my server they will be causing the server to transcode the media. Does that file come into play?

    Thank you so much for making this! I followed everything to a T, but for some reason my sonarr downloads stay in usenet/tv and Plex doesn't find them in the correct library.

Does that make sense? What am I missing?

      Have you checked your Sonarr settings to ensure downloading handling is enabled? Check Settings > Download Clients > Completed Download Handling.

      You are correct and in hindsight I would change it. GilbN has actually informed me of a way to map it to RAM so it never touches a disk: Hot tip when it comes to transcoding. If you set the transcode path to /dev/shm:/container_path and use /container_path in plex it will transcode directly to RAM and save your cache some writes /dev/shm will be half of your availble RAM

    Great tutorial. But, really, for us Aussies, uploads speeds are terrible. I am on 1000/50 FTTP. I would have to pay $10 a day to get 1000/400. For us, it is better to have a remote dedicated server for the .arrs and downloaders. With an UnRaid storage box, having multiple shares allows finer control of where it goes on cache, which disk each media type goes to, and how each media type fills the disk. Having it just on one share does not allow this. Maybe one day we'll get there as a country.

    Thanks for your video. It's very helpful as a first time user. I have a dumb question. I've read that hardlinks does not work across filesystems and has to live on one volume/disk.. But it seems your share is using all disks pooled. This seems contradictory, what am I missing? Does one filesystem really mean one single share? Thanks.

    • @IBRACORP
      @IBRACORP  3 роки тому +2

      That is incorrect. It just has to be one share, as they disks are irrelevant since the 'directory' is still one location for the front as a share.
      Disks are not seen as seperate, Unraid handles that behind the scenes.
      Once you change to this layout you will notice how superior it is to other methods shown online or on UA-cam

    Is there a reason why someone would NOT use this? It does sound great, however I am happy with my current setup with separate shares for Series/Movies/other downloads. Some shares have different security settings as who can do what. It seems like I will lose that? How would I have to do this via the CLI?
    Also, would I be able to view the same files in the same places on all 3 subfolders? For example, when I go to my shares via Samba, would I have to search a specific movie in each subfolder or can I see everything in one place? I guess that's the point of this.
    When I split my series and movies on two disks, would I also have faster data copies? That's what I have on my old Synology setup, and that seems to work great as well.

      One case I'm thinking of is the ability to split directories between drives as needed. Say you have the following:
      /data/media/tv/series/episode.mkv
      /data/movies/movie.mkv
      You wouldn't be able to split the /data directory levels the same way so say you're binge watching a tv series which has multiple episodes on different drives, it would have to spin up multiple drives versus a single drive which can have increased power usage and wear on all your drives.
