Is this the place for help with setting up Sonarr/Radarr? - eviltoast

I was told this community might be able to help me…I’ve spent my entire day setting up sonarr/radarr on my Synology DS423+ 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?

    how do I change the root folder within radar?

    Settings->Media management->Scroll down to bottom

    I have set this up but qbittorrent still saves them in my /data/torrent folder

    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.

    I can get jellyfin/plex to work ok

    Be more specific

    Radarr is then copying my files to my media folder instead of hardlinking.

    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”

      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
