I always wondered why hardlinks in radarr/ sonarr and qbittorrent didn’t work for me. I think the problem was that I mapped the directories as below:
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- ./downloads:/downloads
- ./movies:/movies
whereas I should’ve mapped them as:
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- ./media:/media
- ./media/downloads:/media/downloads
- ./media/movies:/media/movies
Now, how do I replace all the duplicate files in /downloads
with the links?
You can’t hard link across docker volumes. In the second example, you need to remove the /media/movies and /media/downloads volumes, only keep /media.
After fixing this, only future downloads will be hard links. Use a deduplication tool like jdupes to create hard links for the already downloaded files.
Thank you!
Hard links are default. Files look like duplicates but they dont take double amount of storage. To empty storage you have to delete both files.
As someone elese already said, you should use single volume for both radarr and qbittorrent.
This is from wiki.servarr:
data ├── torrents │ ├── movies │ ├── music | ├── books │ └── tv ├── usenet │ ├── movies │ ├── music │ ├── books │ └── tv └── media ├── movies ├── music ├── books └── tv
Following this you should have
volumes: - /path_to_qbit_config:/config - /path_to_data:/data
volumes: - /path_to_radarr_config:/config - /path_to_data:/data
What’s the best way to easily delete both files? I first assumed that deleting listings from Radarr cleaned up both files.
I couldnt find best way tbh. You could set your qbittorrent to auto delete after some time or when hit specific ratio, then manually delete from arrs. There is also app that auto deletes library after X days (, but didnt try it myself.
None of that suits my needs, so I just do it manually from both qbit and library
Edit: best way is to get more storage so you do it less frequently or you never do it 🙃
I setup the auto-delete function. I placed a very high ratio and a certain amount of days to stay active. I’d prefer to seed indefinitely but this will do for now.
I’m definitely getting more storage soon.
Run jdupes to re-hardlink the downloads to the media.
jdupes
thx
Killing GitHub through attrition
Once migration is complete, I’ll be locking the GitHub repos as read-only forever, though I am inclined to delete them outright since the only power people have over giant corporations is no longer feeding them your time, money, content, and other resources. That’s why I destroyed my several years of contributions to Reddit. It’s more convenient to use the offerings of these companies, but using them results in horrible abuses of the users and stifling of freedoms in the long run.
Refreshing 🥰
I don’t think that particular setup has any issue but have you confirmed if it is enabled and they were copies and not hard links? Doing ls -l will show hard link count. Also all of those directories are in home folder right? I don’t think you can keep them in different partitions but don’t quote me on that.
What is radaar?? Never heard about it??
Just add more storage /s
