Radarr / Qbittorrent: How to switch to hardlinks (lemmy.ml)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

14 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

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.
