How To Set Up Hardlinks and Atomic-Moves

Description

  • Instant moves (Atomic-Moves) during import of the *arr (useful when using Usenet).
  • You want to perma seed.
  • You don't want to use twice the storage when using torrents. (hardlinks).

FAQ

??? faq "FAQ"

1. Q: **What are the `*arr`?**

    - Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, etc.

1. Q: **What are hardlinks?**

    - Short answer is "having a file in multiple folders" without using up your storage.
    - [Long Answer](https://medium.com/@krisbredemeier/the-difference-between-hard-links-and-soft-or-symbolic-links-780149244f7d){:target="_blank"}.

1. Q: **What's Atomic Moves?**

    - A real move and not a copy file from download folder to media folder and then delete file from download folder.

The default linuxserver{:target="_blank"} default path suggestions (/tv, /movies , /downloads) will break hard links and atomic moves. because they are seen as different volumes inside the container, resulting in a slow copy.

How to Setup for

DockSTARTer

??? summary "DockSTARTer"

!!! note

    I'm using the default paths in this example, and will keep the other paths unchanged so nothing will break if you make a mistake.

We're going to use a mounted drive that we're going to use as storage for downloads and your media.
In this example the mounted drive will be mounted to `/mnt/` with the following folder structure.

```
storage
├── downloads
|  ├── torrents
│  |   ├── movies
│  |   ├── music
│  |   └── tv
|  └── usenet
│     ├── movies
│     ├── music
│     └── tv
└── medialibrary
   ├── movies
   ├── music
   └── tv
```
##### Step 1
To accomplisch this we need to change first a few paths in your `.env` (Usually `~/.docker/compose/.env`)

```yaml
# Global Settings
COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=60
DOCKERCONFDIR=~/.config/appdata
DOCKERGID=999
DOCKERHOSTNAME=DockSTARTer
DOCKERLOGGING_MAXFILE=10
DOCKERLOGGING_MAXSIZE=200k
DOCKERSTORAGEDIR=/mnt/storage
PGID=1000
PUID=1000
TZ=America/Chicago

# DEPRECATED Settings (will be removed at the end of 2020)
DOCKERSHAREDDIR=~/shared
DOWNLOADSDIR=/mnt/downloads
MEDIADIR_AUDIOBOOKS=/mnt/medialibrary/audiobooks
MEDIADIR_BOOKS=/mnt/medialibrary/books
MEDIADIR_COMICS=/mnt/medialibrary/comics
MEDIADIR_MOVIES=/mnt/medialibrary/movies
MEDIADIR_MUSIC=/mnt/medialibrary/music
MEDIADIR_TV=/mnt/medialibrary/tv
```

##### Step 2

When that's all set then you will need to change the paths you're going to use in the containers from:

`/downloads` => `/storage/downloads`

`/audiobooks` => `/storage/medialibrary/audiobooks`

`/books` => `/storage/medialibrary/books`

`/comics`  => `/storage/medialibrary/comics`

`/movies` => `/storage/medialibrary/movies`

`/music` => `/storage/medialibrary/music`

`/tv` => `/storage/medialibrary/tv`

UnRaid

Soon

!!! info

Pick one path layout and use it for all of them.

It doesn't matter if you like to use `/data`, `/shared`, `/storage` or whatever.
