Setup NZBGet to use with Sonarr/Radarr

This basic example is based on the use of docker images

!!! note "" Keep in mind I've setup my paths so it works with hardlinks and you get instant moves.

!!! warning "" The default path setup used by Linux|Server.io don't support hardlinks and instant moves, but you're able to change this, by not using the pre-defined paths like /downloads /movies and /tv and use paths like /data/downloads, /data/media/movies and /data/media/tv.
