Comment on Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow

I’ve literally just set this all up and it’s working now after some tinkering, so here’s what I found out. Assuming you have correctly configured the sonarr/qbitorrent api keys and credentials:

When you make a TV show request in Sonarr, it will automatically add the torrent to your download client (e.g qbitorrent)

qbitorrent will then download the file to wherever you specify (e.g. /torrents/completed)

periodically, Sonarr will scan that /torrents/completed folder, and if it finds the tagged TV show, it will either copy or hard link that video file to your specified media folder (e.g. /media/tv-shows)

JellyFin will do the same, periodically scanning your media folders to see if there are any updates

Also of note - if you’re using docker (and Linux), make sure the user is/group id match across everything to eliminate any permissions issues.

I think Sonarr uses the qBittorrent’s (or other supported torrent) API for checking the progress, instead of periodic scans. Everything else is solid.

I’m also trying to figure out a setup using Docker. What’s the recommended way of connecting the container to a VPN? Ideally I want to bind the qbittorrent container to a VPN while the rest of the machine is not connected to the VPN.

  literally was going through the exact same thoughts as you a couple a weeks ago, tried so many different configurations but the one i found that worked was actually kinda simple
  
  basically they way i did was to run a gluetun docker container, and then in the environment variables pass in the the fact i wanted this to use the WireGuard VPN manager, and then i passed in my Proton VPN wireguard api key (you’ll need a subscription for this)
  
  then once that gluetun container is up and running, you literally just add “network_mode: service:gluetun” to any other containers that you want to use this VPN
  
  can you can even test its working by sending a curl command to an ip checking site from within those containers connected to gluetun

  I use Glutun for this
