Comment on Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source
Sproutling@lemmy.ml 2 days agoI used to do that. I had a QNAP NAS and a small Intel NUC running Arch that would host all my services. I would just mount the NAS folders via Samba into the NUC. Problem is that services can’t watch the filesystem for changes. If I add a video to my Jellyfin directory, Jellyfin won’t automatically initiate a scan.
Nowadays, I just combine them into one. Just seems simpler that way.

That sounds like a config issue. I use NFS shares in a similar way, and Plex/*arr/etc has zero issues watching for changes.
I think it’s a samba limitation. Maybe NFS works well for that case.

I just have my downloader trigger a scan at completion.
I have a few proxmox clusters going, combining it all wouldn’t be practical. This way my servers (tiny/mini/micros I’ve repurposed) stay small with decent sized ssd’s, big storage in 2 NAS’s, and a third for backups.
