My only guess is that they were trying to map their config/downloads/library folders to the same location. And yeah, that probably wouldn’t work.
Comment on Could somebody share a working Arr stack in docker with me?
tyler@programming.dev 3 weeks agoI’m very confused what it was that they moved into individual folders. And also configuring the naming of movies and shows is done in radarr and sonarr, not in docker compose.
I highly recommend Trash Guides for configuring these services. trash-guides.info

Poor explanation on my part. I had to move each of my movies from /movies/movie.mkv to /movies/folder/movie.mkv before Radarr could import them. I gave up after that so when I get off work today I’ll be able to actually import them and see if it moves and renames them this time.

Ah yeah, that’s because it will use the folder to store extra files as well, like subtitles, metadata, etc… Just dumping every media file into a single “Movies” library isn’t great, because you’ll have a ton of overlapping files. Separating them into their own folders allows you to store those extra files alongside the media.

I get that part, I just didn’t expect it to be incapable of starting with loose files. I’d like them properly foldered.

You shouldn’t be manually moving anything, though sometimes it is necessary. But when you’re first getting started I really just recommend following the TRaSH guides and then redownloading a few things to make sure it works properly. It explains a lot and it’s exactly what the people on the discord will tell you to do for all of this before going any further.

On the current install, absolutely. I had to manually move all my media off of my previous installation and onto external drives so I could fresh install the entire Ubuntu server OS because I wasn’t a fan of the logical volume system. I like being able to pull the whole hdd when sftp is too slow.
