Setting up media server for self using arr stack.

Objective : Radarr + Sonarr + Jellyfin + qbittorrent (Indexer fetch) Indexer : Prowlarr

FileSystem Layer : Using mergerfs : path : tree struct :

/mnt/

DataCenter
└── Media
    ├── 01
    │   ├── lost+found
    │   └── movies
    ├── 02
    │   ├── lost+found
    │   └── movies
    └── 03
        ├── hoard_shows
        ├── movies
        └── Youtube

Issues got earlier : radarr unable to detect media : Detects only if media is stored in a subfolder .

It’s a great practice to store most media in mkv containers preferably h.265.

Qbittorrent major setting : Create subfolder Tends to seed automatically and to be imported in radarr without any issue.

Caveat : Radarr setting for renaming the folders should be turned off as if it does rename them > qbittorrent won’t be able to detect the file and seed.

I referred to the Trash Guide for the rest.
