Is there a way to have Sonarr/Radarr download to Seedbox but monitor my local Plex server?
I use my seedbox to download and I synchronize it to my local Plex server via syncthing, however, I don't want to permanently store the data on the Plex server. I want to move it off once the download completes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Not sure if I entirely understand what you're asking but here's my setup that sounds similar-ish that might help.
I've got essentially 3 machines
- Download machine - contains Sonarr/Radar/Nzbget, etc... This machine isn't very powerful but it has A LOT of RAM.
- A Nas - this is where everything gets downloaded to. Primarily this machine just has a lot of HDD space.
- Jellyfin box -- Decent RAM and a beefy CPU for transcoding.
The download machine has a network share to download directly to the NAS in a special /downloads/ folder. Once a download completes Sonarr, etc... move it to it's correct media folder.
Finally the Jellyfin machine is monitoring the media folders for changes.
I assume you could set up something similar with Plex instead of jellyfin and then store the fully downloaded files on a separate machine with a network drive, so Plex can see it. Essentially the NAS for you would be two machines one (the seedbox) for the partial downloads and a local NAS for the fully downloaded files?
Anyway, not sure if that's what you're looking for.
This is basically my setup.
My NAS has individual folders for torrent files, downloads in progress, Seeding.
Radarr/Sonarr monitors the Seeding folder. Then copies the file to the appropriate folder for Plex.
Similar…
- Pi to do the downloads
- NAS to store it all
- Mac mini that is the Plex server
- various player devices (Apple tv, android box,etc)
