Hi all,

I need your help optimizing my current setup, as I’m sure there’s room for improvement.

Current Setup

1. Machine 1:
   • Hardware: Asrock J5040, 8GB RAM, 2 x 12TB HDDs, 250GB SSD (OS installed).
   • Software:
     • Operating System: OMV7
     • Docker Containers: Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Tautulli (considering Tdarr, but it’s not a priority yet).
2. Machine 2:
   • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3, 1TB HDD.
   • Software: Transmission Daemon, WireGuard VPN.

Current Workflow

• I use the Raspberry Pi for downloading files via Transmission.
• A script moves the downloaded files from the Raspberry Pi to the OMV7 machine.

Issues

1. Seeding Problems:
   • Once files are moved to OMV7, I can’t reseed them from the Raspberry Pi.
   • Keeping files in both locations (Pi and OMV7) feels inefficient and takes up extra space.
2. Manual File Handling:
   • Occasionally, I add files manually that are not managed by Radarr or Sonarr.
   • These files need to be organized into the correct folders (e.g., “Movies” or “Series”).

Goals

1. Keep using the Raspberry Pi for downloading.
2. Store a single copy of downloaded files on OMV7 and seed directly from there.
3. Ensure manually added files are correctly organized.

How would you recommend setting this up? Any advice on tools or workflow changes would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
