High-Level Architecture

Mounts and Drives Info

• /dbx - encrypted rclone mount
• /media - mergerfs mount for mounts /temp:/dbx
• /downloads - NVME
• /temp - HDD
• /transcode - HDD

Workflow

1. Mount /dbx.
2. Mount /media. Sonarr/Radarr and Plex/Emby all read from /media.
3. NZBGet/Sabnzbd downloads to /downloads.
4. Sonarr/Radarr post-processes files in /downloads and moves them to /temp.
5. upload.timer triggers the upload.service daily, which runs the upload.sh script to move files from /temp to /dbx.
