Docker file download solution


Recommended Posts

I am wanting to do this. But I cannot figure out a couple of things.

 

Say I manually obtain torrents from private trackers. In unRAID I have:

    /mnt/user/downloads/

              /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/movies

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/tv

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/watch/music

 

So if I am getting a movie I save it to the proper folder above.

 

I can setup an rsync that wil take the entire folder /watch and sync to the equivalent on the seedbox. The seed box will find it, apply proper label, download, and copy completed to a specified folder on the seedbox. I do the copy because I need to keep seeding to maintain proper ratios.

 

I can then do a separate rsync process to get the completed download to the appropiate folder in unRAID.... something like:

              /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/movies

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/tv

                    /mnt/user/downloads/torrents/complete/music     

 

I can have my Autoprocess from Sonarr/Sickrage and Couchpotato monitor those folders and to put the file in the right place on my media share.

 

Ideally I would like to try to automate the rsync processes (via crontab). But what happens after the files get processed locally and moved away from the /downloads/complete folder on the next rsync??? The files are still in the seedbox's /complete folder. They will get re-synched back to the now empty local /complete folder.

 

This is begging for a nice turnkey solution as originally posted by benflux. I assume one will need scripts on the seedbox to delete after rsync, etc.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

H.

 

btw. The seedbox I subscribe to uses ruTorrent.
