I have an arr suite setup running on a VPS. All is good except that this is the second iteration of my server deployment, and I had existing content on Google Drive when I got started with this, so bear with me for an explanation.
My system is based on something like this except.
In fact this is roughly exactly how my system works except
- I have a VPS set up with an ARR suite.
- This is the second deployment of my server. Initially, I had existing content on Google Drive before starting with this deployment.
- The issue revolves around the “gmedia-cloud” folder on Google Drive. You’ve mounted it locally using rclone, and it contained content from the previous server deployment.
- After reinstalling Sonarr, Radarr, and other tools, they lost track of this content. I managed to get them to recognize it by scanning the “gmedia-cloud” folder using the rclone mount.
- However, the problem arises when you add new content to the arr suite. To keep track of it, you set the root folder for Sonarr and Radarr to the “gmedia-local” folder. But when rclone performs a move operation, the new content is moved to what you call “olddata” (which is stored in the cloud), and it can be accessed from “gmedia-cloud.”
- Jellyfin isn’t an issue as it reads this stuff from the merged directory, called gmedia, as it can stream the new as well as old stuff.
- The disjoint is that the old content needs to be tracked and new content also needs to be accommodated, how to fix this disjoint basically, is my question. Permission issues of all sorts crop up between different arr apps due to this screw up, and even issues between different seasons of the same tv show, since some seasons were already on gdrive, while others must be added anew.
I know it sounds weird and complicated in a dumb manner, I just can’t figure out how to explain it better. How do I unfuck this system?
