Infinite library with *Arr¶
Opinionated production path for maximum “always available” library feel with minimal local storage.
Checklist¶
- Docker deploy with
/configand shared/mnt(or equivalent). - First run — providers, WebDAV, API key.
- Pick import strategy:
- Plex → symlinks + rclone mount
- Emby/Jellyfin → STRM + Base URL
- Connect Radarr/Sonarr as SAB client + register instances in NzbDAV.
- Enable Repairs with Library Directory.
- Optional: Watchtower, indexer profiles, backups.
