I always wondered why hardlinks in radarr/ sonarr and qbittorrent didn’t work for me. I think the problem was that I mapped the directories as below:
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- ./downloads:/downloads
- ./movies:/movies
whereas I should’ve mapped them as:
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- ./media:/media
- ./media/downloads:/media/downloads
- ./media/movies:/media/movies
Now, how do I replace all the duplicate files in /downloads with the links?
What you should actually do is just mount /media.
That way qbit and radarr will see the folders as the same structure.
Not sure how to remove the duplicate files though
To expand upon that, I had something similar to the OP’s setup at one point, and I found things worked a lot better when the files could be moved on the same volume, rather than appearing as separate volumes (because they were mounted separately). I ended up re-engineering my whole setup for that and it’s much faster now.
As for duplicates… I assume this is so you can continue seeding after the file has been moved? I can’t think of anything that would fit the bill for that off the top of my head. Ideally, I think you’d want QBT to just start serving from the new location instead, though I admit hard links does sound like a solution that could work.
And after Googling, it seems like it already does hard links for torrents for this exact reason. I think if you just map /media (and drop the 2 maps you have after that) things will work like you want.
You can’t hard link across docker volumes. In the second example, you need to remove the /media/movies and /media/downloads volumes, only keep /media.
After fixing this, only future downloads will be hard links. Use a deduplication tool like jdupes to create hard links for the already downloaded files.
Thank you!
What is radaar?? Never heard about it??

Killing GitHub through attrition
Once migration is complete, I’ll be locking the GitHub repos as read-only forever, though I am inclined to delete them outright since the only power people have over giant corporations is no longer feeding them your time, money, content, and other resources. That’s why I destroyed my several years of contributions to Reddit. It’s more convenient to use the offerings of these companies, but using them results in horrible abuses of the users and stifling of freedoms in the long run.
Refreshing 🥰
