Is this the place for help with setting up Sonarr/Radarr?

I was told this community might be able to help me....I’ve spent my entire day setting up sonarr/radarr on my Synology DS423+ NAS within docker. I got most of it figured out on my own but I’m stumped on how sonarr/radarr takes the files from my torrent client downloads folder and moves them to my media folder for plex/jellyfin to view.

I’ve followed this guide for how my folder structure is setup: https://wiki.servarr.com/docker-guide

Could someone point me in the direction of what I need to do so that when a file is finished downloading it automatically moves to my media folder?

I am able to get jellyfin/plex to work with the correct folders so they see my media when after it's been copied over by radarr.

I am certain radarr is copying and not hardlinking. Going to the properties of the torrents folder and the properties of my media folder is showing that each folder is using up the same amount of space. Unless this is how it's shown when hardlinking is being used? I don't know how to check my disk space in anything but terabytes so it's hard to say how much space is being used that way when a file I download is only 1GB.

No offense, but Im certain it is hardlinking and not copying 😂 That is exactly how hardlinking works. Both files are 1GB and together also 1GB. If you want to stop seeding - delete in torrent folder, if you want to remove it from jellyfin - delete in media folder, if you want to remove it completely - delete both.

And you can remove them with radarr/qbit, no need to browse the folders

No offense taken, this is all new to me so I’m just trying to understand. If this is how the hardlinking works then I’m all set, thanks!
