Hi,
You need to set up the folder paths within the docker side and the application side in order to do this properly.
Luckily there's a set of guides that describes exactly what you need: https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Synology/
Read this guide and the other pages to get a full idea of the setup required.
TraSH Guides is the best. Can’t recommend it enough
Great, thank you. I will spend some time and go through this.
Good luck, don't be afraid to ask questions. It's a lot to take in the first time you go through it all, especially if you're not familiar with Docker and the concepts of containerisation but once you crack it, it's seamless.
Since I was already set up with docker I didn't want to start from scratch using compose. I went through the guide and set up my folder structure and set my volumes to the exact same variables he did. I've followed some other peoples suggestions too and I have got it to work but now radarr is copying my files instead of hardlinking even though it is set to hardlink in the settings.
Does RADAR's logs say anything around the file copy about why it couldn't hardlink?
Nope, I'm not seeing anything in the logs referring to the copying/hardlinking
Agree just use trash guides, they even have a script for synology to auto setup.
