Unraid, Qbittorrent and Filebot - Where to start?

Post by mkza »

Hi,

I have an Unraid server, running Qbittorrent and Filebot and I want to remove a section of a filename after it's downloaded and before it's imported into Sonarr.

I have no clue where to start trying to figure this out. I'm not a linux expert. I just know there's an AMC script but not sure where to locate the filebot application on Unraid.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

:idea: In the context of an Unraid server, when you run "apps" like qBT / FileBot / Sonarr you are effectively talking about running a docker container for each of these "apps" which means you are effectively orchestrating a small homelab with multiple machines / applications talking to each other over the network, and that would definitely require you to be somewhat tech-savvy, and even then it might be tricky since none of these application is explicitly designed for this kind of co-operative use case.

:arrow: That said, you might be able to keep things simple by having a simple folder-based process. qBT moves completed files to some folder. FileBot watches this folder and moves / renames new files into some other folder. Sonarr watches this other folder for its input. And so on.
