@HGWLL Thanks for the guide!

Following yours as well as the source guides (which I had found first) I have my setup working - mostly. I've had some issues with automation, but I think they stem from other issues.

I have my seedbox set up how I need. Not exactly a typical setup, but it is working. Because I'm using Virtualmin for my personal hosting I had to do some work arounds. I used https://github.com/xombiemp/ultimate-torrent-setup/wiki as a template because I liked how it worked when I did everything locally.

I'm using Emby on my local media server (still have 20TB of media on it that I will replace in the cloud) because I prefer how it integrates into Kodi.

My problems are in this area:
Sorting media and uploading to ACD

Here is my folder set up for reference:
/seedbox/.acd (acd encrypted)
/seedbox/acd (acd plain view)
/seedbox/.local/ (encrypted local)
/seedbox/Media (unionfs-fuse mount of /seedbox/acd/Media and /seedbox/local/Media)
/seedbox/local (local plain view)
/seedbox/torrents/* (unencrypted folders for rtorrent to download to)


I've tried this using 3 methods - both manually with some automation attempts.
First was having Sonarr and Couchpotato rename and sort in an encryped folder on the seedbox. The sorting and renaming worked well. Uploading it to ACD manually worked ok as I would make sure there was nothing moving around before I started the process.

2nd method was almost the same as above but instead of using /seedbox/local to do the work I was using /seedbox/Media so Sonarr could see the library after files were uploaded and deleted.

Both these methods were problematic on automation. Partial files were being uploaded. acdcli was uploading everything instead of the specific file (which I will look at refining in the inotify-tools scripting). Trying to use the script on makeshift.ninja as a guide was problematic in uploading a single file with encryption.

3rd was a little more complex.
Torrents would download then copy to a folder on the encryped local - /seedbox/local/tv
Would upload to /seedbox/acd/tv (acdcli and the encrypted mounts, of course)
Sonarr is watching /seedbox/acd/tv and sorting to /seedbox/acd/Media/TV Shows/ which it is also looking at for the library.
Sonarr seems to not like this setup either. It starts trying to rename and move files before they are uploaded (somewhat expected!) which ends up with corrupted data.

Is there a 4th method I am missing or would fine tuning one of these methods work best? From what I can understand from what is happening I should be using some version of the first 2 methods with some fine tuning on the scripts.

Any suggestions?
