Description
Describe the bug
I like the idea of this tool, however the suggested paths of this tool are pretty poor. The biggest issue I see is that it's using non-hardlink-capable suggested paths instead of more optimal paths. Here's a link to TRaSH's hardlink guide for reference: https://trash-guides.info/File-and-Folder-Structure/How-to-set-up/Docker/
In an ideal setup, you should have two mounts, one for config and one for media. In radarr's default configuration, your tool spits out three:
- ${CONFIG_PATH}/radarr:/config
- ${DATA_PATH}/movies:/data/movies
- ${DATA_PATH}/downloads:/data/downloads
Having /data/movies as well as /data/downloads as two separate mounts makes them appear as two separate filesystems (even though on the host they're adjacent paths). Instead, the example should look like:
- ${CONFIG_PATH}/radarr:/config
- ${DATA_PATH}:/data
And then in your Radarr settings, you'd set a root folder at /data/movies. This will allow hardlinks, atomic moves, and much less headache for those of us who provide support for these apps.
Steps to reproduce
Generate a compose for *arr apps
Impact
This leads to poor paths which end up causing double the storage being used, slow moves, and general headache for users.
