Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow (sh.itjust.works)

So I've got jellyfin all set up, but I'm having some issues with files downloading from qbittorrent and Knowing exactly how and when they get moved over, either the sonar or jellyfin repository, whichever is the final destination. This is important because my torrenting drive is separate from my media drive. I have noticed some shows and files staying on my torrenting drive while others go over to the media drive. And I'm and to figure out where the issue might be that's causing this, I think I need a refresher on exactly how and when these files are supposed to be moved over. Since I can't find any sort of documentation inside the apps.

Can anybody explain this to me like super simply? I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out. Thanks y'all!

literally was going through the exact same thoughts as you a couple a weeks ago, tried so many different configurations but the one i found that worked was actually kinda simple

basically they way i did was to run a gluetun docker container, and then in the environment variables pass in the the fact i wanted this to use the WireGuard VPN manager, and then i passed in my Proton VPN wireguard api key (you’ll need a subscription for this)

then once that gluetun container is up and running, you literally just add “network_mode: service:gluetun” to any other containers that you want to use this VPN

can you can even test its working by sending a curl command to an ip checking site from within those containers connected to gluetun

and then also try shutting down that gluetun vpn, and see if you other services (e.g. qbitorrent, still work)
