Maybe check out spaceinvaderone’s videos on YouTube, they are the 101 Bible of getting started with Unraid.

One of the first things you’ll want to do is get the community apps plugin installed.

Just be aware that SI1’s setup isn’t great and it’s better to use Trash’s guide. The main idea being that downloads and media should be on the same share.

Thank you

Got a link to what video you’re referring to? Mostly just curious, I’ve been using unraid for 2 years and only heard of SpaceInvaderOne

The thing he does wrong is set up separate shares for downloads and media. These should instead be directories in a share called data (or whatever you choose to call it). That way when NZBGet moves the file from downloads to media, it just updates the file system to change the directory. The files stay on the same physical sectors of the drive. If they are in different shares, NZBGet needs to copy the file which can take extra time, wear and tear on the drives, and energy. It’s an unnecessary and expensive step due to a misconfiguration.

Best practice is to pass through the data directory to all your containers (and remove the movies and tv shows directories in the container since they’re included in data) and pass everything through there. It’ll work 1000x better.

But don’t take my word for it. Use trash’s guide for this.
