How to correctly add another storage?

Post by labs »

Hi all, long story short, I've had a yams install running fine until the point I started to mess around to add a second drive to the server. After many failed tries I decided to nuke it all and start from zero.

Now I have another good install, running without warns.

The server is installed in the 500gb internal drive, which I want to use it just for Movies. I used the standard media path for that, /srv/media/..., Ive set up radarr and jellyfin using that path but I did not set Sonarr and Jellifin/series yet.

The other drive, of 1tb, also internal, is the one I would like to use to store the series, is that possible?

I've created a mount point for it, /mnt/series, and set permissions so it should be good to go.

Now, the question. To add this path to jellyfin, and to sonarr, do I just need to edit /opt/yams/docker-compose.yaml and add another

Code: Select all

/mnt/series:/media/series

to the volume bit of jellyfin, sonarr in the docker-compose.yaml file?

TIA

Edit:
Yes, it apparently worked. I am not sure it did not work the 1st time round. I set it up the same way, but when picking the root folder in sonarr, and openeing the /mnt/series it would point me to the /srv/media of the other drive. I must have done something wrong in the previous install.

Edit2: It defo worked.

For the ones with the same doubt, just mount your storage via fstab, and give the right permissions to that folder using

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /your/folder
