Maintenance

Database housekeeping, scheduled orphan cleanup, and one-off tools.

Headless ENV

Map config keys below to NZBDAV_CONFIG__... with the naming algorithm. Schedule times are minutes from midnight in container TZ (180 = 03:00). One-off maintenance tasks remain out of the ENV overlay.

Tasks (actions)

Task Purpose Caution
Clean Missing Payloads since 1.3.0 Remove mounts whose payload blob and legacy metadata are both absent, and request Arr replacements Permanent; dry run and /config backup required; never blocklists the release
Remove Orphaned Files Drop WebDAV files not linked from library Permanent; dry run available. If more than 90% appear unlinked, review the audit and use its 15-minute approval. Library Directory must be the organized library, not the rclone mount
Prune Completed History Remove completed SAB history rows History-only; mounts stay; unlinked mounts become eligible for orphan cleanup
Rename Windows-Invalid Paths Sanitize existing names Needs Windows-safe paths; backup + dry run
Convert STRM → Symlinks Strategy migration Needs library dir + rclone mount
Recreate STRM Files Refresh sidecars Needs STRM strategy + completed dir + base URL
Migrate blobs to blobstore Background optimization Usually automatic
Re-run Library Health Checks since 1.3.0 Fresh health-check pass over every video, audio, and archive file, including items still in SAB history Heavy Usenet STAT traffic on large libraries; runs in the background
Reset Health-Check Statistics Clear HC history Cannot undo
Reset Overview Statistics since 0.8.0 Clear overview metrics Cannot undo
