Setup Guide since 1.3.0¶

InfiniDysk opens Setup Guide after the first administrator signs in on a new installation. Existing installations continue to open on Overview after an upgrade. You can run the guide at any time from the main navigation.

The guide is worth completing even on a long-running installation: it reviews best-practice configuration such as pairing Symlinks with rclone VFS read-ahead rather than Segment Cache, and stages only the settings you approve.

The guide stages changes until Review and apply. Skip applies nothing, and a validation failure does not save a partial configuration. Settings controlled by NZBDAV_CONFIG__... remain read-only and name the environment variable to change.

Library type¶

Choose the playback shape used for future imports:

Changing strategy does not convert existing imports. Review the warning before applying, then use the appropriate Maintenance tool or a deliberate migration plan for existing files.

Segment Cache is analogous in purpose to rclone VFS caching for direct WebDAV playback, but it is not the same read-ahead mechanism. Enabling or disabling it requires an InfiniDysk restart.

Symlink playback and rclone¶

The guide shows the recommended bounded sidecar flags, including --vfs-cache-mode=full, --buffer-size=0, a 50G cache cap, and --vfs-read-ahead=512M. Rclone's defaults control read chunking. It also walks through rclone RC notifications. The wizard proposes RC notifications on whenever symlinks are selected, even if they are currently disabled; turn the toggle off explicitly if you do not want them. A value pinned by NZBDAV_CONFIG__RCLONE__RC_ENABLED is left unchanged.

--rc
--rc-addr=:5572
--rc-no-auth           # trusted isolated network only

Enter the matching RC host and credentials in InfiniDysk, then use Test. If rclone exposes VFS statistics, the result includes its cache mode and read-ahead. A failed or unavailable connection warns but does not block setup; manually confirm the sidecar flags before continuing.

For a separate rclone sidecar, bind :5572 so the InfiniDysk container can reach it. 127.0.0.1:5572 is valid only when both processes share a network namespace. On a network that is not isolated and trusted, replace --rc-no-auth with --rc-user and --rc-pass and enter those credentials in the guide.

See Mounting WebDAV for the complete Compose example.

Content ingestion¶

Select one or more methods:

• Arr apps — register Radarr or Sonarr with InfiniDysk, test each connection, and follow the displayed SABnzbd download-client values inside each Arr app.
• Built-in Search — finish configuring Indexers and Search Profiles afterward.
• Manual NZB — upload a smoke-test NZB from Queue after setup.

External connection tests are advisory because services may still be starting. Required paths and URLs must validate before the guide can be completed.

Backups and library health¶

The backup step can enable a daily schedule and set its run time and retention. With a PostgreSQL main database, this schedule protects only the local auxiliary SQLite stores; use PostgreSQL-native tooling for the main database.

Library Directory is the organized media root visible inside the InfiniDysk container, usually the parent of Radarr and Sonarr root folders. It must not be the rclone mount or completed-symlinks. You may defer it: health checks and PAR2 repair still run, while linked-library replacement remains limited.

Review and completion¶

Review lists current and proposed values without displaying secrets. It calls out managed settings, strategy changes, deferred fields, and restart requirements. After applying, follow the shown next steps to restart if needed, test Arr download clients, or upload a small NZB.
