Mounting WebDAV¶

Symlink imports need the InfiniDysk WebDAV tree on the host filesystem. Use rclone (sidecar or host mount).

The guided Setup Guide shows these sidecar flags, configures RC notifications, tests the connection, and disables InfiniDysk Segment Cache for Symlink/Plex libraries.

Prepare the mount point¶

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/remote/nzbdav
sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) /mnt/remote/nzbdav

Rclone config¶

Obscure the WebDAV password:

docker run --rm -it rclone/rclone obscure "<your-webdav-password>"

rclone.conf:

[nzbdav]
type = webdav
url = http://nzbdav:8080/
vendor = other
user = your-webdav-user
pass = your-obscured-password

The rclone sidecar is a backend service and shares the Compose network with InfiniDysk. Point it directly at the backend on port 8080. Sending WebDAV traffic through the frontend on port 3000 adds proxy overhead and reduces streaming performance. Use the frontend URL only when an rclone client cannot access the backend service over the network. Do not publish backend port 8080 to an untrusted network; browser and admin traffic should continue to use port 3000.

chmod 600 rclone.conf

Frontend proxy warning since 1.3.0¶

If the frontend detects an rclone client on port 3000, it emits an operator warning at most once every 30 minutes and shows a non-dismissible warning in the admin UI. Continued proxied traffic keeps the warning active. After rclone is moved to port 8080, the warning clears once the 30-minute observation window expires. An open admin tab refreshes this status once per minute.

Sidecar Compose service¶

  nzbdav_rclone:
    image: rclone/rclone:latest
    container_name: nzbdav_rclone
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      TZ: America/New_York
    volumes:
      - /mnt:/mnt:rshared
      - ./rclone.conf:/config/rclone/rclone.conf:ro
      - ./rclone-cache:/cache
    cap_add:
      - SYS_ADMIN
    security_opt:
      - apparmor:unconfined
    devices:
      - /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse:rwm
    depends_on:
      nzbdav:
        condition: service_healthy
        restart: true
    command: >
      mount nzbdav: /mnt/remote/nzbdav
        --cache-dir=/cache
        --uid=1000
        --gid=1000
        --allow-other
        --links
        --use-cookies
        --vfs-cache-mode=full
        --vfs-cache-max-size=20G
        --vfs-cache-max-age=24h
        --buffer-size=0M
        --vfs-read-ahead=512M
        --dir-cache-time=20s

docker compose up -d nzbdav_rclone
ls -la /mnt/remote/nzbdav
# Expect: .ids, completed-symlinks, content, nzbs

Flag cheat sheet¶

Optional RC notifications¶

Append to the mount command:

        --rc
        --rc-addr=:5572
        --rc-user=rclone
        --rc-pass=your-rc-password

Then Settings → Rclone Server: enable notifications, host http://nzbdav_rclone:5572, matching credentials. Raise --dir-cache-time once RC works.
