I just have my downloader trigger a scan at completion.

I have a few proxmox clusters going, combining it all wouldn’t be practical. This way my servers (tiny/mini/micros I’ve repurposed) stay small with decent sized ssd’s, big storage in 2 NAS’s, and a third for backups.

My NASs are purely NAS, I prefer a Debian server for… Pretty much everything. But my storage only does storage, I keep those separate (even for an old PC acting as a NAS).

No matter what goes down, I can bring it back up, even with a hardware failure.
