My original plan was to just let FreeNAS handle storage, and have my media server run Plex/Sab/Sonarr/et al. but I've realized it's not quite as simple as all that.
If Sonarr, Radarr & Sabnzbd are running on a separate machine, do I set up local destination folders, and then have files moved over to the NAS during post-processing?
Or is it better to have them download directly to folders on the NAS, which would avoid an unnecessary transfer over the local network -- but would require reliable server-side copying and more complex permissioning to let the programs from the media server enact the unpacking and post-processing of data already on the NAS.
Or is it better to have everything start and finish over on the FreeNAS server, and run Sonarr/Sabnzbd, et al. as plugins, which might be less complicated, but also might unnecessarily burden the NAS?
Does anybody else run this kind of split setup, and if so, how do you have it configured?
