From df81d475ef9b097bf00700153ff4b910b28c1f77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cal Corum Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 16:20:27 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] CLAUDE: Update Tdarr documentation with file transfer optimizations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Document hybrid storage strategy for server (local DB/configs, network backups) - Add production unmapped node configuration with NVMe cache optimization - Document Dockerβ†’Podman migration benefits and GPU improvements - Update cache paths to reflect actual NVMe location (/mnt/NV2/tdarr-cache) - Add gaming-aware scheduler and enhanced monitoring system documentation - Update configuration file paths to current production locations - Document 100x database performance improvement with local storage πŸ€– Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- patterns/docker/distributed-transcoding.md | 164 +++++++++++++++++---- reference/docker/tdarr-troubleshooting.md | 15 +- 2 files changed, 146 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/patterns/docker/distributed-transcoding.md b/patterns/docker/distributed-transcoding.md index 824b721..1a1e74b 100644 --- a/patterns/docker/distributed-transcoding.md +++ b/patterns/docker/distributed-transcoding.md @@ -27,64 +27,139 @@ Tdarr distributed transcoding with unmapped nodes provides optimal performance f ## Configuration Templates -### Server Configuration +### Server Configuration (Optimized) ```yaml -# docker-compose.yml +# docker-compose.yml -
