## File Transfer Optimizations
### Hybrid Storage Strategy (Server)
The server uses a hybrid approach balancing performance and reliability:
```bash
# Local storage (SSD/NVMe) - High Performance Operations
./tdarr/server:/app/server # Database - frequent read/write
./tdarr/configs:/app/configs # Config files - startup performance
./tdarr/logs:/app/logs # Log files - continuous writing
# Network storage (NAS) - Persistence & Backup
/mnt/truenas-share/tdarr/tdarr-server/Backups:/app/server/Tdarr/Backups # Infrequent access
```
**Benefits:**
- **Database performance**: Local SQLite operations (100x faster than network)
- **Log performance**: Eliminates network I/O bottleneck for continuous logging
- **Reliability**: Critical backups stored on redundant NAS storage
- **Config speed**: Fast server startup with local configuration files
### Container Platform Migration: Docker → Podman
**Advantages of Podman for Tdarr:**
```bash
# Enhanced GPU support
--gpus all # Improved NVIDIA integration
-e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all # Full GPU access
-e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all # All GPU visibility
# Better resource management
--restart unless-stopped # Smarter restart policies
# Rootless containers (when needed) # Enhanced security
```
**Migration Benefits:**
- **GPU reliability**: Better NVIDIA container integration
- **Resource isolation**: Improved container resource management
- **System integration**: Better integration with systemd and cgroups
- **Performance**: Reduced overhead compared to Docker daemon
## Performance Optimization
### Cache Storage Strategy
### Cache Storage Strategy (Updated)
```bash
# Optimal cache storage hierarchy
/mnt/nvme/tdarr-cache/ # NVMe SSD (fastest)
# Production cache storage hierarchy (NVMe optimized)
/mnt/NV2/tdarr-cache/ # NVMe SSD (3-7GB/s) - PRODUCTION
├── tdarr-workDir-{jobId}/ # Active transcoding
├── download/ # Source file staging
└── upload/ # Result file staging
├── download/ # Source file staging (API downloads)
└── upload/ # Result file staging (API uploads)
# Alternative: RAM disk for ultra-performance (limited size)
/dev/shm/tdarr-cache/ # RAM disk (fastest, volatile)
# Alternative configurations:
/dev/shm/tdarr-cache/ # RAM disk (fastest, volatile, limited size)
/mnt/truenas-share/tdarr/tdarr-cache/ # Network cache (mapped nodes only)
# Avoid: Network mounted cache (slowest)
/mnt/nas/tdarr-cache/ # Network storage (not recommended)
# Performance comparison:
# NVMe cache: 3-7GB/s (unmapped nodes - RECOMMENDED)
# Network cache: 100MB/s (mapped nodes - legacy)
# RAM cache: 10GB/s+ (limited by available RAM)

## Production Enhancements
### Gaming-Aware Scheduler
For GPU nodes that serve dual purposes (gaming + transcoding):
```bash
# Automated scheduler with gaming detection
scripts/tdarr/tdarr-schedule-manager.sh install
# Configure time windows (example: night-only transcoding)
scripts/tdarr/tdarr-schedule-manager.sh preset night-only # 10PM-7AM only
```
**Features:**
- **Automatic GPU conflict prevention**: Detects Steam, gaming processes, GPU >15% usage
- **Configurable time windows**: `"22-07:daily"` (10PM-7AM), `"09-17:1-5"` (work hours)
- **Real-time monitoring**: 1-minute cron checks with instant gaming response
- **Automated cleanup**: Removes abandoned temp directories every 6 hours
- **Zero-intervention operation**: Stops/starts Tdarr automatically based on rules
**Benefits:**
- **Gaming priority**: Never interferes with gaming sessions
- **Resource optimization**: Maximizes transcoding during off-hours
- **System stability**: Prevents GPU contention and system slowdowns
- **Maintenance-free**: Handles cleanup and scheduling without user intervention
### Enhanced Monitoring System
**Script**: `scripts/monitoring/tdarr-timeout-monitor.sh`
- **Staging timeout detection**: Monitors for download failures and cleanup issues
- **Discord notifications**: Professional alerts with user pings for critical issues
- **Automatic recovery**: Cleans up stuck work directories and partial downloads
- **Log management**: Timestamped logs with automatic rotation
