A-Train (Deprecated)¶

⚠️ DEPRECATED - Cloud Storage Not Supported

A-Train was a Google Drive integration component that is no longer supported in HomelabARR CE's NAS-focused architecture. HomelabARR CE has transitioned from cloud storage to local NAS solutions for better performance and reliability.

Alternative Solutions for Local NAS¶

Instead of cloud-based file monitoring, HomelabARR CE now uses local filesystem integration:

1. Native Filesystem Monitoring¶

• Inotify triggers for real-time local file system changes
• Direct integration with download clients (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr)
• No API rate limits or external dependencies

2. Local Storage Benefits¶

• Instant file access - No download delays
• Better performance - Local I/O is faster than cloud transfers
• Unlimited capacity - Scale with your NAS hardware
• Complete privacy - Files never leave your infrastructure

3. Migration Path¶

If you previously used A-Train with Google Drive:

1. Download media files from Google Drive to your local NAS
2. Configure mount system for your NAS storage (UnRAID/TrueNAS)
3. Update media library paths in Plex/Jellyfin
4. Set up local backup strategies with Restic or Duplicati

4. Modern Autoscan Configuration¶

For local NAS setups, configure Autoscan with:

triggers:
  # Direct integration with download clients
  sonarr:
    - name: sonarr
      priority: 2
      rewrite:
        - from: /downloads/
          to: /mnt/nas/downloads/
        - from: /tv/
          to: /mnt/nas/media/tv/

  radarr:
    - name: radarr  
      priority: 2
      rewrite:
        - from: /downloads/
          to: /mnt/nas/downloads/
        - from: /movies/
          to: /mnt/nas/media/movies/

This eliminates the need for external cloud monitoring while providing superior performance.
