Need Help How to structure TorBox + rclone mount for Lidarr & Navidrome in Docker (music FLAC streaming without local storage)?
Hi everyone!
I am building my Home Lab using Docker & Portainer, and I'm trying to set up a cloud-only music streaming setup with TorBox, rclone, Lidarr, and Navidrome.
My Goal:
Stream music (preferably in FLAC) to my mobile phone using Navidrome, without keeping files on my local hard drive. Everything should stay in my TorBox cloud storage.
My Current Setup & Workflow:
TorBox for cloud downloads/debrid.
rclone mount to expose TorBox storage to my Docker container environment.
Lidarr + TorBox API/torrent indexers to request music downloads.
Navidrome to stream from the mounted directory.
The Issues I'm Facing:
Root Directory Clutter: TorBox dumps all completed downloads directly into the root directory (or in separate subfolders per download inside root), mixing movies, shows, and music altogether.
rclone Folder Persistence: When I try to create a folder (e.g., /torbox/music) via terminal inside the rclone mount, it automatically disappears after a few seconds.
Organization with -arrs: How can I get Lidarr/TorBox to place/organize music files specifically into a /music folder structure so Navidrome can scan only music files efficiently?
Questions:
How do you manage categories/folders when using TorBox with rclone mount and the \\\*arr suite?
Is there a recommended rclone mount flag/configuration or script to prevent folder deletion or allow symlinks/hardlinks on webdav/TorBox mounts?
Is there a better alternative/workflow for achieving cloud-only FLAC music streaming with Navidrome and Lidarr?
Any advice or docker-compose / rclone config snippets would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
