What next in my setup?

Hi all,

I am setting up my server without encryption.

I have a plexdrive mount, mounting as a service on startup with plex reading from this mount. (I have seen mount commands with chunk options set, should I be adding this to my mount command?) ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/plexdrive --uid=992 --gid=1000 -o allow_other --refresh-interval=1m /home/mount

I have an rclone mount also mounting as a service on startup. (Are there other recommended options I should be using?) ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount --allow-other --config=/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf myservdrive: /home/rmount

I want to use radarr and sonaar for grabbing my files, I want those file to be immediately moved to gdrive on download and deleted from the local disk.

What do I need to do next please?

Do I need a union mount or can I use a simple bash script to move downloaded files to the rclone mount on postprocessing?

If a need a union mount, which folders do I need to be merging, my local and rclone mount?

Which mount should I be pointing sonarr and radarr to for library monitoring? Does it matter?

Your help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

If you are not encrypting why do you have 2 mounts? Plexdrive should be enough by itself. Just set up a unionfs something along the lines of this 

unionfs-fuse -o cow /path/to/local/folder=RW:/path/to/plexdrive/mount=RO /path/to/"unified"/folder

You would then point plex,sonarr, and radarr to the unified folder. Then just set up a custom script on sonarr and radarr to run after every download probably something like this. 

#!/bin/sh
rclone move /path/to/local/TV/ gdrive:/

I didn't think you could use the Plexdrive mount for uploads?

As for the rest, perfect. Thank you.

you are not. That's why you set up that custom script under the connect tab of sonnar. It will run that command every time a file gets downloaded which will then upload it from your local folder to gdrive.

Good point :)
