Yes. Just to add, not everything hard links for me due to files being seeded (and locked) straight after it’s done downloading, so later I go back and fix the bulk by entering the download folder and typing:
To list files that weren’t hard linked:
find . -links 1 -type f | grep ".mp4$\|.mkv$" | sort > ../fixthese.txt
And going through the list and either reimporting manually via *arr>Wanted>Import manually, or omitting certain shows once you’re certain all the unlinked are unwanted extras with:
find . -links 1 -type f | grep ".mp4$\|.mkv$" | grep -vE "./(Band.Of.Brothers|The Boys|Westworld|.*\] (Attack On Titan|JoJo)|.*ample.mkv$)" | sort > ../fixthese.txt

Did you set the paths for your mounted folders in the docker appropriately? If you have the download folder and the media library mounted as distinct shares in the docker template it can break the links. I had to put the download and media library folders in the same mounted directory to make my links work. I had /mnt/user/media/tv mounted to /tv And /mnt/user/media/downloads mounted to /downloads and had to change to so I just had /Mnt/user/media mounted to /media, with the download and media library folders both existing as subdirectories inside of /media to make them link properly. There is a faq on the sonarr reddit about this exact issue and it’s a common failure point.
