seedbox_sync.py

# rsync files from a seedbox to a local machine, exactly once, over SSH.
#
# Why?
#  *arr requires that any Remote Path Mappings have a local path reflecting its contents. This can be done with NFS or SSHFS, but those are difficult to set up in containers, and get wonky when the remote server reboots.
#  rsync over SSH + cron doesn't care if the remote machine reboots, and easily runs in a container.

# How?
#  Usage: sonarr_sync.py my-seedbox /seedbox/path/to/data /local/working /local/metadata /local/data
#  - Get all file names in my-seedbox:/seedbox/path/to/data
#  - Get all previously processed file names in /local/metadata
#  - Diff the above to get newly added files
#  - For each new file:
#    - Copy file from my-seedbox to /local/working (used in case of transfer failure)
#    - Add file name to /local/metadata
#    - Move file to /local/data
