inkubux/filebot-inotifywatch repository overview

⁠This image wraps filebot into inotify and watch a folder /watch.

⁠How does it work:

The image will listen for single file with inotify on a /watch folder. and then proceed to run filebot on a separate /downloads folder.

Why a separate folder

Some downloads will contains many files so I wanted to only start the script once.

⁠Volumes:

• /watch: in this path inotify will wait for any text file and will execute filebot on the /downloads folder.
• /downloads: This is where filebot will look for new content
• /media : This is where filebot will place the file
• /config : This is where filebot will place the his config files file.
  • amc-excludes.txt
  • amc.log
  • scripts/filebot.sh : The filebot script that will be executed. It can be modified, is so it won't be replaced.
• scripts/postprocess.sh : A post process script, where you can add any script to be executed after filebot is done. (cleanup, move downloded file, etc.)

⁠Why:

I needed a way for many services [deluge, pyLoad, amule] to use filebot as a post process script but did not want to implement multiple filebot scripts.
