Repair Worker

The Repair Worker is a powerful feature that helps maintain the health of your media library by scanning for and fixing issues with files.

What It Does

The Repair Worker performs the following tasks:

• Searches for broken symlinks or file references
• Identifies missing files in your library
• Locates deleted or unreadable files
• Automatically repairs issues when possible

Configuration

To enable and configure the Repair Worker, add the following to your config.json:

"repair": {
  "enabled": true,
  "interval": "12h",
  "run_on_start": false,
  "use_webdav": false,
  "zurg_url": "http://localhost:9999",
  "auto_process": true
}

Configuration Options

• enabled: Set to true to enable the Repair Worker.
• interval: The time interval for the Repair Worker to run (e.g., 12h, 1d).
• run_on_start: If set to true, the Repair Worker will run immediately after Decypharr starts.
• use_webdav: If set to true, the Repair Worker will use WebDAV for file operations.
• zurg_url: The URL for the Zurg service (if using).
• auto_process: If set to true, the Repair Worker will automatically process files that it finds issues with.

Performance Tips

• For users of the WebDAV server, enable use_webdav for exponentially faster repair processes
• If using Zurg, set the zurg_url parameter to greatly improve repair speed
