    1. Yeah I guess I have made it more complex. But what hard links allow me to achieve is to save disk space while still working on the file without changing the original one. Imagine I have to copy my files to sonarr, have a copy in my torrent directory and also a backup on an external disk… That’s alot of space ! This may be a simpler solution, but only If you have money to spare on disk space. Yes, it’s “cheap” when you have a bank account and money lying around, but that’s not the case for everyone :/. I think the ARR* stack works similarly and works with hard links !

    2. Oh… never heard of Terraform, will have a look, thanks for the pointer !

    Hard links are files…

    I guess so, but files are just links pointing to inodes ? :) Sorry If I’m wrong here, and please give me the proper knowledge If you are willing to share :)

    Edit: After some reading, I think Ansible seems a better fitting. Terraform is more for creating infrastructures while Ansible to manage them and configure them?
