How are you checking the size? Some tools will split file size based on the number of hard links. So a 10GB file may show as 5GB in folder A and the other 5GB in folder B.

Also, if you’re using Docker. Its crucial that your downloads and media directories are listed as a single volume. If it’s two volumes, it’ll copy rather than hard link.

Yeah, in self hosting MollySocket and my own Ntfy server. I’m in the process of moving it all to my NAS so I don’t have to leave my computer on all the time.

I really wish Signal would support it natively.

I’m using Molly with UnifiedPush for notifications and it works quite well.
