## What it is
Auto_Symlink is a self-hosted automation tool that monitors directories mounted from cloud drives via CloudDrive2/Alist and creates/updates symlinks and .strm files for media servers like Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex. It also copies metadata, cleans invalid links and folders, notifies media servers of new content, and offers a web UI for configuration and log viewing.

## Use cases
- create symlinks for emby from clouddrive2 mounted cloud drive
- generate strm files for jellyfin from alist
- reduce cloud drive access during media library scraping
- automatically notify plex when new videos appear
- clean up broken symlinks and empty folders in media library
- auto transfer files from one folder to another and delete source
- generate emby media library cover images

## When to choose
- you mount cloud storage with CloudDrive2 or Alist and serve media through Emby/Jellyfin/Plex
- you want faster library scans with fewer hits to the cloud drive
- you need automatic symlink/strm upkeep and cleanup of stale links

## When to avoid
- your media is stored entirely on local disks with no cloud mount
- you need Windows-compatible symlinks for playback (links use absolute Linux paths)
- you want a fully GUI-native desktop application rather than a Docker/Python service
