IMPORTANT: On Sunday 24th May 2020 the 'tdarr' container will be replaced with the 'tdarr_aio' container as the tdarr container does not provide much benefit but makes things increasingly difficult as Tdarr development progresses. It's also confusing for new users to have a selection of containers. After 24th May 2020, both the tdarr and tdarr_aio containers will be the SAME but all documentation will direct new users to download the new 'tdarr' container. Existing tdarr_aio users can continue using that container (tdarr_aio) and will receive updates. Current 'tdarr' container users will need to create a Tdarr backup (on the 'Backups' tab) and then restore the backup once they've set up the new 'tdarr' container on/after 24th May 2020.

In summary: Pre 24th May 2020: tdarr - Alpine image with MongoDB needed separately tdarr_aio - all-in-one Ubuntu image with MongoDB inside and hardware transcoding

Post 24th May 2020: tdarr - all-in-one Ubuntu image with MongoDB inside and hardware transcoding tdarr_aio - all-in-one Ubuntu image with MongoDB inside and hardware transcoding
