Step 2 — Mount your debrid storage

Before cli_debrid can manage your library, your debrid cloud storage needs to be mounted as a local folder. Your media server (Plex/Jellyfin) reads from this folder as if it were a regular hard drive.

Two tools handle this:

Tool Debrid support Notes
Zurg + rclone Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Debrid-Link Most popular, well-tested
Decypharr Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Torbox, Premiumize Newer, all-in-one alternative

Choose one. Zurg is recommended for Real-Debrid users.

Option A — Zurg + rclone

Zurg exposes your debrid library as a WebDAV server. rclone mounts it as a local filesystem.

Full setup guide: Zurg + rclone

After setup you will have a folder like /mnt/zurg (or /mnt/user/zurg on Unraid) containing your debrid files organised as:

/mnt/zurg/
  __all__/          ← all files
  movies/           ← Zurg-categorised movies
  shows/            ← Zurg-categorised shows

Note the path — you'll need it in the next step.

Option B — Decypharr

Decypharr is an all-in-one debrid mount tool that also handles symlink management and supports multiple debrid providers.

Full setup guide: Decypharr

Verify the mount works

Before proceeding, confirm the mount is working by listing your mount path:

ls /mnt/zurg/__all__

ls /path/to/debrid

You should see your debrid files listed. If the folder is empty or the command fails, fix the mount before continuing.

Mount must be working before installing cli_debrid

cli_debrid needs to be able to read the mount path at startup. If the mount isn't working, cli_debrid won't be able to verify files exist.
