17- :::caution Docker Folder Watcher
18- The Folder Watch feature uses ` inotify ` (a.k.a. ` fsnotify ` ) to identify
19- changes to the folder. A folder-poller is automatically started when run in
20- Docker because ` inotify ` is unreliable.

22- Watching folders in Docker will cause Unpackerr to constantly poll the
23- watched-folder for changes. Unpackerr cannot determine when a download is
24- finished downloading while running in Docker because ` inotify ` is not reliable.
25- Make sure to set the ` start_delay ` high enough to avoid beginning extractions
26- while files are still being downloaded.

34- Unpackerr uses a lot CPU, and tends not to work well when running on smaller systems like Synology NAS devices.
35- Running Unpackerr on a system with a large CPU is ideal to avoid system performance degradation.
