slskd: expand config with directories, limits, and upload groups

jedmund requested to merge jedmund/slskd-config into main

Created by: jedmund

Summary

  • Sets explicit download and incomplete directories so files land in the correct volumes (/downloads, /downloads/.incomplete) rather than inside the config bind mount
  • Adds share filters to exclude junk files (.lnk, .ini, .db, Thumbs.db, .DS_Store)
  • Configures transfer history retention (7 days succeeded, 30 days failed)
  • Adds global daily (12 GB) and weekly (28 GB) upload caps
  • Introduces three upload groups with bandwidth controls:
    • generous — users sharing 500+ files: 5 slots, up to 20 files / 10 GB queued, priority 0
    • default — everyone else: 5 slots, up to 10 files / 4 GB queued, priority 1
    • leechers — users sharing fewer than 1 file/directory: 0 slots (blocked)
  • Caps upload speed at 6 MB/s per group (~5% of uplink) to preserve bandwidth

Test plan

  • Deployed to nuc-mini — stack restarted cleanly, no errors
  • Verify new downloads land in /downloads (not /opt/docker/media-acquisition/config/slskd/downloads)
  • Confirm leecher users are blocked in the slskd UI transfer queue
  • Monitor daily/weekly upload counters in slskd UI after a day of traffic
