With Netflix and other streaming platforms increasing price, I finally decided to get a seedbox for my family members' needs with Plex/jellyfin.
My budget is 10-15 USD per month. I'm currently on the 11$ hostingby.design plan with 4TB storage and 9TB traffic, 10gbit connection. I've been mostly happy but,
- Their app selection feels small though I've found most of the mainstream stuff.
- I'm missing things like cross-seed, jellystat, jellyfin-vue, transmission and audiobookshelf.
- Not happy with how apps installed by the GitHub scripts are not available on HTTPS.
- Can't disable ssh password login for public key, which is making me really uncomfortable.
- Their wiki seems quite sparse.
The other options I'm thinking of are:
- 13$ HDD plan at seedhost.eu - 4TB/9TB but only 1gbps, downgrade in specs but seems to have more apps.
- 14$ plan at ultra.cc with 3TB/8TB but 20gps (which feels like an overkill honestly). Also a downgrade but their wiki/app support looks top notch.
I really wish there was a way I could manage docker containers on my own on a similar shared setup without paying for a dedicated vps but haven't found something like that so far.
Any advice regarding the other providers, experience or otherwise would be greatly appreciated :)
I was grandfathered in from seedbox.io days.
In your case I'd recommend asking support if they could configure it for you. But tbh wireguard is fine as well.
That's really cool :) Thank you. I will probably stick with wireguard.
