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 currently have Pulsed Media seedbox, which has SSH access (no root) and docker, haven't tried something like plex/jelyfin so I can't tell how well it works.

  • You should google the name if you want to try them, negative things pops up.

  • Password authentication can't be turned off for SSH.

Thank you :) I had come across PM in my search but their docs seemed a bit sparse.

So does it have rootless docker? Are you able to run docker containers like transmission or radar?
