Can you share your experience installing apps and so on, on seedhost? Thank you :)
Seedhost.eu supports these "addons" out of the box:
and you have SSH access, so you can actually do a lot more stuff, but no root access.
I mainly used it for torrenting and the speed was always awesome. Great for seeding of course.
If you get a bigger one it might be worth running plex on it, but on smaller shared instances plex encoding performance can be bad, also depending on the size of your video files.
Overall i think it has a great cost/benefit.
Thank you :) This is quite helpful. With SSH but without root, are you able to install many things?
I've found Plex to be okay on the shared one because it's hardly being used most of the time, at least on hbd.
I'm really tempted to try out seedhost for a month :)
yeah i mean you can download/upload binary files to the seefbox and run them
Sure, but you need the dependencies and libraries, and a way to manage them. There are few things that are just a standalone file.
yes if you need any non standard libs it wont work. but stand-alone binary files can be executed
I was sad when I couldn't get ranger to work. I'm fine with just having vi and screen instead of vim and tmux, but I truly miss ranger.
i used gokcehan/lf and if i remember correctly it worked (as a compiled stand-alone binary).
Also mounting the seedbox with sshfs is super useful for me.
This is awesome :) I'm going to try this tomorrow.
I click install. No setup really
