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 :)

yeah i mean you can download/upload binary files to the seefbox and run them

[-] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, but you need the dependencies and libraries, and a way to manage them. There are few things that are just a standalone file.

[-] luckyboy@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

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.
