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 :)
In my country you can have issues if you download copyrighted content over torrents. But you are pretty safe if you DDL. Which is very dumb but that’s the way it is.
Point is it depends on where you live and what the risks are for downloading stuff.
Because they can’t see what you’re downloading via direct download especially if it’s over HTTPS. On the other hand, it’s trivial to see everyone’s IP if they download the same torrent you are, then they just send letters to ISPs owning those IPs who then pass it on to you.

I guess it depends of where you live.
