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 have a RD subscription. The problem is it’s hard to use on an iOS device which is most of the stuff my fiancee uses unfortunately. The second problem is that it’s one IP per user, so each person who travels and uses their internet will need an account which quickly adds up.
I have RD setup on Android TV for my parents which has been stellar so far.
Let me check out the ToS of AD. Thanks for the heads up. On RD if I log into my partner’s account who lives in a different place, she gets logged out and vice versa.

Ok.
I don’t know much about the differences between RD and AD but I don’t think AD is really enforcing the IP limitations. Or maybe only on streaming.
I have shared “debrided” links to a friend a few days ago and it didn’t seem to be an issue.
