I currently use a Hetzner VPS in conjunction with a Hetzner storage box. Generally I’m very happy with this setup, but I recently had a VPN failure which resulted in a very stern email from Hetzner. What I would like to do is keep the storage box, but move my torrenting/jellyfin server to a different company. I’m worried about them deleting my ~12TB of media if I slip up again!
Basically I want a comparable value to Hetzner, with a US based server. Who’s got recs?
Ultraseedbox is a reliable and affordable option that I have used for years across a variety of their offered plans. I’ve always been happy with it:
I also recommend using Gluetun as a docker container, and then setting that as your network for a qbittorrent container. It is really easy to set up with a built in kill switch, so no more leaks from a disconnect.
Thanks, I will look into it. I’ve never successfully gotten my head around docker though. I currently use Swizzin community edition.
I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.
Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.
I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.
