What's a cheap vps you recommend?
I use a cheap racknerd vps via low end box. $12/yr.
That's crazy cheap price. Does it really have enough bandwidth to stream jellyfin?
Most VPS are on 1Gbps connections, but even if it only has 100Mbps that's plenty.
Is there a data cap? I'm concerned like they only allow me to pass through like a TB or so of data passing through it within a month. If you have users watching your jellyfin server every day that can surpass your limit.
Yes generally around 1TB on cheap plans. That's a ton of data though for streaming media, if youre moving more than that getting a higher tier VPS would make sense.
Yes. (Depending on load) I run a server with 10 users, probably 2-3 active at any given time. Works fine.
I hop around a lot. I’ve used Akamai (fka linode), Vultr, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, and GCP Compute Engine. I wouldn’t recommend the last 2 anymore because fuck big tech. A lot of people will mention Oracle’s free tier, but I don’t trust anyone that looks like Larry Ellison to own a machine with a direct connection into my local network.
I resonate with you as well, so what kind of set up do you use now?
Oracle has a free tier where I run my Wireguard.
Linode has a $5/month option.
@TheRedSpade @pineapplelover Linode got acquired by Akamai and their service (or at least, *my* VPS) has really gone downhill over the past few years.
Look into Oracle cloud's Always Free tier of cloud instances. I have a few of those and they're decent for free.
