Hetzner is ran on a bunch of duct taped together desktops PCs (not even joking here) by incompetent morons. The savings are not worth the headache of their terrible service. I say that as someone who has spent thousands on VPSs from them in the past for my company

Yes, but the OP went 3 months without it and then messed up during setup

About a third of it is friends of mine, the rest is family and extended family

I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all

Sadly there is no alternative that is even remotely as capable

I prefer micro
