I remember that once you wrote that you had a virtual server on hetzner that you are using for jellyfin , I was wondering if you could be kind enough to provide to me all the specs of that machine so i can check on hetzner how much would it cost for me .
My plan is to do the same to rent a vps so i can stream to jellyfin flawlessly, it would help also a lot of you could tell me what OS youre using on it as well.
yes, that is correct. it is a cheap vm and uses storagebox to store the files in a crypt.
why a cloud vm, instead of running jellyfin on local?
and what is the total size of all the media files?
depends on what you expect? transcoding can be a problem.
pricing for vm is per hour, so easy to create and delete vm on-the-fly.
pricing for storagebox per month.
hetzner has a feature named rescale, to increase or decrease the performance of the virtual machine.
and change from/to shared vcpu and dedicated vcpu.
so can spin up a single vm, test, rescale as needed, and then know how much it will cost you.
