BUT, I’m not sure how well it works… While rutorrent says port forwarding is working, and It seems to be from my tests… Checking randomly the only peers I see that connect to me also have ovpn IPs so I’m not sure if I’m actually accessible or not.
I selfhost everything I use, including the *arr stack. I do have a VPS with hetzner.com and they’re pretty good but I wouldn’t personally host torrent or *arr with them. If you want someone else to host I’d suggest doing the research and finding something that works for you. My only experience is 5+ years ago with dediseedbox.com so YMMV if you choose them. They do have a cheap-ish VPS.
I think Docker is the way to go either on a VPS or on your own box. If you like a webUI for it use https://www.portainer.io/.
If you do go with docker be very careful about what ports you expose, you can easily open up everything publicly so be sure to double check and bind almost everything to 127.0.0.1.
If you have any specific questions I’d be happy to help.
If you’re paying for a seedbox you can either get a vps (Linux VM) and do it yourself or just pay for the rutorrent web interface. I use to use dediseedbox.com awhile ago and had no complaints. My suggestion is to just have whatever provider host it so you don’t have to use docker or anything.
If you want to do it yourself, then docker is the way to go and you should probably get a VPN on top of that so your traffic is mixed with other people. A dedicated server or VPS means you get your own IP and it can be linked to you.
This is 100% my opinion too.
I’m annoyed that I supported them and got a lifetime account on sale. At the same time I’m happy that I can take my time testing and moving my family and friends over to something else.
Can you explain a bit more? Any resources I can read up on?
From what I’ve read, the keys rotate every 6 seconds so you’ll need to find a reliable, low latency source that will allow you access. Aside from that I haven’t found much in the way of required equipment or providers as everyone is talking about IPTV these days.
Isn’t IPTV shit for sports or really anything popular? I’ve read there’s a tonne of buffering and quality problems… I dont watch sports but I have family and friends looking for a solution and ask me because they’re on my Plex server.
Personally the *arr stack is perfect for what I do. When I want to watch something I’ll scroll through the recently added and pick something.
I don’t think I’ll ever sub to IPTV because of the community around it. I miss the days of setting up your own satellite dish and downloading the decryption keys.
This is insane, how is trump still in power?
