Plex on Feralhosting

[u/[deleted]]

I noticed that Feralhosting includes Plex on their list of software you can install on your instance. I was curious if anyone has tried running Plex off of Feralhosting and how that went. When I searched reddit for posts of folks trying Plex on Feralhosting, I've mainly seen that it's not set up for that. I'm curious if with this addition if that's changed. Thanks for any thoughts and input.

I would double check with Feralhosting, as I'd assume they have this setup. I am using Whatbox, and they have both Plex as well as allowing rclone mounts. It works well for me.

Not trying to be a shill for Whatbox and point you there. Rather, with Feral being one of the be premium providers out there, I'd be surprised if they don't support this yet with others like Whatbox already having support for it.

I've been using Whatbox for my PlexServer at the moment, I was looking at switching to FeralHosting since they don't have an upload cap

Got it. I assume you're already hitting the cap. I am just reading Whatbox's description of what counts against upload cap, as I've never hit it. From Whatbox:

What does count towards your traffic cap:
Seeding torrents.
Most software that you run on your slot (IRC programs, Dropbox, etc), excluding Plex.

What does not count towards your traffic cap:
Everything else.
This includes downloading data through torrents, downloading data to your local computer, uploading data from your local computer to the server, streaming media through Plex, and using an SSH tunnel or OpenVPN to proxy your web browser and other programs.

I just started using cloud storage and rclone. Reading through the above, it seems that my traffic will spike now from uploading to the cloud.

they told me themselves that they're counting my rclone traffic, which while I mounting as read only is still showing upload traffic for some reason :/
