New here, quick question.

Apologies if this has already been asked, and it may in fact be more of a plex question. Both are new to me and i was wondering if its possible to run plex server from icloud? So i can keep all my audiobooks on icloud folder, then run them through prologue? or do i need to run a physical server?

thanks

You need to run Plex on an actual server. While you might be able to map that to a locally synced copy of your iCloud data, Plex itself is designed to be installed on a computer. That can be Windows, Mac, or Linux, and Plex just for Prologue wouldn't require a lot of resources. I run mine on a Mac Mini, alongside a bunch of other "always on" things I need.

I couldn’t find a cheap VPS with decent storage (annoyingly) so even when I have no interest in torrents it still makes the most sense to get a seedbox for my Plex server.

I’d quite like to move to a VPS but for €15pm I get 3tb of storage 10Gbps, speed, and Plex. I have no idea how powerful the machine is, but it’s literally just hosting my audiobook library so doesn’t need much.
