I currently use a Hetzner VPS in conjunction with a Hetzner storage box. Generally I’m very happy with this setup, but I recently had a VPN failure which resulted in a very stern email from Hetzner. What I would like to do is keep the storage box, but move my torrenting/jellyfin server to a different company. I’m worried about them deleting my ~12TB of media if I slip up again!

Basically I want a comparable value to Hetzner, with a US based server. Who’s got recs?

    That’s cool. I definitely plan to try again sometime, as it sounds like it has some real advantages. In the past I tried using some projects like DockStarter.

      Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.
