i ask for help with one line of code in another post,
( i used iptables, i no need help with the script)
and i get A-Holes replys and comments from you.
Bitch a bit more about not knowing what you're doing, and then not offering to pay for people who were more than willing to assist, and somehow turning that into a new complaint.
this post was not a request for help, go troll somewhere eles.
will be no more reply to you, in this post or any other post, By class clown..
That's neat. Can you crawl up your own ass deep enough that you can't reach the keyboard anymore?
If you read what I quoted, you will noticed you never mention your home server nor router.
I deal with a lot of "new" people in different communities, environments etc.
I wear a few different hats and one of them is educator. I usually deal with two type of learners in this situation.
The first is the one who seeks guidance but tries on their own and reaches failure before asking for help. I give them hints, sometimes partial solutions, and it might be enough to get them to figure it out. Sometimes they want the solution but I understand they tried and failed so they earned it.
The second wants the solution to the problem before getting to the point. Sometimes they fake it. "I want the solution to compare", they did only 2 percent of the work and just want the easy way out.
When you are in this community talking about setting up a server there is a fair and reasonable expectation that you know enough security to lock it down. And a person who is at that level should be able to read documentation to setup Plex. Which is why you come off like the second one here.
No they are written for people who have a certain level of understanding of what they are getting into. That is why I made my first remark about getting hit with a DMCA request or server getting hacked.
You do type some of the right words, but let me give you a clear example here.
Wait a minute here you are installing everything in the command line but afterwards you type
Why would you have it any other way when you are installing via "command line" anyways.
The idea of a ssh tunnel shouldn't be foreign to you at all.
I just imagine if you had asked if anybody knew some newbie friendly tutorials that help you setup plex on a vps, you might have gotten a much friendlier response.
I never ask you or anyone for help setting up a plex server,
i asked "is the Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1385 8GB too slow for 4 users"
i posted a link to a Plex Install tutorial and others got pissed.
No you wanted a solution were it was brought down to a level that leads to this conversation you are having with everybody. You keep stating you know enough.
From what I read from your posts, you know enough to be dangerous.
to all that helped me with my question, i thank you,
have a mary christmas and a blessed new year.
Super confused by this page here: http://kodiserver.com/
For any one that is still on the green side of "tech know how"
I found a great Plex Install tutorial that's newbie friendly,
Very few sites say any thing about the SSH Tunnel:
Do you mean this one, which links here?
Yep.
Im confused by this thread.
I dont see the op asking for config help.
I see what look like lots of assumptions being made and accusations leveled.
I also see nothing wrong with the observation about needing an SSH tunnel to upload media to an application server. For the OP it was something that wasnt immediately clear to him. It might not be obvious to someone else who comes across this thread after searching on plex.
lol open proxy check plox
Fake news
What? Have you bothered to read the entire thread?
Let me clear up some posts that may have been confusing if you didn't read everything.
WSS is talking about @painfreepc's other thread which is asking for help, and in that thread he demonstrates no effort to find the solution himself. This is what @painfreepc is being critisized for, not this thread.
This ties into something said by @Farish later:
@painfreepc's posts are received in hostility, as he tries to ignore and make himself seem like he's superior (as shown in his post about the SSH tunnel.)
Farish points out that he should've known about the need to set up a SSH tunnel. Unless you say otherwise, this is what the community assumed as well. After all, this forum is all about system administration and hoarding virtual servers
We wouldn't be so annoyed and/or pissed at him if he didn't talk with such arrogance.
Here are a few of his insults to someone/the community for the lolz:
Posts showing misinformation and/or ignorance:
Posts that were just stupid:
So let me get something straight.
You now want to spray on me because people are dragging shit in from other posts/threads/drama/popcorn to this thread without reference to the original whatever. So to answer your question - yes I did read the entire thread. If you/others want to drag up other shit and not reference it confusion will result. Which is pretty much what I wrote. Nice of you to quote back what I wrote without actually reading it...
So there is backstory. Fine. You've explained that now. Move on.
You should have done your research. People here are expected to spend at least 3h per day reading up on the latest drama. See: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/91400/lowendtalk-community-rules
I got my $1/month Plex VPS server up and running in less than 2 hours.
This server serve 8TB of media of around 10,776 1080p TV Episodes and 2,444 1080p movies and capable of up to 2 transcode. All within $1/month running cost.
Piece of cake.
For those who are not techie, you do know that you have to pay it one way or another. Pay it with your time to learn basic Linux/server skill or pay someone else to do it for you or pay a VPS provider that provides one-click/managed PLEX install.
LET community here is helpful enough to answer your questions but you still need to do your part. Don't misunderstand this with thinking they will do everything you ask and you don't even want to Google.
Either you got an insane deal or your provider is booting you out next week.
Nah mate, it is a standard deal. my VPS load is around 15% average of CPU usage. Transcode is a bitch though.
they won't boot me for the foreseeable future, I have been running this for almost 2 years
Where are you getting 2k of passmark from for $1?
2K passmark is only a guideline. I doubt I get 2K passmark but the 1 vCPU is from fairly speedy recent high end CPU. It is all about tuning and media selection. Many ways to reach Rome. Plus I gather that I am in an idle node, my neighbors aren't that many and they dont seem to use the VPS... few times I maxed out the network speed just see if I can.
with just that 1 vCPU, I can transcode 2 720p ~900Kbps for mobile phone media consumption. 1 1080p transcode consume about 50-60% of CPU load.
But again, in all 5 years or so I'm running Plex server, I needed transcoding only a handful of time as I custom rip some of my media.
Where can I sign up for 8TB of storage for $1/mo?
Digital Ocean.
There is a huge difference between serving 8TB of media, and storing 8TB of storage. One is bandwidth measurements, and the other one is storage measurements.
I Canceled The Server, so if you want it start looking for it to return to stock,
way to slow for my needs..
Correct, but location matters too. If Canada for US based users, then meh gets it done. If France for US based users, well 1 will struggle as is.
