It will be a bit before I'm ready to release..I need some code fixes in Traefik and other apps to be released. My plan is to deploy with zero footprint on the host except for docker itself..when you no longer need it you just run a script to remove the containers and images and you're back to basically zero.
It might get rolled into the QuickBox project.
Hmm had a quick play with this and yes you can force it to use a CDN but I'm not sure the CDN would be able to actually cache things properly so it's only worthwhile if the routing from client > CDN > Server is better than Client > Server
I tried with bunnycdn (paging @bunnyspeed) and the plex web client
You need block the normal remote access port and use a different one for the CDN to connect via as otherwise it will just publish out the direct access anyway, it looks like the webapp at least also tries to connect on the Internal IP as well which does help explain a few things about my servers performance (It's remote but I have a site2site Ipsec tunnel)
Going through Cloudflare or Incapsula often results in slower speeds than the origin server.
Your best options would be to either work out a split tunnel VPN for the user that runs plex to go to a better server that has tier-1 upstreams if you can't find another server that's cheap enough with a good CPU for transcoding
or if you do find one, then a simple NFS share and mount on boot would be good enough for your plex server on this server.
I had followed this guide https://htpcguides.com/force-torrent-traffic-vpn-split-tunnel-debian-8-ubuntu-16-04/
But couldn't figure out how to setup a OpenVPN host with port forwarding support so I ended up using AirVPN. In AirVPN, you set the remote port as 32400 and then whatever port they give you is fine, then you input that into your remote settings on plex. I also had to clear the iptables everytime on boot since it was some how blocking the port from going through on the client.
If you figure anything out on your own like the iptables issue or openvpn server port forward problem (I tried forwarding with iptables with no luck, since I couldn't access the client vpn ip from the host, only the other way around), Please let me know.
Today my client stopped working for Android, any one of you guys had any issues ?
So now that it has been awhile, has anyone run a test on plex streaming before/after putting it behind the cdn?
I'd like to know how much improvement you got from doing this in a percentage value.
