Comment on Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

Regarding CGNAT and Port Forwarding: I too am behind CGNAT with my ISP, and my solution to this is renting a cheap VPS (I use Contabo, others might have different recommendations) and installing Pangolin. It’s a tunneling software that uses some UDP fuckery to hole-punch straight through the network with their Newt tunnels. I use this so my friends and family can access my Plex and Overseerr requests.

Two random things you may already know, but just in case:

Oracle (yes, the evil company) gives you one VPS for free

Jellyfin is an alternative to Plex which would work perfectly with your setup

  I’d like to spin up Jellyfin, but Plex has tv apps for the non techies in my group ;/

    Jellyfin also now has apps for most common TV OSes: webOS, some Samsung models (more to come as soon as Samsung approves them), Android TV.

3.60 €/month is not bad. however i’d look for something even cheaper, given that the lowest plan gives 4 cores and 8gb of RAM, which I probably won’t need
