Hi everyone,
im running a plex instance and i have some user and bandwith capacity to spare.
unfortunately plex has a user share limit of 100 Users therefor i delete users that haven’t streamed in more then a month and the link might at some point not work because the user limit has been reached so try again in a month
You can request stuff on request.brokkoli24.de and sign in with your plex credentials
The server is located in a Finnish Datacenter has a bandwith of 1Gbit/s and 20TB of storage.
Out of curiosity, how much do you pay for a server in a data center with those speeds and storage? And how do you pay for it?
I’d love to share my server with my entire family only if it were feasible
I’m already sharing with about 20 users without issue. The fact is people don’t use the server every night. Only a few of them uses it each day. I’m on 10mbits upload and I have no issue.
I have two families and one individual outside of my network. The two families run streams every day, sometimes all day because it’s on the family TV
My main worry is that it’s better to not give access at all rather than give them access and then kick them off when there’s too many people. My family have 5 (incl me) who sometimes stream outside of the house which adds to the bandwidth needed
I have limited remote streams to 12mbps for now (with a total of 38Mbps upload) which seems to be running smoothly so far
I could easily add more but I want to keep it on the low for now lol before I get the full extended family asking to be added
That and the fact I don’t want to saturate my internet for other people when I may need to use it at home too for gaming and whatnot
My “dream” is to have gigabit upload and give my extended family their own accounts with good bitrate for their TVs, phones and iPads. That’s about 15-20 streams estimated peak times (weekend nights)
hi I pay 40€ for 20TB NFS mount and 60€ for computing the computing is a little bit oversized just for Plex but I use it as my homelab the plan is to get a standalone internet connection and host a beefier server @home with more storage and the ability to scale said storage
Do NOT enter your plex credentials into a third party website.
the wizarr app uses the Plex API to send you an invite you will not be sharing your credentials with the service login is done by app.plex.tv also the app is open source you can check the functions yourself if you’d like to https://github.com/Wizarrrr/wizarr
the code for authentication with Plex are done in these files

Thanks, I will check it.
It’s still very bad design. It’s internet 101 to not share credentials with a 3rd party website and plex only requires a username or email to send an invite/grant access. So you have to understand that this looks very suspicious.
Am on it. works very well :)
Good to hear. I’m just naturally suspicous as I use my plex account to run my own server with with those credentials … with more like 30TB of occupied storage (little fewer movies, but almost double the TV shows). So it was rather high risk low reward for me.
There should totally be a place where we can maybe privatly share plex servers with other members … you know, just by username.
