Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS's storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.

I don't have anything at home. I barelky have space for a laptop.
I'm literally in my home, just that my home is small af.
Be careful that sometimes these providers will shut you down for hosting media servers. Even if your content is not illegally obtained.
I use Hetzner storage box, mounted with rclone and it works great.
Most likely, a Hetzner storage box is going to be so slow you will regret it. I would just bite the bullet and upgrade the storage on Contabo.
Storage in the cloud is expensive, there's just no way around it.
HEVC releases. You can also setup Jellyfin to selectively prune media you've already watched.
I'm already going with them, guess I will either buy more storage or limit what I have on it.
(I can't have jellyfin prune media I have watched cause seeding )
(I can’t have jellyfin prune media I have watched cause seeding )
You actually can. Thanks to this TRaSH guide.
Still ocupies the same amount of space, a hardlink just makes it so that if you remove the origin file the link is removed at the same time, bht you can emove it in jellyfin but it will take the same amoun of space.
Edit: either way can't have jellyfin delete media because I don't want it to accidentlally remove stuff from ptt's
You asked for a solution for removing unneeded media files while keeping the linked torrents. I gave you one.
You got a friend to host with?
I have an off site backup with a friend, but I've never tried streaming from them.
I'm most likelly the only one among my friends who even own's a smartphone/pc ( I live in Croatia in countryside where tech is seen as evil )
I mean… they’re not totally wrong.
Agreed
