Yes, there's the one open port that is required. Otherwise your traffic gets routed through Plex servers and the streams are limited to pretty poor quality video

Tailscale is another one I've heard of but haven't looked much into it.
This article put me off a bit. Seems like an unnecessarily complicated setup https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/plex-media-server-tailscale/
That racknerd price for a vps sounds too good to be true!
Are you guys not concerned about losing complete access to the internet if something drops on your server?
I realise these will be very rare cases, but shit happens sometimes, and always seems to happen at the worst possible moments.
What's your recovery plan?
Edit to add that this is the reason I'm on nextdns... Make it someone else's problem
Point taken about backups. I wouldn't self host something like this without backups.
Backups are obviously a good idea, but it's a pain in the ass having to restore your data. A disclaimer like this implies that restoring from backup will be a regular thing. That's why I was curious about peoples experience with it. How frequently does it wipe your photos?
Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn't use it concerns me.
If you use it, what is your experience?
Is there? What's this book called... so that I know to avoid it
