Hi people! I have been pirating for myself for over 30 years now, and with the ever growing size of warez and the laughable upstream limit my ISP has, i have come to the point where it’s not practical to maintain a 1:1 ratio for all torrents anymore - my active torrent list keeps growing beyond practical limits, and i’m someone who wants to keep sharing things for the people after me, esp. torrents with low amounts of seeds.

I’m pretty sure that i know more than i think i do, but i would be happy about a few pointers to get started with a seedbox. i have beginner linux skills, advanced user skills, and not shy of reading manuals on how to get things to work. i have not tinkered with docker much yet, but i’m willing to learn.

Edit: From what i’ve learned and seen i tend towards an dedicated server since i might want to host other services for myself too, so suggestions for what hoster to look at are welcome!

    I use ultraseedbox, and it’s very user friendly. It has a portal where you can install a few different kinds of software and torrent clients to your server. I use deluge with them, and have it tied to Medusa so it downloads all my shows automatically.

    Edit, it also has many/most of the *arr programs if you’re looking to set that up
