Why the different regions? To see if bandwidth and latency would be an issue. One in Australia, one in Singapore and one in the US (Los Angeles). To see if running Plex on a cloud server actually works, I spun up a few US$10/m servers with Vultr because I already have an account and it’s a piece of piss. Maybe keeping my Plex server in the cloud, along with a Usenet client, isn’t a bad idea? There’s fast computers with fat internet connections for a few bucks month all over the place – why am I bothering to have a server at home? My internet connection (100mbit) is more than fast enough to stream video and I don’t hoard terabytes of content I’ll never watch again. But I kinda don’t have $450 lying around these days ( need more of you to subscribe to The Sizzle!) so what about hosting Plex in the cloud? Plenty of grunt for what I need, low power consumption and not that expensive ~$450 for an i3 unit and some RAM. My initial thought was to get an Intel NUC.
I’m running more services on it and the 2GB of RAM and old slow CPU just can’t keep up. My little Dell FX160 is starting to struggle running Plex.
