It looks wall mounted to block or concrete and probably some kind of institutional setting where unplanned changes are generally frowned upon. Considering the alternate route looks to cost roughly a $1 and less than an hour time this is pretty good and makes actual repair sound wasteful. My only concern is certain times it may be difficult to discern between hand sizes, but it seems like the times it would occur (eg 7:37 or 9:50 when both hands are to be blocked by the bar) it probably wouldn’t throw anything off too greatly for the 5 minutes of limited visibility.
Why go all this way to build this stack on German hardware under the constant risk of being found out by copyright holders and being fined hundreds if not thousands of euros - when you could just get a seedbox that’s automatically configured for exactly this purpose and can run all the apps you need? Look at ultra.cc for example, they just work, don’t cost a lot of money and don’t annoy you with DMCA notices. And if you dislike their price or anything else, there’s limitless options out there.
Ultra is what I personally have been using for a while now without a single problem. But as I already said, there are plenty of other hosters with the same featureset, though I cannot make specific recommendations - but the seedboxes community on reddit may.
Regarding the DMCA, usually these hosters base their operations out of countries with lax or nonexistant copyright laws, allowing them to simply disregard incoming takedown notices. In Ultra’s case, they claim to forward copyright notices to the respective server owner, but I have yet to receive a single notice. Though I’m also exclusively on private trackers, maybe thats a reason too.
How should they even know? How should they prove that you are in posession of that data? Yes Hetzer most likely has to respond to reports but again how should the rights holder find out? Just because they find a jellyfin server in the wild? Even if the site is not SSL protected they are not Man in the Middle the traffic.
Not sure where you got the idea that it’s not advisable to mount the box via NFS. You can totally do this. I would make some adjustments though.
I would use mergerfs to union multiple mounts into one. You would then download to the local mount which is the drive connected directly to your seed box. Then I would have a remote mount to the nfs mount. You merge these into one so that when you link up jellyfin, it won’t know the difference and you can just stream like normal.
You need to copy files from the local drive to the remote, so you can try and roll your own solution by using rclone or use something like cloudplow which solves this issue as well. Cloudplow uses rclone as well, but monitors for changes automatically.
As far as copying files, why are you using sync anyway? It’s pretty dangerous. Just use move or copy instead. This way you don’t need to keep copies on your computer and the server.
As far as streaming from the nfs mount. You may need to make some changes to the cache settings and ensure they are set correctly.
With a setup like that, you should have no problems though.
They are a german server hosting company, you know, the country with some of the strictest copyright laws? For example, a kid at an old school of mine was once fined 800€ for accidentally sharing a song on a school hosted messaging board.
If you do anything with pirated torrenting on their servers, they will know, and will come after your ass. And even sharing pirated content can get you in incredibly hot water, they might not have found out yet, but when they do, good luck.
Hetzner because that’s what I had and have always had a good experience with them, anything else to recommend at the same prices? And that is a reason why I don’t download the content directly on their servers but on my local machine.
The only one in a similar price range that comes to mind is ovhcloud.com, they are a france based company, still not ideal though, as they might require ID.
If money is the biggest factor (which I guess it is), best thing for you to do, might be to move your storage box off of the german servers and onto the finnish servers.
Even in the finish location, if any of the “law” fuckers scourging the open trackers, sends an abuse/dmca to Hetzner, you will have some explaining to do as they will raise it as a ticket and require an explanation as to what happened and what is your course of action to remedy it.
Source: my own experience about two months ago (used chatgpt to send them a neutral bussiness respone, worked like a charm)
Use vpn that allows port forwarding, or never touch public trackers at all, or both.
I’ve been using a Hetzner server for a couple of years now and haven’t gotten any abuse reports or DMCA takedown request but I’m using a docker + vpn setup so maybe it’s that
I only heard that it was not advise / that it did not work well, and I actually tried it myself instead of using rclone sync to upload the content to the storage, mount it on my local machine. qBitTorrent downloaded everything, but the content was never reflected on the storage.
You might have setup something wrong then. It should work. The problem with torrenting on 1 server and saving the data to another directly via smb/NFS is that every write is at the behest of uploading to that network storage.
What would be better might be that you:
add categories
mount /completed/tv/ as a network share to hetzner-storage
then only when the torrenting is done does it auto copy the data to the SMB share
I have this all done internally. I torrent on one box, it’s finished and gets moved via NFS to the storage server. Which sonarr/radarr file away. They notify jellyfin to resync the library. The jellyfin box has the storage box mounted via NFS.
If you can test with small files, IE copy a 100m file onto the SMB share and then see if that was replicated to the storage box then you will have the basis of the solution.

I don’t use catbox but if it’s anything like imgur…
The end of your image link has no extension, so this is not a direct link to the image. Clicking it downloads it for me, so it’s a link to something, just not the an embeddable link. I tried adding extensions to the end of the link and that didn’t work, I get back 404.
Yeah, I switched to imgbb, still not sure why catbox wasn’t giving the file extension. Even with imgbb I had to copy the link from the embedded code link it gave me. Oh well, it works and that’s what’s important.
I use imgflip and have to open the image in a new tab and copy the link that way, I would self-host something simple for image sharing but haven’t found anything yet that’s not overcomplicated
Before, it was hosted on catbox.moe and the link went to the download link, but now your link goes directly to the .jpeg itself so it can be viewed without downloading it (I think)
I’m enjoying it! I’ve binged all of TOS, TNG, and Voyager, but I guess DS9 just wasn’t on my radar at the time, so here goes nothing. Yes, this means I will make 176 memes.
Well, I needed a title for the post, so I came up with that. I believe that sometimes a title for a photo can go a long way showing things that are not necessarily obvious at first
