What's a seedbox ? How can I setup one?
Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.
You can rent a seedbox from a bunch of companies (monthly cost, less effort), or you can even set one up at home (one-off cost, more effort).
Here's a list of seedbox companies to check out:
A bit more "home user friendly" explanation:
Basically your home PC where you download "Linux ISOs". But because you don't like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.
"Automate" is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your "wishlist", downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.
This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it "seedbox".
Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it "seedbox". They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it's not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my "Linux ISOs" from Jellyfin.
Buy why do you need so many linux isos? Can't you just pick a distro and stick with it?
Lmao
much better than what i said :) thanks!
