I agree, streaming on local network should be free, what is.

I had other reasons too, so a while back I tried other self hosted solutions and I got back to Plex, it is more polished and a cleaner user experience. I’m happy to pay for a well written software as long as it is reasonable and not too greedy.

I was curious, whats the purpose of it? The vps host should have some redundancy in case of hardware failure. Is it for user error if I accidentally delete my server?
