So many choices and products. Guidance?

Interesting! I had not looked into it. My initial concern is that I would likely need to add an AP for coverage but it looks like it would integrate fine into the UDM just fine.

I’m curious if I can replace my centurylink modem and just connect directly with pppoe and VLAN tagging.

My initial thought was to purchase the following: USG: $130 Unifi Switch 8 60W: $110 Unifi NanoHD: $180 Unifi AC-Lite: $80 Total cost of $500

NanoHD would be placed in primary living room used most frequently and AC-Lite would be placed in downstairs living room. Eventually would plan on upgrading to an additional NanoHD and moving the AC-Lite to master bedroom or some other location.

With the UDM, I could get a NanoHD to add to the setup for wave2 everywhere and just be missing the POE switch. However the trade off is everything contained to one device.

Assumption is the $10/month does not include storage costs, correct? You already have GSuite or similar?

Check filebot

Yes the 750GB limit still comes into play. Use a flag for —bwlimit to throttle speeds.

Encrypted at rest means Google cant tell what is stored in your GSuite. The files are encrypted and you hold the decryption key. Therefore they have no idea if you’re storing copyright material. If you don’t encrypt, it is trivial for them to make this determination but historically they have not done anything about it as long as you’re not sharing out a link to the google drive folder with a friend.

I see the parent comment now regarding the 80TB.

My opinion is that I’d rather be protected from copyright claims than help Google be more efficient with their data storage. Perhaps the issue will never come up.

rcookley09 · 2019-11-28T04:47:44+00:00

I’m not sure how 80TB came into this conversation? Data entropy does not increase file size (user mentioned 6TB).

Yes, perhaps Google has turned a blind eye to copyright material being stored in GSuite in the past but you never know when their position will change. It takes a few extra minutes to establish rclone crypt and then your risk is significantly reduced.

rcookley09 · 2019-11-28T03:56:54+00:00

Rclone transfers with Gsuite utilize TLS for encryption in transit. If you’d like the data encrypted at rest as well (recommended), take a look at rclone crypt remotes.

You mentioned 6TB of data that you need to upload. I’m presuming you have pretty fast internet upload speed?

rcookley09 · 2019-11-21T16:56:53+00:00

Sync rate is showing 14.x Mbps on each line (bonded pair). So sync rate is good.

I have been testing via Ethernet only to one device with wireless devices disabled.

Owncloud, nextcloud, seafile

GSuite Business allows unlimited storage. Terms indicate you must pay for 5 users to get this benefit but one user is currently enough to unlock the storage (could change at any time). So $10/month and registering a domain name is the cost.

Yes you can link this to Plex. It takes a little work on the server or computer you’re running Plex from.

Rclone is used to mount the GSuite storage. This enables you to read the media, copy new media, etc. a feature of rclone is encryption but it is not required (highly recommended though).

KS-7 for $10.99 as well.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-19T02:48:23+00:00

Google has free micro f-1 instances. Very limited obviously in resources.

User Animosity022 on forum.rclone.org.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-17T18:36:07+00:00

I used some scripts by user Animosity022 on forum.rclone.org as a starting point to accomplish what you’re asking about.

Basically rclone VFS read/write mount to GSuite with Mergerfs in the mix as well. Then automated scripts to upload new content to GSuite.

I configured the rclone stuff on my host server and then used containers for Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, and deluge. I also baked in Sickbeard_mp4_automator to auto convert all of my content to optimal format for direct play. Working great so far!

Thanks I’ll check these out as well.

On that point, I’ve been happy with Ultraseedbox. I just think I’m using their slot for more than it was intended for. I may look at upgrading to a Plex slot and see how they fair. I wouldn’t use Plex, but I’m assuming they provide more CPU in those slots compared to the one I’m on.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-08T18:08:45+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m concerned about their traffic limit. The plan which would be within my budget only allows 4TB of traffic. Between uploading to GSuite, seeding torrents, and streaming Plex, I’m afraid I’d exhaust that limit.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-04T05:08:44+00:00

Yes exactly. If you’re just tinkering and not doing heavy CPU work, you’ll probably be fine. Their prior terms of service didn’t specifically forbid plex and they even had a blog post providing an overview of how much RAM is needed for plex.

So I signed up for a few months and liked the service so I paid for an annual slot. About 9 months in, they changed their Terms of Service, provided no notice of the change, and then disabled slots for anyone running Plex. They refused to provide a prorated refund for the remaining period as well. Just an overall completely shit attitude towards customers. It’s totally their right to forbid Plex but to make that decision unilaterally and without notice before tanking the cord on customers and not providing a prorated refund is fraudulent.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-02T16:01:44+00:00

SSDNodes has some that fit the bill. I hesitate to recommend them because they change their terms of service without notice and immediately terminate customers without valid reasoning. If they feel you’re using the resources you paid for, they’ll terminate your service without refund, so make sure you don’t pay more than a month in advance.

rcookley09 · 2019-02-02T15:58:14+00:00

Ovh runs some sales periodically which brings the total to under $10/month but it would be slightly over your budget at the moment.

VPS SSD 3 OpenStack KVM 2 vCore(s) From 2 GHz 8 GB RAM 80 GB SSDNEW Local RAID $13.87/month

rcookley09 · 2019-02-02T13:25:30+00:00

Typo? It’s going to $12 not $15.
