Did you setup any extras on the Plex_Debrid like jackett, overseer? I had a look on the github page of the Plex_Debrid it's looking very powerful

After your 30 days free trial what happens to the vps?

It carries on. The trial is for extra odds and ends. The server itself is part of the always free stuff. There's a whole thread on here about the Oracle VPS.
 
My oracle trial has ended and it doesn't look like I can manage my instance anymore?

Try a different browser then see if something pops up.
Edit: Had the same screen with the same messages as your picture there until I switched browsers.

Ahh.. bob's your uncle. Chrome works but brave doesn't. It always warned me about the browser but it all still worked so I just ignored it.
Thanks

Microsoft 365 developer program works like a charm getting auto renewed, so far this is my 4th time it got renewed with 25 free licenses and each account have a max 5tb storage space. It is small things to do to get auto renew make sure you have a SharePoint setup and team as well one drive etc.

All i've got to say is this dev program is amazing.
Been using it for a while and mine renews later this month.
Also paired this with rclone RD fork and now I enjoy having many TV shows, anime and True 4k movies without having to worry about space running out.

Being able to have more 5TB drives is the icing on the cake
 
What is the best setup for plex for with this free instance? Any suggestions

For now I am manually uploading my movies and series to one drive, never yet try the rclone Rd fork only using the rclone to mount my one drive

For me the best solution is using it was a plex server.

You can also install sonarr and radarr on it and mount the onedrive or google drive to automatically upload and organise your media in folders etc on the cloud drive.

Well with rclone I use the cache flag and set it to 1GB. That caches the content to the RAM when accessing it. Useful if you want to save on disk space caching. The CPU is not the best so transcoding is not advised. Everyone that has access to my plex are advised to direct play from HD libraries of their connection can't handle it.

So far it's working pretty well and the speed from gdrive with the cache flag when mounting works well.

Thanks for the searcharr recommendation. I think that would work great for me instead of using overseerr

I am guessing you cannot have 2 always free instances on 1 account?

If I want a 2nd free tier instance, do I just sign up with a new email address and what about payments do they not flag you with it etc?
 
I finally managed to get mine going. Thanks for all of the advice shared in this thread.

Quick question with regards to VPNs. I am using ExpressVPN but as soon as I connect, my SSH connection is gone. It seems normal since the IP is changing but I’m trying to figure out what would be the best solution. I was thinking connecting to a Socks5 proxy within Deluge (would probably need another Proxy/VPN service since ExpressVPN does not support it) but unsure of how good that is.

Remote SSH?

DuckDNS and have it update the IP more regularly.

Or use something like ZeroTier to get back in.
 
For those running OneDrive rclone mounts; how do you find your disk usage calcs? Mine seems to show dbl ?
