Seedbox recommendations (thinking of switching) (lemmy.world)

With Netflix and other streaming platforms increasing price, I finally decided to get a seedbox for my family members' needs with Plex/jellyfin.

My budget is 10-15 USD per month. I'm currently on the 11$ hostingby.design plan with 4TB storage and 9TB traffic, 10gbit connection. I've been mostly happy but,

Their app selection feels small though I've found most of the mainstream stuff.
I'm missing things like cross-seed, jellystat, jellyfin-vue, transmission and audiobookshelf.
Not happy with how apps installed by the GitHub scripts are not available on HTTPS.
Can't disable ssh password login for public key, which is making me really uncomfortable.
Their wiki seems quite sparse.

The other options I'm thinking of are:

13$ HDD plan at seedhost.eu - 4TB/9TB but only 1gbps, downgrade in specs but seems to have more apps.
14$ plan at ultra.cc with 3TB/8TB but 20gps (which feels like an overkill honestly). Also a downgrade but their wiki/app support looks top notch.

I really wish there was a way I could manage docker containers on my own on a similar shared setup without paying for a dedicated vps but haven't found something like that so far.

Any advice regarding the other providers, experience or otherwise would be greatly appreciated :)

I will do some research on SSH keys as you suggest, thanks for the heads up.

I just went to look at the support tab and I didn't see any discord info but they have a ticket system that still has all 5 tickets I've ever submitted all being 4-8 years old. Didn't even realize I had had it that long lol. Its obviously been a while but I remember a pretty quick response each time I needed them.

That's amazing :) I am definitely going to try them if I am sticking around.

The prompt for me to switch was the fact that Netflix, Hulu and prime increasing their prices which made many members of my family stop using them. If they can adapt to Plex/jellyfin, then I'll probably keep it around and maybe even upgrade.
