Hello, I am interested in getting a dedicated server so it can act as both a seedbox and Plex server. How much knowledge do you need, and in what in order to do this? If I understand correctly - when renting a dedicated server as opposed to a VPS, you are renting a physical computer itself in another location right? So I would be the only user of the HDD and internet connection?

If it is possible to install something like Teamviewer so I can access it and install the necessary apps? I think I will be OK if so, but if you need knowledge of command line interfaces or coding then I am stuck. I have used multiple seedboxes over the years and the performance is fine, now I am more focused on being able to access my automated Plex library remotely at all times. I have used SSH a few times for very basic things but that was supported by a guide from the provider itself.

Anybody here use a dedicated server? I would appreciate any advice. I have been looking at Leaseweb and Hetzner auctions and I am tempted to pull the trigger, just my lazy brain puts me off. If there is a script or something that does all the setup for me then that would be great! Or if you can recommend a resource where I can learn all I need then that would be appreciated also!
