Check out plex shares on reddit. I used to run my own server too but this is just much less of a hassle to deal with. To be fair though, I know everything can be pretty automated once it's all set up but I just don't have the time anymore with a 2 yo in the house. lol
I found paid Plex shares pretty hit and miss. If you're trying to watch a newly released movie in 4K it's going to chug with so many other people also trying to watch that same file. And once you are watching something pausing or rewinding can be a total pain. Do not buy a Plex share for $15/mo and expect it to perform the same as Netflix or Disney+
