The most CPU and RAM reserved for you, on dedicated hardware in some datacenters.
What is Nazgul?
Nazgul is the top of the Personal Media Stack range — same 16xHD/8x4K capacity as Halfling, with more CPU and RAM reserved for you, and dedicated hardware in some datacenters. Built for power users and large content shares.
The setup is identical to the smaller tiers (one-click provisioning, the same configurable variation choices) — with a bigger reservation of CPU and RAM behind it.
Configure your stack at checkout: pick your media player, automation tooling, and cloud storage provider from the variation dropdowns above. Each combination provisions a tailored bundle.
TorBox variations include a complimentary TorBox Essential account. If you already have a TorBox account, you can use that instead.
Debridge is the BYOK cached-only orchestration path for supported personal media stacks. It is pre-wired through ElfHosted’s internal Balrog integration. A supported debrid provider account is required, and BYO debrid accounts provide the routes Debridge can orchestrate.
How Nazgul Configures
Nazgul is a variable-subscription bundle. Pick one option from each of the three variation dropdowns and ElfHosted provisions the matching stack:
- 🎬 Media Player: Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or Remux (Early Preview) — all available, switch any time.
- 🧩 Remux (Early Preview): choose Media Player: Remux with Media Automation: AIOStreams and Cloud Storage Provider: Debridge for the addon-driven build. That combination provisions Remux, AIOStreams, AIOMetadata and PostersPlus in place of the Radarr / Sonarr, Prowlarr, Seerr and Rclone half, and streams resolve on demand instead of being collected into a library first. Direct play only, so your player needs to decode the stream natively: native Jellyfin apps handle almost everything, web browsers are fussier and want AVC/H.264.
- 🛠️ Media Automation: Radarr / Sonarr (the classic *arr-stack workflow), or AIOStreams (the addon-driven path, paired with Remux).
- ☁️ Cloud Storage Provider: your own debrid account (BYO subscription), TorBox (complimentary Essential account included, or use your existing TorBox account), Debridge (BYOK cached-only orchestration path; BYO accounts can sit alongside it), or NzbDAV (with a bundled Usenet/NNTP account included).
- 📺 16xHD or 8x4K concurrent streams, regardless of variation choices.
- 💾 No storage limits: your library lives in your debrid account or comes through your chosen Usenet path — you’re never paying us for terabytes.
Nazgul vs other tiers
Nazgul is the top of the Personal Media Stack range. Same stream capacity as Halfling, with more CPU and RAM reserved for you.
- If Halfling‘s capacity is right but you want more CPU and RAM reserved for you, Nazgul is the bigger version of the same tier, on dedicated hardware in some datacenters.
- Same *arr stack, same Plex/Jellyfin/Emby choice, same debrid/Usenet options as the rest of the range, with more CPU and RAM reserved for you.
Why Run Your Media Stack on ElfHosted?
Self-hosting a media server plus automation tools plus a debrid or Usenet integration plus reverse proxy plus authentication plus monitoring is the kind of project that’s fun for two weeks and a maintenance burden for the next three years.
- No Docker compose to maintain, no rclone mounts to debug, no NGINX configs to remember.
- Updates handled automatically across whichever combination you picked — media server, automation, storage provider.
- No storage cap to outgrow — your library lives in your debrid account or comes through your Usenet provider, not our disks.
- PlexPass / Emby Premiere (if your variation needs one) and your debrid subscription stay yours; everything else lives with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which combination should I pick?
Defaults: Plex + Radarr/Sonarr + your own debrid account suits most users. Pick Jellyfin if you want to skip PlexPass; pick NzbDAV if you’d rather use Usenet (a Usenet account is bundled with that variation). Pick Remux + AIOStreams + Debridge if you’d rather skip the download-and-organise workflow altogether and stream straight from your addon sources.
Does Nazgul include a debrid subscription?
Debridge variations include BYOK cached-only Debridge orchestration inside ElfHosted. Debridge is the BYOK orchestration path. Add your own debrid account when you want another route. TorBox variations include a complimentary TorBox Essential account, and NzbDAV variations include a bundled Usenet/NNTP account.
Can I switch variations later?
Yes — switching the media player, automation, or storage provider is supported but requires reprovisioning that part of the stack. Contact support to coordinate.
Do I need a Plex or Emby subscription on top?
Depends on your media player choice:
- Plex: remote streaming requires a PlexPass or Remote Play Pass — that’s a Plex requirement, not ElfHosted’s.
- Emby: remote streaming requires an Emby Premiere subscription — also Emby’s requirement, not ours.
- Jellyfin: no extra subscription. Fully free and open-source for remote streaming, hardware transcoding, the lot.
- Remux: no extra subscription. Remux speaks the Jellyfin API, so the Jellyfin apps you already use connect to it directly.
Where does my library live?
Wherever your chosen Cloud Storage Provider keeps it. ElfHosted runs the apps and metadata; the actual media is held by your debrid (TorBox or your own account) or Usenet (NzbDAV) provider. We don’t sell terabytes.
What does “Dedicated” hardware mean?
In some datacenters Nazgul runs on hardware of its own. In others it’s a reserved share of a larger node: the CPU and RAM are set aside for you, but the machine isn’t yours alone. Either way, it’s our biggest reservation.
Nazgul is the top-of-range Personal Media Stack — 16xHD or 8x4K concurrent streams, with the most CPU and RAM reserved for you. Built for power users, large shares, and demanding 4K workloads.
Getting set up
Your apps arrive provisioned and running, and setting them up the way you like is yours to do. Everything here is documented, and most people are running inside an evening.
Stuck along the way? Ask Sam, the AI helper in your dashboard: he can see your real apps, answers from the docs, and can fix many things once you confirm. If Sam can’t get you there, our team and community on Discord can help, though people take longer than Sam.
