Tautulli

Tautulli addresses the gap in Plex's native analytics by providing the detailed statistics and monitoring that media server administrators need. While Plex shows basic "Now Playing" information, Tautulli maintains comprehensive historical records, generates detailed reports, and sends customisable notifications about server activity. For anyone running a Plex server for family or friends, Tautulli provides visibility into how the library is being used.

Common Use Cases

Plex administrators monitor real-time streaming activity to ensure server resources manage concurrent users, identifying when transcoding load impacts performance. Library curators analyse viewing statistics to understand which content is popular and what remains unwatched, guiding decisions about future additions. Server operators set up notifications for new user registrations, playback starts, or server issues to remain updated without continuously monitoring dashboards. Bandwidth-conscious users monitor data consumption patterns to optimise quality settings or plan heavy usage during off-peak hours. Home users share viewing history with family members and monitor watch progress across household devices.

Why deploy Tautulli on Hostinger VPS

Running Tautulli on a Hostinger VPS alongside or connected to your Plex Media Server offers continuous monitoring without needing a home computer to operate round-the-clock. The VPS deployment ensures notifications are dispatched promptly irrespective of your local network status, and the activity database accumulates seamlessly, avoiding gaps caused by power outages or system restarts that typically impact home servers. For users running Plex on the same VPS, Tautulli adds minimal resource overhead while providing comprehensive insights into server utilisation and user behaviour. The web interface allows checking server status and statistics from any device, anywhere.
