    Progress: The FOSSVPS server kindly donated by Alexhost showed disk issues, so Alexhost kindly replaced some of the 8 disks and reinstalled the server. I'm delighted to say that the server now is up again. Thanks Alexhost! <3

    I have to double check what I can, and then try making some VPSes to give away. More soon!

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

  • Congrats on, erm, giving birth.... Did not know men could do that, but this is 2025 afterall!

    Anyway, whats the IP situation over there? IPv6 with NAT IPv4 or just NAT IPv4 only?

    Seems like with increasing price of IPv4, more and more low end host is opting for IPv6 VPS, which is great news for IPv6 adapters :D

    Thanked by (1)Not_Oles

    Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
    It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Hosting ProviderContent Writer

    So far all the server donors have kindly included a few extra IPv4s, like a routed /29 or a /28, or some on-link IPv4s.

    We've been giving out IPv4 + IPv6 VPSes.

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    Here is some definite progress. I just logged into the first Alexhost VPS made by hand with cloud-init and virt-install.

    Now for some more testing! And then make more VPSes! Then give VPSes away!

    Thanks Alexhost! <3

    Here's a Yabs from the initial testvm1 on FOSSVPS' Alexhost server!

    Thanks to Alexhost for their kind donation! <3

    Probably I will make some more of these, maybe 4 cores, 4 GB RAM, and 100 GB disk? Then give them away.

    Maybe I will write a recipe for LES Talk about how I made this test VPS with cloud-init and virt-install.

    I want to check on the disk caching. My guess is that this server has a pretty conservative disk cache setup. With conservative caching, plus RAID 10, the server ought to be pretty reliable if there is a power outage or another disk problem.
