Any details on your Telegram bot projects? Are they open source so that you could give us a link to the repo? Is NAT IPv4 plus IPv6 okay for you, or do you need dedicated IPv4 plus IPv6?
Thank you!
Tom
For now the projects are closed, private development to help develop their chats and channels, if the bots are successful and useful, I will post them for everyone. Right now the simplest server and IPv4 will be enough
Two VPSes, the last currently available in Chisinau, have been assigned to applicants on Nodeseek.
Thanks again to @Alexhostcom for their kind donation!
Possibly more Chisinau VPSes might become available if more IPv4s are donated, if another server is donated, or if someone moves elsewhere.
Right now, FOSSVPS still has 3 NAT IPv4 VPSes available in London. Two of them, if I recall correctly have applications which are pending. Thus, there might be only one remaining fully available. Thanks to [OnlyServers] for their kind donation!
Great news! Alexhost has kindly agreed to extend it's sponsorship of FOSSVPS' Chisinau node beyond the previously set expiration date of October 30, 2025. No new expiration date has been set. Alexhost also added an additional 5 dedicated IPv4 addresses. Thanks @Alexhostcom!
Important!
The Chisinau node needs to be rebooted. Probably the reboot will happen about or after 3:00 PM UTC on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
Another post will be made here prior to the reboot.
The previous time the Chisinau node was rebooted, a power bump was needed to get the node restarted. That might happen again.
If you need the reboot to be delayed, please post here.

Five IPv6-only VPSes on our excellent Alexhost node in Chisinau, Moldova:
Specs: KVM, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 13, 4 E5-2680 v2 vCores, 4 GB ECC RAM, 100GB Disk RAID 10, 1Gbps, No IPv4, One IPv6/128
Inventory: 0 assigned, 5 available
Expires: No date set
Renew: Not applicable
How to apply:
Please post here in this thread.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 13?
What do you want to run on your VPS?
Please post any links you want to add (your website, blog, source repository, etc.)
In case you are wondering, there are no strings attached to @Not_Oles's offer. As for the VPS uses, you can use the VPS with the IPv6 address to run your project site, since most ISPs allows access to IPv6 websites.
If you are still worried, I recently found out that you can use cloudflare to "proxy" your website so it'll load on both IPv4 and IPv6, all the while using a proper CDN for your project site.
Following attention by Alexhost support, the Chisinau server is again online. It responds to ping, and I can log in. virsh seems to think that all the current VMs are running.

Maybe it might not sound so super wonderful to say, "It means a lot!" But as we go through life, how often do we meet kind, honest, generous, dependable, "real" people?
Fortuitous meetings happen for me from time to time. I am lucky to know you!

5 - 1 = 4
I have to update the website. And . . . and . . . and. . . .
There are 5 new IPv6-only Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPSes ready to go on the Alexhost node in Chisinau.
Since the recent node software update and reboot a few days ago, there has been some trouble making new Debian VPSes, which no longer boot. Also, there may now be some file I/O instability on the existing Debian VPSes. Nevertheless, the new Ubuntu VPSes seem fine! Also an OpenBSD VPS seems to be working excellently.
It again is time for me to sleep, so I will be back tomorrow. Hopefully I can review the existing requests and try to assign some free VPSes.

Hey Tom,
Rest well you deserve it man. I would be interested in an ipv4 to use for a code/dev server. If you do not have the room or need anything let me know.

I'm about to put a few new dedicated IPv4 + IPv6/128 up on Alexhost in Chisinau. Of course, I'd be delighted to give you one. But, it might be kind of far away (too much latency) for an interactive graphical application? Of course, it might work great!
As an alternative, if you don't mind sharing it with me, and if you don't mind Debian unstable, I've got a 2 vCore Ryzen 9950X that we could try. Well, if you don't like Debian unstable, we could reinstall it. This VPS has a pretty good connection, and it's not too far from your location.
So I got code-server all set up and then didn't use it. I have plan9port installed on NetBSD-current so I can use ed and p and some other junk left over from old unix. Not all the stuff shown is correctly described as "old unix." But ed and p certainly are.

I basically need it to upload the hosting panel to and get it sorted for lxc and maybe kvm. Just a skip once the lxc is done.
Finally I might be caught up to where I can add a few new IPv4 IPs to the Chisinau node and then assign an IPv4 VPS for you. Do you want to give me your ssh public key?
Alexhost gave FOSSVPS a few extra IPv4s when they kindly renewed their server donation until Janbuary 30, 2026. Thanks again to Alexhost for their kind donation and IPv4s and renewal!
It will be great to have you with us on the Chisinau server!
There is a reboot upcoming on the Chisinau node. Probably tomorrow. There are normal updates plus I need to add a few additional IPv4 addresses. I will post again before and after the reboot.
Trying to work with Alexhost to adjust configurations for the five new IPv4 addresses which they kindly provided. Also there are normal apt-get updates and a reboot.
It looks like the reboot probably will not happen today. I will post again when more information is available.
Hello again! I thought everything was okay, but now I suspect significant problems.
The Chisinau node came back up after the hard power reset. I could log in to the node remotely, and on the node it appeared that all the VPSes were running. I got into my test VPS via Qemu console from the node. Everything at first seemed okay!
But I couldn't make a new VPS using one of the newly assigned IPv4s. Additionally I discovered that I could not connect via ssh to my test VPS, either remotely or from the node, although other connections, for example to icanhazip.com, seemed to work.
Looking at dmesg on my test VPS suggests issues with the new netplan configuration.
My guess is that at least some remote ssh connections to VPSes might not be working. Maybe other remote connections to VPSes still work.
My guess is that it might take quite a while to troubleshoot and resolve the issues. Apologies!
One idea I have is to revert to the former netplan configuration, which was working on all the previously assigned IP addresses but not the newly assigned addresses.
Another idea is to reinstall the server node, to get it rebooting without needing a power bump.

Hi @aski!
I'm looking forward to reviewing your request as soon as your project is open sourced.
Thanks very much, again, for your request! Welcome, again, to LES!
Best wishes!

Good morning! Reboot time has arrived!

The Chisinau server again seems offline following the attempted reboot.
I opened a ticket with Alexhost requesting a hardware reset.
More before too long!

No. Dedicated IPv4, not NAT.
The VMs shown above from
virsh liston the Alexhost Chisinau server are the currently allocated, dedicated IPv4 plus IPv6/128 VPSes.I just made the first IPv6-only VM. I need to test a little more, and then 5 IPv6-only VPSes will become available.
There also are going to be 5 more dedicated IPv4 plus IPv6/128 VPSes available "soon." Thanks again to alexhost for the additional 5 IPv4 addresses.

Sorry to go offtopic, but that reminds me, @Not_Oles did you try to run VS code web on one of the servers yet? If not, give it a try.
Demo: https://vscode.dev/
Instructions/code on: https://github.com/coder/code-server
Since you are now using ubuntu, it should be easy enough to setup and run!

Following update and upgrade, the Chisinau server reboot finally happend at Mon 22 Sep 2025 12:35:18 AM UTC.
Prior to the update, upgrade, and reboot I believe we successfully applied changes to the netplan configuration.
I think the server will need a power bump, like previously, so I have a ticket open with Alexhost.
Thanks!
