    We have disabled vswap for instances users on the UK nodes, this was being heavily abused by people creating 64MB instances and forcing everything into swap. As this node is on HDDs it was impacting the limited disk performance fairly substantially.
    Instances should be provisioned with the amount of resources that you require and not intentionally underspec'd.

    Ubuntu 22.04 apt update command crashes on 64MB without swap, even if I stopped everything.
    I think it should be acceptable to use some swap during installation and upgrades, but not during normal operation.

    I deleted UK instance and created Germany instances, which has swap.
    There's no way to modify a loadbalancer, so I have to delete and re-create it too.
    This causes downtime because TLS certificate isn't provisioned on the new loadbalancer right away.

    In an attempt to reproduce the apt update failure, I created another UK instance but it has swap again.
    Does this mean the UK SSD node has arrived?

    Having the same problem. Not able to install security updates.
    Createt a ticket a while ago... still no reply :-(

    DM me the ticket number, I’ll take a look.

    Maybe you should offer 280MB ram as minimum.
    locale-gen will fail because of OOM in 256MB VPS.

    Or you may limit the OS to alpine.

    MicroLXC is lovable.

    It’s down to the user to decide how much ram they want. We originally limited it to 128MB and we got complaints so reduced it 64MB.

    Users can upgrade their resources at anytime for VPS clients they just need to open a ticket and we will invoice accordingly. For instance users they just need to reprovision their instance with the resources that they require.

    Keep in mind that all locations other than our UK nodes come with 256Mb Vswap as standard.

    I am running 2x128mb vps ubuntu 20.04. No issues :)

    It's not only about running, and I'm sure your vps are running stably with 128MB.

    Some installations or updates need more ram than just running the service.
    I wish there could be something like ram burst, which temporarily assigns more ram from host, say 256MB more ram for 1 minute, and only once weekly (to prevent abuse).

    Yes, that's the instance editing feature they is coming soon™.
    The resources would come from your credit.
    The idea is keeping a portion of your credit(s) unallocated, so that you can add the reserve resources to one instance at a time during upgrades.

    Still not enough?
    Buy more credits!
    This is already better than most other VPS providers.

    @natvps_uk said:
    Loadbalancer and instance editing is coming very soon.
    This will allow you to add additional RAM to an instance for maintenance then remove it afterwards.

  • genuinely asking:

    if I install WG on 64MB ram just for simple web browsing/ YT streaming (total of 5 hours per day at most) and ssh to my other vms, will it be abusing the server? can it handle the task?

    if that's a problem then i would re-create it with 128MB

  • wg uses next to nothing, I used to run 60 wg tunnels on 256MB machines.

    It's been 8 hours and the new loadbalancer still hasn't provisioned TLS certificate.

    $ curl -i https://summer-host-storage.yoursunny.dev/robots.txt

    I am running ovpn+wg on a 128mb ram vps just fine. 64mb would probably work just as well for wg :)

    This is now live for RAM only, disk will follow soon.

    Currently only enabled for UK and CA although all other nodes will follow in the coming days.

  • Ok someone explain to me this load blanacer. I created one pointed the backend to my vps and connection refused. Disabled the firewall same thing.

    What the hell did I do wrong?

    Just checked and its working as expected.

    You need to either point a cname record to your endpoint or ping the endpoint, grab the IP and point your hostfile at it.

    DM me if you get stuck

    Oh, you pointed DNS at the node rather than the loadbalancer. That explains why its not working! :)

    No DNS just a subdomain or won't that work?

    That’s fine, just set the target to the endpoint address. You need to use a cname record.

    Currently only enabled for UK and CA although all other nodes will follow in the coming days.

    I tried the editing in Beauharnois.
    RAM hotplug without reboot works like magic.
    Looking at top, it's 64MB one second and 320MB the next second.

    Capacity of /run/shm is half of RAM during boot.
    It does not change upon resizing.
    If I fill 160MB into /run/shm and change to 64MB RAM, the excess gets dumped into swap.
    Looks reasonable.

    A minor bug: right now we can get big container with small credits:

    1. Create 320MB container in Limburg.
    2. Open /upgraderam?id=<> endpoint and change RAM to 64MB.
    3. The change succeeds, 256MB credit is freed up and can be used to create other containers, but the Limburg container stays at 320MB.

    I consider this minor bug because as soon as the RAM editing is fully deployed, the pending changes would be processed and oversized containers would return to configured size.

    This is hotfixed now, any servers with wrongly allocated ram will be corrected when the worker is started for the remaining locations later today.

  • Do you still offer the http/https proxy services or is everything through the load balancer service?

    We're setting up a new UK node currently. This will be very low stock and only available for VPS customers.

    Would anyone be interested in the following:
    Single Core Xeon E3 V2
    1GB RAM
    60GB SSD Cached Storage
    Gigabit Port 1000mbps upload 1000mbps download
    NAT IPV4 (20 Ports)
    Unmetered Bandwidth (Fair Use)
    /48 IPv6
    Location Coventry UK.
    £13 per year.

    I realise this isn't as cheap as out other offerings although this is not hosted in OVH, comes with a /48 and is on a Gigabit port with no restrictions. If there is no interest we will split it up further and push our our usual deals.
