    You wrote "N.B." :)

    @jgo24 said: N.B.: And also reactivate my MetalVPS account when you think it's best for me.

    [N.B. means "Note well."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene#:~:text=Nota bene (%2F%CB%88no%CA%8A,appeared%20in%20English%20writing%20c.) I have seeen "N.B." in English, but only rarely in today's English. As mentioned in the linked Wikipedia article, "N.B." is derived from Latin. So I imagined that you might have studied some Latin. :) Like I did, bro! :)

    It's our regular practice (using N.B) in English. I meant in my country. I know it's derived from latin. But we use it as it's an original english 😁😁

    Yes. Same in American English. People use N.B. as American English just like you said. :) Thanks!

    It looks like it has something to do with iperf3, i did a little research and found that people have gotten this type of error before...

    Oh yes! Only now do I remember that Mason might have said something about yabs using a "Holy Build Box" iperf3 when iperf3 wasn't installed. Maybe if we install the system's expected iperf3 and the yabs will run fine. I will check this out when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow.

    Great catch @babywhale! :star: :star: :star:

    @subenhon If you get a chance, maybe you might try installing iperf3 inside your VPS and running yabs again?

    Also, do you want a bashvm VPS in addition to the VPS you already have? I'd be delighgted to make another VPS for you! :) Long term, you can keep whichever VPS you like best, or keep both if you want. But, if you are happy with the VPS you have, that's just fine keep it the way it is.

    Hello again! I installed the expected apt iperf3 package in my test VM and re-ran yabs. Yabs ran okay this time! No segfaults. Yaaay! :) Disk I/O still shows a little more virtualization penalty than I like. Why? How to fix? Network speeds seem a little slower, but it's the busy time of day. Thanks to @babywhale for giving me a great hint about the segfault! :star: Also for wonderful bashvm! <3 Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy! <3

    Introduction to bashvm

    @babywhale's bashvm, has been working great on a couple of MetalVPS test servers over at Redacted. One test server has been running Debian 12 and the other test server has been running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

    Today bashvm was installed here on Crunchy! Now bashvm VMs are available here on Crunchy in addition to VMs hand made with direct calls to Qemu.

    @babywhale's bashvm provides a bash shell scripted menu interface to libvirt. Even a clueless™ guy can call bash bashvm.sh and then enter 1 and then 10 to automatically create a Debian KVM VPS with 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB disk. The automatic bashvm VMs get ssh port forwarded plus 20 additional IPv4 ports. They also get an IPv6/128.

    bashvm has additional options for creating KVM VMs manually from an ISO, increasing the resources of a VM, etc.

    Since bashvm is accessed via ssh into the Node, (1) bashvm doesn't require much overhead, and (2) bashvm may be less susceptible to external attack than VPS creation tools which require, for example, a web server and PHP.

    Thanks to @babywhale for working so hard on bashvm! <3 And for making bashvm Open Source under the MIT license! <3

    Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy! <3

    Effect of installing native fio

    After installing native fio on both our Crunchy Node and the test VM, Node 4k IOPS seems down from about 146k to 124k. Test VM 4k IOPS seems down slightly from 95.4k to 90.3k.

    @Not_Oles said If you get a chance, maybe you might try installing iperf3 inside your VPS and running yabs again?

    Also, do you want a bashvm VPS in addition to the VPS you already have? I'd be delighgted to make another VPS for you! Long term, you can keep whichever VPS you like best, or keep both if you want. But, if you are happy with the VPS you have, that's just fine keep it the way it is.

    After installed iperf3,here is the result of yabs.
    According to the result, the VPS you created has better performance.
    Intresting! I must missing something when I configurate the VPS.
    The bashvm is really wonderful!
    It is very happy to have a bashvm VPS in addition,Thanks!

    After installed iperf3,here is the result of yabs.

    Thanks for installing iperf3 and for running the yabs!

    According to the result, the VPS you created has better performance.
    Intresting! I must missing something when I configurate the VPS.

    I did not see anything missing in your VM configuration. I think you did a great job! :star:

    Yesterday's new VPS with better performance was made with bashvm. bashvm used virsh to talk to libvirt. libvirt then talked with qemu in a very complicated way.

    The VPS previously made was done directly with qemu in a way that is wonderfully simple. Here is an old example of the beautiful simplicity:

    sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
-cpu host \
-enable-kvm \
-m 8192 \
-drive file=debian-10.10.qcow2 \
-cdrom debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso \
-net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:8080,hostfwd=tcp::42397-:42397 \
-vnc 127.0.0.1:0 \
-boot d

    Here is the actual, complicated command for the new vm1-crunchy that was made yesterday. You can see that libvirt is talking with qemu:

    qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -m 1G -hda ./debian-sid-nocloud-amd64-daily.qcow2

    Faster with -enable-kvm but still works well enough for many purposes even without KVM.

    Launch the VM inside tmux if you want to be able to leave with the VPS still running. . . . Ctrl-b, d to detatch from the tmux session. Ctrl-b, x to leave and kill the tmux session. tmux attach to get back into a running session.

    No default password for root VM user. Just enter "root" for the user and then press enter for the password.

    You can do all kinds of things, such as change the memory, number of cores, add a second disk, increase disk size, add IPv6, sshd, port forwarding, etc.

    I am sure there are many benefits from a more complicated libvirt based approach, such as faster performance, nice HTML interface, etc. Maybe some genius could do a bash script menu thing, where all someone would need to do is press 1 and then 10. :star: :) :star:

    @subenhon

    Please compare the following lines, one from the yabs you posted, and a similar line from the yabs I posted:

    @Not_Oles said: IPv4/IPv6 : ✔ Online / ✔ Online

    @subenhon said: IPv4/IPv6 : ✔ Online / ✔ Online

    You of course see that the checkmark ✔ is rendered as "â" on whatever system you are using to connect to your VM. I am guessing that your local system might not be using a UTF-8 character encoding which your VPS might be expecting.

    Another alternative might be to change the encoding on your VPS so that the VPS encoding matches whatever you are using to connect.

    There also are extra lines in the yabs output which you are posting. Those extra lines also might be fixed if you can get the character encodings to match in your viewer and in your VPS.

    Hope this helps! :)

    So I was wondering just how horribly horrible a yabs would look on an unprivileged user's non-KVM and Qemu default slirp networking VPS. Turns out to be very interesting, doesn't it? File I/O is slow, Geekbench 6 is . . . uh! . . . the lowest I've seen, :) but network connectivity seems reasonably okay, but slower.

    I couldn't believe how long it took to run the yabs! I bumped the memory up from 1G to 2G, because, initially, when the Geekbench didn't complete, and didn't complete, and didn't complete, I just assumed that the system had frozen. But, the yabs eventually completed.

    Here's the command used to start the VM in which the yabs was run:

    45699 pts/4 Sl+ 406:24 qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -m 2G -hda ./debian-sid-nocloud-amd64-daily.qcow2

    It also interesting that IPv6 worked despite the error about IPv6 not being supported by slirp, yet.

    And, unlike the bashvm VMs, no AES-NI.

    root@localhost:~# ip -6 a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
    inet6 fec0::5054:ff:fe12:3456/64 scope site dynamic mngtmpaddr noprefixroute

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
root@localhost:~# curl -6 icanhazip.com
Redacted (IPv6 Node address)
root@localhost:~#

    Next thing to try might be rerunning the yabs with 1G RAM, be more patient, and see if it completes. Then activating KVM and seeing what difference that makes. We could also change from the "emulated" -hda to a faster "virtualized" disk.

    bashvm works via libvirt. Libvirt is a virtualization API that provides an interface to qemu. Trying bashvm got me interested in looking a little more into the interaction between libvirt and qemu. Conveniently, the libvirt wiki has a page correlating qemu command line options with libvirt XML configuration elements.

    https://wiki.libvirt.org/QEMUSwitchToLibvirt.html

    How do the libvirt and the qemu development communities co-ordinate? Are there developers who work on both libvirt and on qemu? Do we have anyone here at LES who is invloved with either or both libvirt and qemu development?

    Maybe I can learn a little of the answers to my questions by checking the libvirt and qemu source repositories and mailing list and irc archives. But if some kind and knowledgeable person here could please comment, I would be grateful. Thank you!

    Decided to glance at a little of the libvirt and the qemu code. :)

    @subenhon When you have time, please let me know how it's going with your new, second VPS that was made with bashvm. Have you had a chance to try it?

    Also, how is it going with your original VPS that you made yourself?

    I have continued testing bashvm. Maybe I could make several more bashvm VPSes on Crunchy. If I did make more Crunchy VPSes, maybe some awesome LESbians might want them. I could make them a little bigger, say 4 vcores, 4 GB RAM, 400 or more GB disk. I could make them either Debian or Ubuntu. It's certainly okay to keep both your VPSes as they are now, but would you like to trade either your original or your new VPS for a new, bigger bashvm VPS? If yes, do you want Debian or Ubuntu?

    Thanks @subenhon! :) Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy! :) And thanks to any awesome LESbians who might want to try a MetalVPS VPS on Crunchy. :)

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

  • subenhonsubenhon

    Currently i am busy with other things.
    When I have free time, I will test it out.
    Thanks for the bashvm VPS :)

    The bashvm seems easy to use, i will try it too!

    @subenhon Yes, you have a good life because you are interested in many good things. I am glad to hear! Thanks for posting. I look forward to hearing more when the time is right! :)

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Hosting ProviderContent Writer

    In other news, I have continued testing bashvm. I have two Debian and two NetBSD VMs running on one of my Redacted test servers. These VMs were made with bashvm. I look forward to making more VMs on Crunchy! Thanks @crunchbits!

    Transition from Free Offers in this Thread

    Good morning!

    The MetalVPS test NAT VPSes at Redacted continue working well! Thanks @babywhale for wonderful bashvm, which was used to make the test NAT VPSes.

    I have the idea to make available four 2 core, 4 GB ECC RAM, 1000GB SSD RAID 10, MetalVPS bashvm Debian 12 NAT IPv4 plus IPv6 VPSes on Crunchy! :)

    To get additional identity information, and thereby discourage abuse, I might charge $1.01 for each VPS, paid once, for the entire remaining period until November. A new Offer thread might be needed, since this thread is in the Free Offers category.

    Lots of sites seem to say that the Paypal minimum charge is $0.01. But, on paypal.com itself, the only minimum number I found in a quick search was $1.01. If you happen to have a link on paypal.com where it says a minimum that is lower than $1.01, please post the link.

    All Crunchy offers in this thread are hereby withdrawn. Of course, @subenhon is more than welcome to continue using his free Crunchy VPSes.

    Today, it's peaceful, sunny, not too cold, and not too hot here in the Sonoran Desert. Breezy. Blue sky. ¡Perfecto! :) Hope everyone at LES also enjoys a wonderful weekend!

    Thanks @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy! Thanks, wonderful LES!

    Isn't paypal fee based on the currency and transaction mode? For personal transfer, if no currency is involved, there is no transaction fee. Moreover personal transfers also are protected against chargebacks as the money goes from their account to yours (i could be wrong here). So it's better for you if the user "sends" you the money and not "pay" you.

    Thanks! I could be wrong, but I think my MetalVPS account is a business account, not a personal account. Free transfers to business accounts went away a year or so ago? Something like that?
