  Hi Tom,
  Because of the way you are growing I would suggest going over to Proxmox would make your job much easier. You are also much more likely (I would volunteer) to get more support / help.
  Either way keep up the great work.

  Thanked by (2)Not_Oles yoursunny

  Virmach is NOT worth the risk.

  @Not_Oles , isn't it dispersive to open a thread for each location?

  @msatt

  Thanks for your suggestion of Proxmox and for considering volunteering! Both your suggestion and your consideration are great!

  I did use Proxmox a few years ago. In 2020, I wrote a few Proxmox tutorials for LES Talk:

  • How to Create and Setup a Debian KVM VPS with Proxmox VE 6 — Part I — Creation

  • How to Create and Setup a Debian KVM VPS with Proxmox VE 6 — Part II — Debian Install

  • How to Create and Setup a Debian KVM VPS with Proxmox VE 6 — Part III — Network Configuration

  At the moment, my personal experiment is making KVM VPSes on bare Debian or Ubuntu with cloud-init and virt-install. VPSes made this way do seem to work well. Nevertheless, Proxmox VPSes indeed might be better than the VPSes I am presently making in several ways, including easier administration.

  Is it too crazy to imagine that you might want to take over administration of the FOSSVPS London node contributed by OnlyServers,, wipe the node, install Proxmox, refresh existing VPSes for clients interested in continuing, and then administer the London node for FOSSVPS with Proxmox going forward?

  I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

  @mizzik Yes. How can we make it better?

  There is certainly no harm in asking Tom
  You have been kind enough to get FOSSVPS up and running and likewise get the very kind contributions from some great providers (thanks OnlyServers et al). So I am also happy to contribute. Lets DM to sort something out.

  Something you might need, since you dont have enough public IPs for all your VMs:

  It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!
  IPv4: 32 bits of stress. IPv6: 128 bits of... well, more stress... Have anyone seen my subnet?

  Thanks @somik! Much appreciated! Nice website, and very nice tutorial!

  In fact, your idea fits right into a discussion I have been enjoying with @msatt, which I will post about in a moment in the OnlyServers London FOSSVPS thread.

  Glad it could be of help. The main purpose of that site is for me to follow when I forget how to do . So instead of searching for the tutorial every time, I consolidated it into one place for me to find.

  Maybe you have seen the discussion on pages 8 and 9 of the FOSSVPS thread on OGF?

  Links:

  https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/209394/great-news-from-fossvps-org-more-vps-giveaways/p8
  https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/209394/great-news-from-fossvps-org-more-vps-giveaways/p9

  In summary:

  Many people want the future of FOSSVPS to be on Proxmox.

  @msatt has kindly taken over administration of FOSSVPS.

  London and the new Bucharest server will soon be wiped and reinstalled with Proxmox. If you are on either of those servers, please look at the linked threads and send @msatt the message he requests on page 9 at

  https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4538264/#Comment_4538264

  For the Chisinau and Los Angeles servers, no immediate change is planned.

  Heartfelt thanks to everyone here at LES who has contributed to the fun we have had getting FOSSVPS started! Best of luck to @msatt and other friends who are helping to continue FOSSVPS. ❤️

  I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
