@somik said: Go with option 2 and then create a cluster so all VMs can be managed from 1 proxmox panel. Makes creating accounts in different regions much easier.
Understood - but current users lose everything hence option 3 i.e. your suggestion works with new hosts going forward.
Feedback appreciated.
Send an email out giving the timeline of events and explicitly state back up your important data. Do the switch give users the new login credentials.

@Not_Oles, can give me root access to the server in 1 weeks time?
I want to test what happens if you run rm -rf / && reboot on it
@Not_Oles said: @msatt, @FrankCastle, @igctt, someone else, is it crazy to imagine that one or several of you guys might be kind enough to take over FOSSVPS and leverage your significant Proxmox experience to benefit our community? Hopefully, you kindly would accept the FOSSVPS.org domain, the existing servers, plus the remaining balance of the contributions received so far? Of course, I will continue as a friend, but without any specific ongoing FOSSVPS responsibility?
I will take over the total software side of fossvps but still feel you (Tom) need to be at the helm for sourcing new servers / negotiating with hosts and vetting new VM candidates..
When it comes to support, I think primarily the forum should be used so everyone can help. Obviously if it is Proxmox / system related then it could escalate to me but I can't be first level support.
Also happy to control / maintain the fossvps domain management.
How does that sound (just random thoughts and not set in stone).
Day to day management of users i.e. creation / deletion / password changes / reboots I think would be ideal for volunteers to enhance their knowledge of full system monitoring, Proxmox clusters, Storage systems, backups and High availability (this is great for the CV).
Tom and I have been having a lot of discussions and our first decision is to convert the London server to Proxmox. I will post a new message with more details a little later when we can confirm a date (hopefullly around 23rd of October) when the current server will be going offline. So those on the London server GET YOUR BACKUPS DONE.

Virmach is NOT worth the risk.

I want to test what happens if you run
rm -rf / && rebooton itNever 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.
You will get some errors. Not all the directories in / like being deleted, even by root.
I hope everyone gets the servers they want!
Ya, but last time i tried, it failed to reboot after that

Saves me making decisions about keeping or installing Proxmox. Thanks for doing the prep

@Not_Oles You keep doing amazing work in this area. Massive props to you!

Modern rm would not delete / unless you admit you're really stupid by passing an "--i-am-really-stupid" argument to the command line.
The all seeing eye sees everything...
I thought that was
--no-preserve-rootNever make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.

Forgot to add "/s" 😂

My bad! Knowing linux, that could really be a real argument

Just to keep everyone in the loop -

Sounds like @Not_Oles's last wishes before he departs to the field of reeds...
