One of the Nodeseek guys reported that he can log into his VPS and can install software. But his qcow2 file is gone! Amazing! As @cmeerw says, the VPS persists inside /proc. Wow!

(Quote) Reminder about Chisinau maintenance coming up soon! If the power to our server is interrupted during the maintenance, we might lose any vm2* qcow2 and iso files still alive in /proc. So, if anyone wants to copy their files out of /proc, it m…

(Quote) @cmeerw What happens if the file is a 100 GB qcow2 file instead of just Hello? Catting the file out of /proc can not be a practical method of recovery when the file is so big? Inside /proc, there is more, in addition to exactly what you alr…

Unexpected discovery! virsh seems to think that some of the VPSes whose qcow2 files were deleted are still running. I logged in to one VPS where the client apparently had not deleted my ssh key. I did nothing except log out immediately, but it see…

@jmaxwell Your VPS is rebuilt from scratch since restoring from the snapshot did not work. The new version is not using backing store, which means everything needed is actually within your qcow2 file. Everything should work as before. I have teste…
-
@Not_Oles just make a spectacular noob mistake! During the process of rebuilding vm2 for @jmaxwell I went to remove the qcow2 image and the vm-seed.iso for vm2. Heres what went wrong: root@alexhost:~/vm-seed/vm2 # rm -v /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm…

(Quote) Restoring from the snapshot did not work. The VPS went right back to high CPU. Next is to rebuild it from scratch. All of the several others which had simultaneous, similar issues seem now to have been happy since they were rebuilt. So I h…

Hello! FOSSVPS.org has been updated to add a link to the Second Month Report. The Request List has been updated to separate Accepted, Pending, and Assigned Requests. Hopefully the list is clearer this way. Thanks to @R3M1NE for an additional $5 c…

@somik 24 Nov 2025 @risturiz Yeah, I also noticed what seemed like a lot of swap. Additionally, if I understand right, the gentleman who kindly did the install for me set up the RAID 10 from within the baseboard controller in a way somehow analogou…

Hi @terrorgen! 8% It might be a little while until FOSSVPS receives contributions sufficient for formal registration and then receiving its own 501(c)(3). So, why not have a 501(c)(3) available, in the meantime, in case someone needs it? Contribut…

Update The FOSSVPS website has been updated to show the total of 47 previously assigned VPSes (up from the September 12 count of 40) and the total of 5 VPSes currently available for assignment. The FOSSVPS Request List has been updated to move Ass…

Hello! At the moment there are 27 VPSes configured on the Chisinau server. I don't know why, but 8 VPSes seemed to be running continuously at high %CPU following recent update and revert of the netplan. As far as I am aware, the remaining 19 VPSes…

Best of luck with both doc and truck!
-
(Quote) 2 of 5 assigned? So 3 more to go? :) I have to update the numbers on fossvps.org. :)
-
Given the lack of good ideas about the high %CPU VPSes, and in the absence of objection, I propose to shut them down, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. One thing we might try is reverting one of the high CPU VPSes to its fresh snapshot. Maybe they all w…

Here's a Yabs from inside the new Chisinau VPS that I just made. Its IPv4 is one from the newly assigned group. The results seem pretty good, especially considering that several of the existing VMs currently are running 100% CPU. The results are -- …
-
Mystery partially solved! I missed one space in a yaml configuration file when testing the first of the Chisinau node's newly assigned IP addresses! root@alexhost:~/vm-seed/vmXX# yamllint network-config network-config 1:1 warning missing d…

I have received several congratulations about Chisinau VPSes which are working great. However, there also have been several reports of VPSes which are offline, which I confirm. Additionally, there are multiple VPSes running very high CPU. . . .
-
Great news! Chisinau node came back up without needing a power bump! Also, I can ssh into the node and into my test VPS via IPv4 and via IPv6. Hopefully we are back to where we left off before the netplan adjustment! I need to sleep now. Anybody s…
-
Two client reports confirmed the issues I was seeing. Netplan reverted. Chisinau node rebooted.
-
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 …
-
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 i…

Hello! The Chisinau server is back up following a hard reboot. All the VPSes seem to be running. Any problems, please let me know! Best! Tom

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 n…

@AuroraZero Thanks! Will do! Reboot coming, maybe tomorrow morning, maybe about 16 hours from now. . . .

Hello! Trying to work with Alexhost to adjust configurations for the five new IPv4 addresses which they kindly provided. <3 Also there are normal apt-get updates and a reboot. It looks like the reboot probably will not happen today. I will post…
-
Hi! 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. Best wishes! Tom P.S. Everyone has backups, right…
-
(Quote) @AuroraZero Thanks! 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…
-
@epoch314 Delighted you are satisfied with your FOSSVPS! I need to make some more London VPSes. These would be either NAT IPv4 or IPv6 only. Also, one VPS was suspended for high CPU use, and, since I have no response from the client, that VPS mig…
-
@somik I thought your deleted post was a funny joke! If a server expires, it gets "deleted." If the server's expiration date is pushed back, then, in a sense, the deletion gets deleted, hence "deleted." :)

@KevvoGeek Congrats on joining us here at LES! Could you tell is a little about yourself so we can get to know you? Also (from the original post in this thread): (Quote)

Good morning! OnlyServers has kindly extended their donation of the London server until January 25, 2026! Thanks to Dan! <3
