@nwnuyhs Thanks for the specific details! :star: I see from the lowend.ai website headers that you chose nginx as the webserver. But I don't know which version of nginx. Ahh! I forgot to ask a most basic and important question--which operating sy…

@nwnuyhs Thanks for your instructions! Very helpful! Let's go through the steps you took one more time, please. Do you mean: * Get a VPS * Install aapanel (Does CloudCone autoinstall or one-click install aapanel? Which aapanel version did you use…

(Quote) @nwnuyhs Did you install this version of Vanilla 3.3? If yes, may I please ask how did you do it? What version of Vanilla did you get working at lowendai.com? How did you do it? Thanks!

@nwnuyhs I can see your enthusiastic Vamilla Forums continuation online at lowendai.com! Congrats on a successful installation of Vanilla! On your lowend.ai forum, the top announcement post is by @kehan: https://lowendai.com/discussion/7/vanilla-f…

Looks like this thread continues the previous discussion from https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/219848/#Comment_219848

@mizzik Yes. How can we make it better?

@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 Se…

Here is the status of the Alexhost Chisinau node following this morning's data center power maintenance. If your Alexhost VPS still needs an adjustment, please let me know. Thanks! root@alexhost:~# date; uptimeMon Oct 6 15:12:00 UTC 2025 15:12:00 …

@somik Thanks for your kind suggestion! Docker is great! Nevertheless, before going with Docker, I want to try Debian sid and possibly NetBSD-current as well.

(Quote) Back in March I had a go at installing Vanilla from https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla. I started by trying to set up a LAMP stack and Vanilla on a Hetzner VPS. My attempts bogged down in composer, which kept showing multiple errors. I have…

Wow! The VPS which was restored using @cmeerw's brilliant method of copying the deleted qcow2 file out of /proc seems to have worked! At the least, the VPS now is running again, and it responds to ping and ping6. I'm waiting to hear from the client …
-
In case anyone might be interested, I posted the steps I took to possibly recover a VPS from /proc at https://fossvps.org/recover.html. A few comments are posted at https://www.nodeseek.com/post-431916-36#359. Best wishes!
-
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…
