I am guessing that I have to add a website in aapanel before I get a webroot directory into which to extract the Vanilla zip. (Image)

(Quote) This made me Laugh Out Loud! A real LOL! :)

Should an nginx default page be showing on WAN port 80 at this point in the process? I don't see anything on port 80 from outside. Is that a problem? Ah! Lynx does seem to find something at http://127.0.0.1: (Image) Yes, looks like nginx is runni…

It's been a while. We could use a little more activity on the London server! Thanks OnlyServers! <3 @msatt kindly suggested to me that Proxmox might be a more stable solution for FOSSVPS servers than the plain command line virsh that I have been…

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.

I clicked the One-click button. A pop-up appeared with lots of installs listed. I watched for a while as the installs rushed by, then ate some dinner. When I returned, I saw that there were no remaining tasks and no messages, so maybe that means suc…

Mostly in accordance with @nwnuyhs' instructions I changed some of the default aapanel software install versions to older versions: * Nginx stayed at 1.24 (@nwnuyhs said he uses 1.28) * MySQL 5.7 * PHP 7.4 (Image)

Yes. (Image)

Running the pasted command as root seems to have succeeded. root@debian-1cpu-1gb-us-chi1:~# echo $?0root@debian-1cpu-1gb-us-chi1:~# I saved 2,024 lines of terminal output. Hundreds of packages were installed. At the end of the terminal output, …

Step 2: Install aapanel With one click I can copy the aapanel install command! Then I can paste the command into root's terminal on the VPS. Here is a paste of the aapanel install command as I copied it: URL=https://www.aapanel.com/script/install…

Step 1: Get a VPS I provisioned a small VPS at Upcloud. The reason I selected Upcloud was that they still offer one click installation of Debian 11. Plus I had some unused account credits. (Image) (Image)

Thanks @nwnuyhs! I have to try it. I will report back here about how it goes. It might take a while. However, if someone wants me to post here, step by step, as I go along, please let me know. If I can help you somehow, @nwnuyhs, please let me kno…
-
@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…
