@loay Well done, these are the sorts of projects FOSSVPS is happy to support. Drop me a PM if you would like a free VPS to help with your work. Mike
-
(Quote) That is because @VirMach has not touched them ;)
-
Hmm - reading up on S3 (please correct me if I am wrong) it uses http/s. So providing that sort of service would mean we were hosting and serving potentially dodgy stuff - no thank you. edit - typo
-
@havoc I find sshfs simple to use, install on client, setup keys and mount. i always found S3 (perhaps because I was using AWS) setup awkward and a bit slow. However i am prepared to implement solutions if that is what the Open source community want…
-
@tetech (Quote) @somik Don't mind considering some type of s3 or rsync type access, but definitely not https because of what could be hosted (abused).
-
Agreed. https://status.fossvps.org
-
Things are progressing.... You can now check the status of the nodes (using hetrix tools) at status.fossvps.org Still plenty of 'availability' for a free VPS if you are an Open Source developer, just send me a PM. Choose between Bucharest, Moldova…

I mean what Proxmox tells me ;)

Well that was quite a day... Just to give you a brief outline of what was going on. Alexhost generously donated one of their dedicated servers to FOSSVPS in Chisinau (Moldova). It has 40 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz (2 Sockets), 2…
-
UPDATE Chisinau (now called mol1) rebuild is going through some final tests, much faster than expected with big thanks to Alexhost Emails will be sent to all that completed our registration form. The standard configuration is dual stack NAT + IPv…
-
@Not_Oles Yes, I am using Realvnc and for spice, I just download the credentials and run virt-viewer in the chromebook cli. I needed to do some video editing so used a cloud VM. Vnc does not support remote audio so I used spice which worked very wel…
-
All my work is done on a chromebook (developer mode). ssh works great and if I need graphics, spice or VNC works perfectly. Majority of my work is cli based so as long as I have ssh and a browser it is job done. Been using this method for at least 1…
-
Just spun up an Alpine Vm in 128MiB works perfectly. Alpine as an lxc 64MiB is fine. Just use one VM for one purpose - job done.
-
7 VMs cancelled so far and will continue reducing. @bakageta I admire your stamina, but once you perfect a strategy for a downed VM, then what is the point of purchasing more VMs that will go down.
-
PM's sent to LES clients on Chisinau, if I have missed anyone please PM me. There is a lot going on..... Mike
-
(Quote) Happy to provide that on our UK or Bucharest servers but it would currently be NAT and IPv6 with 64GiB hdd Latest Debian 13, Ubuntu 24.04 or Alpine 3.22 Sorry no US. Just drop me a PM.
-
Apologies for the formatting (I tried). (Quote) If I was being a disgrace then go for it even though it is personal (which I think you are saying). However I was saying Virmach is a disgrace not the person. (Quote) No this is Virmach not the perso…
-
@somik - you stirrer ;) I still have servers with virmach which SHOULD be working. I am moving on. This thread does allow moans which I consider mine are valid. The use of # shows my concern and If # is not allowed why is it there. As far as be…
-
(Quote) Just the usual story - Ongoing multiple VM issues, no support, no status updates, automated renewal notices while server is down. In fact Think of something a provider should not do and Virmach does it.
-
@VirMach I have lost all respect for you and the company. Having 2 VMs down on AMSD018 for something like 2 months now is just DISGUSTING. You are a complete disgrace to the industry.
-
(Quote) But could I have one as it adds a bit more respect / credibility to the project. :)
-
@AuroraZero At the moment the team is concentrating on Fareham-uk and Bucharest-Romania so you are safe, but we will flag any action with hopefully 1 weeks notice. BTW so I need to request a tag change?
-
@fscarmen PM sent.
-
@hornet - thank you and I also trust Tom <3
-
@spiritlhl - PM - have fun :)
-
Yes - nested virtualization is supported. Looks like an interesting project. I have sent you a PM to register.
-
@somik (Quote) Assume that was a question, If you would like a server you would be welcome, just lmk. Mike
-
Just to keep everyone in the loop - (Quote) 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 supp…
-
(Quote) Ok ongoing 'flapping' enabled.
-
Thank you @Hosteroid these contributions will really benefit others through @Not_Oles hard work. <3
-
I have 2 vms on AMSD018, one has been off all of the time and the other is currently up and down. I know the permanently offline one had a read only file system error.....
-
(Quote) Saves me making decisions about keeping or installing Proxmox. Thanks for doing the prep ;)
-
(Quote) Thats fine, give me someone to blame ;-)
-
(Quote) Understood - but current users lose everything hence option 3 i.e. your suggestion works with new hosts going forward. Feedback appreciated.
-
@Not_Oles and I are just making some decisions - the key points are - 1. Many complications moving existing vms over to Proxmox (nat and disk space problems / conversions) 2. Wipe all VMs and start with all new Proxmox VMs 3. Leave everything as is …
-
(Quote) 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 D…
-
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.
-
@skorous I think your reply and history lesson are admirable (genuinely). Overall yes I do still see a problem and if this was my forum I would be doing something about it. However it is not and I can't change things. While I believe many readers un…
-
Look 'guys' I have tried to have a sensible balanced discussion but we seem to be moving away from the focus. A provider should provide. A provider could have a brilliant trustpilot but do a runner or something worse. Why should trustpilot or google…
-
(Quote) Come on, I think you are just 'discussing' for the sake of it :( So what is it, complain, moan or praise - depending upon how quiet people are (because they know what @VirMach is like), visitors could easily get the wrong impression. I agree…
