That's what I noticed as well, it does seem a bit unusual they keep getting more stock. I thought for sure they'd be completely sold out and wouldn't be getting any more stock in. It's probably from cancellations like rds100 said. Either way, it's almost a steal of a deal.

It's possible there is a high turn over, the 1 IP thing is a real killer.. but to what I notice the deal have not pass 30 days, so technically the servers should still be rented and not up for renewal yet, so not sure how they can offer canceled servers..

jar

The single IP challenges me. Honestly I could do way more with one IP than I do. Isolation via container, NAT. Maybe even reverse proxy for multiple web servers on port 80.

Yup.. that's why I bought it, but was somewhat disappointed that vmware is not compatible even thought it is offered as a selection.. That and the fact that proxmox basically cannot work without ipv4..

jar

Take the chance to have fun with LXC. Maybe the docker.io implementation. Fun stuff.

Thanks.. maybe I will give it a go after this proxmox thing.

@earl they probably had some yearly special a year ago and these are from people who have not renewed after the first year. Just my guess anyway.

@rds100

yeah it's possible.. actually I remember in the prelaunch of BHS they were giving away the i3 with 16gb ram 2x1TB, free for a month or two, for anyone looking to test out their services.. but renewal was too expensive.. I think it was $79/mo

I'm watching an intro for docker on youtube..looks complicated ! lol.

Yeah, the base LXC and LXC Web Panel are enough to get the job done. It's pretty much automated setup. Docker is simple and confusing at the same time, yet cool

jar

@earl I made a blog post for you. Do this and I promise you will enjoy it

Thanks Jarland, I will try it out.. so is there a support forum?

by the looks of it thought docker looks like a more funded project, maybe cause the website looks nicer..

I don't believe so, but there's not a lot to LXC. Even the documentation is easy to read, which is nice. Docker is definitely a cool thing. I like all the premade containers. It tries to be it's own thing though and use a lot of confusing cloud hipster terminology which confuses me a little, but installing it is crazy easy.

earl

Have you tired the turnkey templates in proxmox? it's pretty awesome, they don't use default passwords anymore you get to customize your install when you ssh in..

Yeah I think docker looks neat.. thing about not having a support forum is it get's kinda hard when your trying to configure things like ipv6, or just stumped on something.. it's hard enough in proxmox! just wish they make something that is fully ipv6 compliant so I can use that darn single ipv4 that OVH gives me!

jar

Turnkey are nice but still kinda bulky. I wonder what it would take to do some sort of IPv6 to IPv4 internal NAT...

It's a bit bulky and I think webmin is included in all their turnkey templates, but it's nice how you can be up and running so quick..

Well in proxmox I can use private Ip's for the containers and use iptables to forward ports.. I was kinda hoping to use just ipv6 but unfortunately you can't download templates or have working vnc when you disable ipv4 in proxmox..

If HE can give you ipv6 thought a tunnel, why can't you do the same with ipv4? using ipv4 you have at another server and use it on the server at ovh? is that not possible at all?

I'm thinking something like a GRE tunnel. Maybe mod_proxy virtualhost to serve a domain from certain internal port? Someone stop me if I'm making it way too complicated.

jar

I've ended up just using the OVH server for one single purpose. To run a basic LAMP server and optimize it to death. Helps me get better at my day job

yeah ok so we are thinking the same thing regarding tunnelng ip's from one server to another.. it's how to start part i'm ??? lol

This is where we refer to @Francisco's genius.

Hmm.. interesting!

Actually I just found out yesterday that my router does not have v6 firewall, lol.. so the v6 only proxmox install I had on a computer I setup at home was accessible on the internet! for a good couple of days!

Hey guys. I've got this server and they have discontinued it. I don't need it, but I hate to let it go. Can't be gotten again. I'll rent it back out for $33/m (just rounding up a bit to make sure I don't lose anything). Let me know if you're interested. You can PM me on here.

OS reloads by request. Manager v5 does not feature secondary contacts. This server is in my name and all I ask is that you be respectful and not try to ruin my good standing. I understand things happen and I'm happy to help if I can.
