[Kimsufi] Black Friday - Limited Edition KS-LE

Neoon

Well, the IPv6 issue is wired, one server has missing routes, that the other one apparently has, without additional configuration.

What the fuck, jesus maria.

edit: ended up adding this to interfaces, still no clue why its missing.

/sbin/ip -f inet6 route add 2001:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64 dev vmbr0

I got one also and running a few VMs on it already for friends.
The drives are terribad, didn't test the uptime but io wait goes to 60% when cloning VMs, for example. I did a custom install on only the first drive which is also faster and using second only for "cold" storage.
The network is good enough, I didn't expect anything like my home connection, but was happy with the 1 gbps download, I thought 100mbps is both ways, at least the ISOs i needed for VMs came fast, actually, the disks were the bottleneck, as I use the second slower and, probably, almost failed, disk for ISOs and templates.
At this price I can't ask for more in the current environment, I am pretty sure they will increase prices soon or retire the line completely, it is unlikely to make sense now, let alone in the future.

If anyone can publish a working howto to put ZFS with Proxmox 7 on that KS-LE, lemme know.
I just wasted 3 hours to get this bitch booting, but it refuses to boot.

Sadly, the Server does not have a IPMI.

Easy:

1. Boot into rescue
2. Install qemu-system

apt-get update && apt-get -y install qemu-system-x86

4. Place Proxmox ISO into /tmp

wget -O "https://www.proxmox.com/..../proxmox-iso-url.com/..." /tmp/install.iso

You have to generate yourself a download URL urself as proxmox uses redirection for their download link. (Start download on Chrome. CTRL+J and copy URL

5. Start ISO using Qemu and install

qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::8006-:8006 -m 4096M -localtime -enable-kvm -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -cdrom /tmp/install.iso -boot d

6. Forward port 5900 using Putty to localhost:5900

VNC to display :0 (Thats port 5900)

You dont need to forward port 8006 thought but i had a usecase for that. Also Port 80 and 443 forwardings are meaningless here. I dont know why others propose those forwardings. You also dont need the smp flag.

Does this mess with networking?

Oh yes, that's why you have to boot it up after install and fix it, before you reboot the system.
However, its not hard.

You boot it up again without the iso or you just talk to your local boot manager to boot from disk.

If you are in, you edit the interfaces and rename that enpswhathefuck to eno1.
Also add hwaddress as already discussed here.

Then you can shutdown the vm and reboot.

Neoon

nevermind.

fLoo

Does this mess with networking?

Because we have such a great community here, answers have already been given ( Correct answer by @Neoon )
For the KS-LE it >should< be "eno1". I'm running the system on ZFS Raid0 with increased arc cache to 4gig and its super smooth. Running 8 LXC and 2 KVMs on it. (500 Upload, 1000 Download), FR.

Maounique

I will share my weird but working 100% config for IPv6.

Main interface for IPv6:
iface vmbr0 inet6 static
address 2001:41d0:8:xyzq::FFFF/128
post-up sleep 5; /sbin/ip -6 route add 2001:41d0:8:xyzq:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0
post-up sleep 5; /sbin/ip -6 route add default via 2001:41d0:8:xyff:ff:ff:ff:ff
pre-down /sbin/ip -6 route del default via 2001:41d0:8:xyff:ff:ff:ff:ff
pre-down /sbin/ip -6 route del 2001:41d0:8:xyff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev vmbr0

You need to use only one IP "subnet" preferably not ::1 for sanity reasons.
Because the KS routers only learn 1(one) IPv6 at a time, if you put different IPs they will last a very limited time routed so we have to route everything through this one.

iface vmbr6 inet6 static
address 2001:41d0:8:xyzq::1/64

This is the actual interface where we will bridge the VMs called 6 again for sanity reasons (I have also a vmbr4 :P)

The we need to configure and daemonize the ndppd.

/etc/ndppd.conf

route-ttl 30000
proxy vmbr0 {
router yes
timeout 500
ttl 30000
rule 2001:41d0:8:xyzq::/64 {
static
}
}

ndppd -d

That is it, you can give any IPv6 in the range to the containers/VMs. Of course, static! You can do something to assign automatically, but again some hack :P

Shit I forgot how to do formatting.

Maounique

Oh, and the gateway in the container/vm is the IP you configured on vmbr6, of course:
address 2001:41d0:8:xyzq::1001/64
gateway 2001:41d0:8:xyzq::1

@fredo1664 close your ticket and open a new ticket asking for service transfer. These replies also depends on person who is handling your ticket. I encounterd same issue in past, one person told me transfer not possible and other did it successfully.

I waited for MONTHS for a transfer that ended in a failure, now I blame the person handling that ticket.

Well, I am still having difficulty installing ProxMox
Can someone share step by step instructions?

Thanks!

Use Proxmox 6.0 template and upgrade to 7.0 using the official guide. Just set hwaddress in network from the proposed solution. All works fine without any issue for my case.

Have you installed ifupdown2 ? Because this breaks my system even installing it before the upgrade.

Nope. I let upgrade process handle. Pick solution 2 (hwaddress) from 7.0 upgrade document.

Other than that all r standard.

Neoon

Well, finally I did manage to put my "spare" storage to use.

Will throw more TB's in if its worthy, otherwise just for porn.

If you can't boot up after reboot try this fix. It worked for me. Just pick the latest boot file then copy it to the 2nd disk

How it works for you?

Finally I am able to install proxMox 7.1.2 directly from ISO using QEMU and did not lose network settings.

Able to login to the proxmox web interface.
Now time to setup couple of VMs.

Received another SYS. May want to let go of my KS-LE again after moving data. Very nice little server, really indecisive.

I can't imagine letting my KS-LE go. I'm struggling to say goodbye to the last of my KS-07 $10.99 boxes even though they are still available.

Keep the KS-LE. I reckon in a few months there will be some serious regret from people who canceled them.

Do you have a KS-07 $10.99 box in FR with a Kimsufi US account? I would like to have one transferred because those indeed are still for sale but only in BHS.

I have only got the ones in BHS with a US account, but like you said, they're still for sale.

The best suggestion I could give you is to register at https://checkservers.ovh/ and get an email when/if it comes in stock.
