What do you use your VPS for?

TheBrokenBee

Now after the sales I have way more than I need so just looking for ideas! And how many VPSes do you own and are currently using?

TeoM

VPN (Wireguard)
Usenet + Porn Download
GUI for software that I need to use

Danted Server
Docker (Webserver)

I think you should imitate @yoursunny to create a ndn6 network

donko

• backup server (bye bye oneprovider atom)
• adguard home dns (f.ck ads)
• vpn (for ipv6 connection)

• personal vpn
• webserver

I bought every IPV6 VPS, because I am a fanboy of @yoursunny.

For idling and for getting off when I'm bored. SSH'ing to it and running random commands turns me on knowing I got this ultra rare legendary deal others can only dream about.

The first half of the servers is idling the other half monitors the first half.

I fap while YABS is running on those dedicated cores I got for what I think is 90% off.

I think we have to be open to each other. I always feel full good and get a stiff when I call htop and look at the uptime. One server has already 210 days uptime.

Sure, see Return of the ndn6 network.
It's not a full tutorial though.

You can request a 1-hour conference call with me to answer technical questions.
PM me for scheduling.

@yoursunny I watch sometimes your pushups but no new things, however it makes me funny while seeing you to roll on the floor

Ah, a bug report here: when I open new tab from the Chrome browser, pushup stops, and when I return to pushup it still stops, I click "play" button, it still stops

buy it
leave it idle
renew it

The only actual use I have for any of my servers is just for an apache server

Idling and pretty much idling until I randomly need it for something

niknar1900

To be honest:

Torrent Client
Nextcloud
Media Server (stream to Kodi client)
VPN (Wireguard)
A few websites

Years ago I had Airtime running and I had my own internet radio station (that was fun)

Oh yeah, idling or whatever

lifioting

See many ideas here

trycatchthis

primary webserver
secondary webserver
backup server
command and control server
idling

Way to many. Personal VPS that are not related to work and paid from my own pocket is probably closer to 30 then 20.
Most of them are used as testboxes for misc projects. Some are just to get a PoP in that part of the world to simulate client experience or do monitoring.
I have two storage VPS's for backup, running Nextcloud and Restic server. I have a Jitsi for meetings with friends and family. A bunch of them run webservers with various personal sites, blogs or other webservices. 3 DNS servers. One VPS is nothing but a VPN hub, handling all the routing for the internal IPv6 net that every VPS is connected to via a wireguard network.

To be honest, I could probably run everything on a single VPS with the rights specs...but where is the fun in that?

Curious about what specs you're using for that and if you followed a how-to, which one?
