AlmaLinux OS 9, Rocky Linux OS 9, CentOS Stream 9 Now Available on RackNerd's Platform!

Today, we’re proud to announce that AlmaLinux OS 9, Rocky Linux OS 9, and CentOS Stream 9 OS templates are now live and available on RackNerd’s VPS platform! :) We realize that not many providers currently offer these as a ‘ready to go’ template that you can deploy with instantly, and we also acknowledge that it isn’t convenient to have to manually install an ISO over VNC, so if you're interested in reinstalling your VPS, we now have these OS templates available for you to reinstall within just a few clicks of a button.

Existing RackNerd VPS customers can reinstall their virtual machine to any of these new OS templates via the SolusVM control panel (see #6 on this tutorial). In addition to this, we have plenty of other supported operating systems on our platform, such as various versions and variants of CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu. And of course, we offer custom ISO mounts for those who wish to manually install their operating system without the use of a predefined OS template.

Have you used AlmaLinux OS 9, Rocky Linux OS 9, or CentOS Stream 9 on any of your servers yet? If you're already running any of these three OS's, share your thoughts & feedback below!

    Hi @MikeA -- agreed, but the reality is it isn’t, and many VPS providers do not have today (such as those running on SolusVM 1). I do realize other panels such as VirtFusion and SolusVM 2 run based on cloud-init / cloud images though, which do easily have support for it out of the box :)

    Hi @JasonM -- AlmaLinux is definitely a solid choice :)

    Transitioning over to SolusVM 2 is definitely planned for 2023 once the migration tool from V1 to V2 is available. We have a video here that goes over this subject in greater detail:

    In the meantime, we're working closely with SolusVM developers to perfect SolusVM 2.0 so that by the time we transition over, it'll be perfect for our use-case and our customers :) We shared some feedback/progress here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/182028/solusvm-2-0-feedback-our-thoughts-findings-and-what-is-in-the-pipeline

    Thank You @Liso -- appreciate the support, in terms of another location — what location sparks your interest?

  • Nothing New here. I see these OS's on many providers.

    Every provider does update their template library, if not the customer has option to upload own ISO file so no limits, so your comment invalidate the offer to get double amount of cooling fresh air on your VM 😂😂😂😂

    I still can't see ubuntu 22.04 on some providers.😂😂😂😂

    Europe, especially Scandinavia, and with ipv6. I would easily drop a bunch of other providers and move to RackNerd if this would happen.

    I will never understand why so many providers still open new locations in the US, it is a totally oversaturated market.

    It's just because they prefer Debian to Ubuntu. And I also have the same opinion with them. B)

    Just a few notes to share about Racknerd:

    I have had a Racknerd VPS since July. It has run flawlessly and been a great value for the cost. My Racknerd VPS is so much better than the much more costly VPS it will replace in terms of cores, RAM, and disk at half the cost. Based on my experience with my Racknerd VPS, I would recommend them in a heartbeat as a great service.

    I tried several of Racknerd's preconfigured templates and also asked them to mount an .iso for me to boot and perform my own installation. Both worked perfectly, and the ticket to mount the .iso was implemented and closed quickly.

    That's the good news. The bad news is that @dustinc (Racknerd's CEO) has been charged with several serious criminal felonies associated with a previous employer in the hosting business. Dustin pleaded not guilty. The charges are being processed by a judge, prosecutors, and attorneys in the courtrooms. The next conference is one week from tomorrow. Dustin has stated that the criminal charges against him are independent and the Racknerd business will continue operations no matter what, but some people remain skeptical. If you look around this website, you will find threads discussing the case and many related topics. I am not saying "buy" or "don't buy" from Racknerd. If you sign up for a Racknerd VPS, do it with full knowledge and understanding.
