What Happens With Free VPSes If Beautiful Crunchy Marries Handsome Ryzen?
Friendly greetings!
As you may know, thanks to @crunchbits, for almost a year MetalVPS has given away free VPSes on beautiful Crunchy
a donated Crunchbits server.
Today, we are rocketing on down towards November 8, the date when Crunchy needs to be renewed.
A whisper recently heard suggested that, although nothing is cemented, Crunchy perhaps, perhaps not, possibly, possibly not, just maybe, or maybe not, but at least conceivably . . . could be upgraded to Ryzen. Woo!
Another idea, if Crunchy continues or if Crunchy is upgraded, might be to increase slightly the number of free VPS Neighbors. Handling a slightly increased number of Neighbors might be facilitated by adding FOSSBilling to keep everything better organized and to add new Neighbors via a web interface.
FOSSbilling seems to be coming along quite nicely! But, so far, FOSSBilling doesn't have an integrated back end to provision VPSes. Nevertheless, using BashVM for almost a year suggests that something as simple and elegant as BashVM might work well with FOSSBilling. Maybe something like BashVM could be integrated into FOSSBilling?
Thus the idea emerges:
a possibly Ryzenified Crunchy,
with slightly more Neighbors,
FOSSBilling, and
BashVM, or something similar, either alongside FOSSBilling or integrated into FOSSBilling.
This idea might give us a graphical web interface that's open source and which takes care of adding new Neighbors and provisioning their VPSes.
What do you guys think? Does anybody want to help make it happen?
Best!
Tom
