FOSSVPS.org is born!
Hello!
Thanks to the kindness of @netixen, it looks like I might be getting a free server from @dan_onlyservers.
When I started FreeVPS.org, some of the great guys who volunteered to help wanted to use less than 100% free and open source software ("FOSS") to administer FreeVPS.org.
FreeVPS.org runs on Blesta, which is not quite 100% open source.
Later, Eric from crunchbits.com was kind enough, at my request, to take over leadership of FreeVPS.org.
Despite FreeVPS.org being all set up and running very well, Providers still are continuing to give me free VPSes and free dedicated servers. These are managed with FOSS software only, and with tons of awesome help from generous friends.
Today I registered the domain FOSSVPS.org to facilitate the continued giveaway of free VPSes in a 100% free and open source context.
I think all the guys at FreeVPS.org are wonderful! I'm still a member of their Discord PM group, and we still joke around and talk frequently. If any of the members of the FreeVPS.org team want to help with FOSSVPS.org, they will be more than welcome! Same with Providers who have kindly donated to FreeVPS.org (Thank you!). Of course, those who are using free VPSes at FreeVPS.org also will be welcome to get another free VPS at FOSSVPS.org.
As the days go by, we will see what happens with FOSSVPS.org. Additionally, I expect to continue with MetalVPS.com, which sells shell accounts and FOSS VPSes.
FOSSVPS.org doesn't have a website yet. MetalVPS.com has a crazy fun site! 
At the moment, I have a new setup of FOSSBilling running on a free server kindly contributed by @fmxm. Maybe FOSSVPS.org can use FOSSBilling.
Thanks again to @netixen and to @dan_onlyservers for their generosity! Thanks to @jbiloh and to everyone here at LET!
Best wishes!
Tom

What do you normally joke about?
"Hahaha look at this great troll! 20/m for a server that might disappear at any time, AND PEOPLE BELIEVE IT!!! Hahahahah"
🔥HostDZire offers high-performance VPS and dedicated servers from top global locations including India, The Netherlands, USA, Singapore, Japan, and more.🔥
Why 3 different free vps frontends? Will there be a 4th?
edit: will this be another personal blog thread?
edit: do you have to pay $200 for each of these different entities?
edit: all the best mind you, just curious.
lol.
this is a very interesting use of free will
looking forward to whatever this is 
@Not_Oles is awesome
Free services dont need a provider tag.
@Not_Oles
What’s stopping you? I’d be very interested to hear. I saw your message on FOSSBilling Discord but afaik you didn’t reply
.
Cool I was also experimenting with fossbilling somehow I could not get it to work with Plesk it keeps generating multiple users of the same people if they do multiple order. And when a account is created on the server it shows in fossbilling failed setup, while everything is created on the server so I don't know what I do wrong.
Potentially nothing - the server manager may need to be updated/fixed (testing is difficult with no Plesk server to test against) - did you raise it on GitHub?
No not yet I was planning to do it but first I tried it with whmcs and then it worked so now I know for sure it's not my wrong doing haha where do you want me to post it, I used the newest version of plesk and fossbilling
If you want I can give you a plesk server and you can try for yourself @adly
If you can share the details either by DM or Discord DM, I’d be happy to take a look. Ideally we’d be testing every manager automatically with each release but we lack the infrastructure and licensing for all panels (DirectAdmin, cPanel, and HestiaCP should be covered though at the moment).
Nothing is stopping me besides being a little slow and generally clueless.™
I have a FOSSBilling install apparently working okay. Please see screenshots at https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4477089/#Comment_4477089
I still need to do further configuration and setup.
I got through the install smoothly, by myself, so maybe I can get through the full setup too.
It's my first time with FOSSBilling. . . .
Apologies for the misunderstanding about our messages on Discord. I posted and you kindly replied, but I didn't at all get it that you were expecting a further reply from me.
Honestly, I really am very grateful for your and, your Team's work on FOSSBilling! I wanted to let you guys know that I seemed to get through the initial install. -- Great news, right? If I can do it, anyone can! -- So I posted on Discord and also on the FOSSBilling forum. But I respect that, if I ask lots of questions, answering my questions takes your time away from further FOSSBilling development. So I won't be asking questions unless I get really, really stuck plus have researched the issues on Google and come up dry.
If someone on the FOSSBilling team wants to volunteer to help me further setup and configure FOSSBilling, then, haha, we can do two or three screen sharing sessions, deal with my many questions, and give me a tour of the source code. But only if it's fun for you guys, and only if it doesn't take away from your time allocated to further development.
Thanks so much for FOSSBilling!
Good news!
@babywhale
I see you are here, so your presence gives me a chance to say thank you, again, for awesome BashVM!
BashVM works great for me! BashVM is a wonderful contribution to open source!
No worries, just wasn't sure if you missed it.
You're always welcome to ask questions if you need any help or just want some more information about something. Feedback from real-world use in invaluable, and I'm sure there are some rough edges you'll come across that we need to fix 😅.
If you'd like a walkthrough, I'm sure that could be arranged with one of the team once things settle down a bit after the latest release (we have a patch release due soon™️).
Glad you're finding it useful and look forward to your comments/feedback! ❤️
@adly
Thanks for your reply here!
Yes, I think I would like the walkthrough. When the time is right.
Thanks again!
Best!
Tom
I send you a message on Discord and here with the info, let me know if you need anything.

The fact you have to do this to get his attention
Typical yerect behaviour tbh
Eric POV:
Great offer
When ready to order ?
Great news!
FOSSVPS is talking with two Providers about server donations!
If another Provider, or two, want to hop on, now would be a great time!
Thanks very much!
