if anyone is interested I was able to install debian with LUKS encryption via ipxe and netboot because it looks like there is no custom ISO support. Here are the instructions

Go into the VNC and select hard reboot. Spam escape and then select ipxe which I think is option 4, then hit control B to bring up the console. (You can do control by using the option to the left of the VNC panel)

Now run the following. x.x.x.x is your IP from Ava

set net0/ip x.x.x.x
set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0
set net0/gateway x.x.x.1
set net0/dns 1.1.1.1
ifopen net0
chain --autofree http://boot.netboot.xyz

This I think booted into another ipxe console where I had to do this again so repeat if needed. Once you select Debian you will have to enter this information again manually during the install. Select encrypted LVM with LUKS and cancel when it's formatting the volume (I did this just in case because I ran into bad issues on another Debian install not sure if it's needed).

good luck!

You can also download the netboot image and kernel and add them as a GRUB boot target. Then reboot into that GRUB target and it will allow you to install Debian directly just as if you booted the netboot ISO.

Thanks forest! I was aware there were a couple of different methods but I'm a little more familiar with the ipxe console so decided to go that route. I may try the grub one in the future so thanks! Does putting it in grub make the networking any easier? I've noticed in ipxe I always have to put all the ip stuff manually and it was a nightmare on ipv6 only machines

Yeah, putting it in the bootloader and selecting it at reboot is identical to booting from the netboot ISO directly. As far as the computer is concerned, there's no difference between a syslinux bootloader on the ISO loading netboot and a GRUB2 bootloader on the main drive loading netboot.

You do have to start out with a functioning system though even if it's just some random Linux template, that's the only difference. And because the template will already have networking configured, you don't have to go through any iPXE magic. It'll work as long as you can run wget and update-grub, basically.

forest

@buzzyLET You can just run this script as root:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir /netboot
wget -P /netboot https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz}
cat << EOF >> /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Debian netboot" {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod ext2

    search --no-floppy --file --set=root /netboot/linux

    linux /netboot/linux priority=low vga=788 --- quiet
    initrd /netboot/initrd.gz
}
EOF
update-grub
grub-reboot "Debian netboot"
reboot

And you'll reboot into the Debian latest installer in expert mode (remove priority=low if you want normal mode).

@forest Thanks so much for that script, I'll for sure save it and try it next time!

Quoting your post is triggering a cloudflare block on my end weirdly so I'll just tag you

@AvaHosting said: We just require a valid and real email address, now it remains on your side.

@AvaHosting said: We don't ask for KYC if you pay with Crypto.

This is a bit confusing, help?

You only want email, but then you'll want KYC info unless we pay via crypto?

Hi.

That means that payment method usually and most of times KYC is not required. Compared with other payment methods if you use VPN, TOR, Proxy with Bad Rep and using temporary email address or email that is registered in some Anti-Fraud database or blacklisting it may trigger the order and change to 'Suspicious' or "Fraud"

That is the reason why we advice users to use Crypto instead normal payments.

Out of stock?

Yes it vanished quickly, that's why we told LIMITED stock.

@rm_ said:

@AvaHosting said: but LIMITED STOCK

Did you have like... 5 of those in stock? Enough for clickbait, and now we all just say OH WELL and buy the overpriced plans instead.

Also no IPv6 mentioned anywhere aside from LG.

Hi.

Where is the evidence of that?
This is not clickbait, we told that we had LIMITED STOCK not only in title and in thread also. We really have limited stock.

You aren't forced to buy from us. However, evidence? Where is?

We had about ~20-25 servers in Stock in the time that we published this thread. It varnished very quickly, less than ~1h?

We have limited stock for this VPS, there is not clickbait here. Just the truth and the truth is this plan is very limited. Also we posted in other forum, channel and telegram.

Regarding IPv6, it is available, just ask in ticket and we will add IPv6 to your VPS Nano.

To be fair it was available when i posted earlier. Certainly can't have been a lot though.

Hi,

Correct

We had about ~20-25 in stock when we published this thread. It varnished quickly than excepted.

@AvaHosting , can i get ipv6 only vps "Nano" ?

Hi.

Yes, just request through ticket to add IPv6 and we will do it.

@buzzyLET said:
They restocked!! was able to get one, thank you very much @AvaHosting

Hi.

Looks like someone that had pending order, didn't paid or someone didn't paid their current plan and it got free in stock.

We didn't added, we only add if some customer gave up or didn't paid or that was under "pending" and not paid.

If you wish IPv6 we can add, ask in ticket

Kind Regards,
Ava.hosting

Looks like I'm late

Open a ticket support and ask if there is "pending" order that wasn't paid yet, maybe we can deliver to you. We don't restock too soon, other option if to get it from someone else.

Open a ticket support and we will see if we have any free available.

Kind Regards,

My understanding was that an Alexhost employee operates Avahost and that the latter uses the former's infrastructure. I still don't fully understand why this was necessary, but I appreciate that Avahost offers VPS Nano since Alexhost's plans are ridiculously expensive given the specs and hardware.

Alexhost had something like 2GB ram for 11 euro per year, so similar plan

AlexHost had the same plan some years ago.

Later, they stopped providing it. And afterwards, AvaHosting came out.

Intersting, I wasn't aware of that. 2 GB is much better than 512 MB I'll say.

Yes but since it has been discontinued, 512MB is better than 2 imaginary GB + unlimited traffic is nice.

for paypal payment is KYC required? why?

AvaHosting

@JasonM said:

Hi.

We don't ask for KYC. That happens probably because of VPN, TOR or IP Rep or even email address + name doesn't fit Paypal Gateway.

The cases are lower.
