    Cool, thanks for the answer.

  • i like how pulsedmedia sell shell accounts. This is how it should be done. Root accounts should not be commoditised for endusers. It is asking for problems. In my dba kingdom giving dba rights to mortals in databases always gave more probs then it helped.
    Keep up the good work @PulsedMedia!

    Is SFTP traffic included in traffic limits/allotment?

    I noticed on the page you linked it says:

    Fast Downloads
    FTP and SFTP download speeds are always unrestricted at full server link speed — even if you meet the traffic limit.

    But on the limits wiki and from my support tickets with Väinämöinen all external traffic was included (though the support tickets might be a misunderstanding on my part):

    Pulsed Media distinguishes between two kinds of traffic, and only one counts toward your cap:
    Internal — traffic between Pulsed Media servers within the same datacenter. Multi-box workflows, storage offload, archive sync between your seedbox and a Pulsed Media storage box. Internal traffic is not counted toward your monthly cap at all. Not throttled, not metered, not capped.
    External — traffic to and from the public internet. This is what the monthly cap measures and what the throttle applies to.
    Torrent traffic with peers on the public internet is external. SFTP downloads from your seedbox to your home connection are external. Internal moves between PM-owned servers are not.

  • If both are true: it counts against it, but will never be restricted if you meet the limit.
    I'm not sure whether that makes a ton of sense, but they're technically not mutually exclusive.

    that is severely outdated, open a ticket about that, you deserve credit for noticing. It used to be that only rtorrent gets limited, now everything gets.

    All outgoing is counted regardless of protocol as well. I'll have that updated.

    The only difference between storage box and seed box is that storage box is optimized for capacity over speed?

  • @cloromorpho said: The only difference between storage box and seed box is that storage box is optimized for capacity over speed?

    Depending on your definition of "optimized" yes.

    Consider the following storagebox

    Eternal Väinämöinen - Storage 1TB R5 10G
    1TB HDD RAID5 Storage
    250MiB RAM
    I/O Priority Archive (2)
    CPU Cores 0.5 Cores
    CPU Priority Archive (100)
    Traffic Internet Ingress Unlimited 10Gbps, Egress 250GiB/Month @ 10Gbps then 100Mbps down to 25Mbps
    Traffic Internal Internal Unlimited @ 10Gbps both ways

    Verse this Seedbox

    Eternal Väinämöinen - Seedbox 1TB R5 10G
    1TB HDD RAID5 Storage
    1 000MiB RAM
    I/O Priority Standard (100)
    CPU Cores 2 Cores
    CPU Priority Performance (500)
    Traffic Internet Ingress Unlimited 10Gbps, Egress 10 000GiB/Month @ 10Gbps then 100Mbps down to 25Mbps
    Traffic Internal Internal Unlimited @ 10Gbps both ways

    So Seedboxes you get more RAM, higher I/O priority, CPU cores, CPU Priority, and much HIGH monthly high speed traffic. The higher performance here "should" allow you to run the media stack, if you so desire (for jellyfin/*arr apps, etc.)

    On both: You get the exact same shared 10Gbps Port speed, Storage, and HDD/Raid 5 configuration.

    Who cares?

    No one needs more shit on the net, pulsedmedia puts more shit on the net anyway.

    Disgusting llm slop.

    Don't forget to take your pills, mate.

    That's great advice but not very helpful. Why don't you send him a reminder each time you take yours?

    That would help more.

  • When new DC with new minidedis?

    Do you have any "seedbox" with GPU/igpu? tyvm

    @TimboJones said: Every server will be running from swap and all hosts on the node will suffer.

    Is there evidence that the host is using swap?

    Can you run 256MB RAM without swap and without crashing?

    Oh, you meant the guest would be using swap and the node would suffer from I/O. I thought you meant the host was using swap to oversell RAM.

    But yeah, Alpine and rtorrent can easily fit in 256 MB without thrashing the disk. If every idiot tries to install Debian or Ubuntu though, it'll be a clusterfuck.

    Install is one thing, but can you use it to download a week of TV without it shitting the bed? 10 x 10GB active torrents? Actual use cases.

    @TimboJones said: Install is one thing, but can you use it to download a week of TV without it shitting the bed? 10 x 10GB active torrents? Actual use cases.

    Easily, since rtorrent is incredibly lightweight in operation. As long as the disk isn't too slow (since you won't have much page cache), you could maintain hundreds of active torrents.

    With lots of random read and writes? Curious from someone actually running this stable. The general feedback I took from these seedboxes over the years is that they regularly shit the bed.

    I got shitloads of RAM, so I run QB.

    I have no idea about PulsedMedia's setup (don't they use LXC?), but Alpine and rtorrent can realistically handle that with just 256 MB memory. You might not be able to do fancy firewall rules with conntrack, and you probably won't be able to make full use of a fast network port if you don't have an NVMe, but it should run just fine and remain stable.

    @PulseMedia

    I have three simple questions and a remark.

    I never used torrent or the like, so I'm a total noob with that. But no problem (I thought) as I had planned to use it as storage only (and maybe, just maybe, sometimes later learn about the torrent stuff).
    Unfortunately you pretty much shocked and overwhelmed me (again, I'm a noob with that, and maybe my feedback is helpful to you) by welcoming me on a web page with tons and tons of stuff - but no simple info, at all (plus that Vinäi[whatever] beast seems to be on meth and dumping way too much blabla at us).

    So,

    • question 1: Is there a simple way to login to a simple ssh shell? If so, please point me to the relevant KB section (preferably without ai slop)
    • question 2: Is there a way to use scp to put files on or get files from the seed box? If so, please point me to the relevant KB section (preferably without ai slop)
    • question 3: How can I install some linux program in my seedbox? Please point me to the relevant KB section (preferably without ai slop)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Q1: just use ssh username@*.mcx.fi (username and password sent to you via email, or add public key)
    Q2: Yes, the same as Q1
    Q3: no root. Just use docker image or portable binary
