I would say that leaving your public key there surely qualifies as a backdoor, even if it was quickly corrected.
OK, so that's new information. To be completely transparent, Francisco contacted me and raised the concern. I have no problem if your template is fixed but that wasn't the case when Francisco talked to me.
I appreciate that at least now you told the truth. Thank you sir.
@Nyr - It wasn't really a backdoor as SSH wasn't accepting publickey login, but only password. Also those keys were for the "default user" ubuntu require when installing, which was deleted afterwards. So, either way, you wouldn't be able to login with those.
Now the thing was fixed.
Thanks. I got this warning while running
apt-get upgrade:Configuring libc6──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Kernel version not supported │

Well of course, that is because you are using openvz. Openvz forces 2.6 kernel, this the error. If you want it fixed use kvm or lxc.
I used a Proxmox lxc template and spiffed it up for OpenVZ, working great on my Solus VZ nodes
Were you able to get passed 2.6 kernel on ovz?
No issue, Openvz is 2.6.32 and
apt-get update & & apt-get upgradedidn't bitch at all, but getting the console working in Proxmox is still waging war with meHow do I know it's faster? Because I'm using it and see it first hand and as @Nyr has said, there's a wealth of benchmarks that show the speed improvements. You're absolutely correct that new and shiny isn't always better but Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is a solid server distro supported for 5 years and PHP7 has been out for awhile now. I have servers running Debian 8 and running Ubuntu 16.04 and both are great.
@elgs - That's a KVM template, not an OVZ.
Aha! Thanks.
Full explanation:
I'm not trying to stir the pot on this or start drama, I simply don't want people getting compromised over someones good intentions, that's all.
Francisco
It was a misunderstanding
It was @Andreix's good intentions by releasing the template for those interested to use
Anyway, if its been fixed up and there's an auto regenerate option, then fantastic.
Francisco
I think Tim is just making an internal joke :P
It was just a misunderstanding.
Oh this is the new 'do the needful'.
I hate you all
Francisco
Whatever, drama queen!
Only thing worth upgrading to this for is systemd and already using Debian 8 for that. Don't care about the PHP stuff. Just want it as stable as possible and php7 looks to me to be too new and shiny to be stable and secure.
I doubt PHP7 is much faster on an apples to apples using the same built in functions. Probably some new functions that make it faster. Anyways, php5 works just fine for what I am doing.
What? People upgrade for systemd? Is it really that good? Not used to it argh, I don't get it... Maybe I should really go do some reading up about that.
Not sure what your point is. Unless you plan to fight systemd to the bitter end or something which is completely illogical and futile but best of luck with that skippy. I think you will have about as much luck as declaring yourself a sovereign citizen not required to pay your taxes.
Sigh. Opens systemd manual.
LTS gave me sanity, and now THIS
