Looking for a Redhat CodeReady Container Server EU/CH only
Hi,
After getting annoyed with my current provider I thought I could try and outsource this request.
We need a box that can run CRC (=Openshift) in a proven way. Sick of trying out various OSs and something else breaks each time. I would need a screenshot or some other proof that it works, takes about 20 minutes to install, most of which is waiting around.
Minimum system requirements: 16GB RAM, 100GB HDD, 4-core CPU.
Preferably invoice; some kind of tech support is appreciated, even though I'm handy with most *nix stuff.
I don't have a target price in mind but DigitalOcean and Vultr have good-specced machines for 80$/mo.
It has to be located in the EU or Switzerland, that's a requirement.
Thanks in advance

I had this exact issue. F***ing Red Hat purposefully makes it harder if you want to host things yourself. Spent days trying to get Eclipse Che to run but I could never get it fully working.
Please post an update here once you get manage to make it work.
We can offer you a Dedicated Server with the following configuration:
Intel XEON E5640

@MivoCloud sorry, but it has to be EU or preferably CH. Moldova is in Europe but not EU.
Just to spare some people the trouble of trying: Ubuntu is not officially supported and currently does not work in a proper way (ha-proxy and vsock conflict). RHCOS and CentOS have issues when running under KVM, possibly related to AMD processors. Virtualization extensions need to be enabled for the vCPU, if running under a VM.
Do you mean you would prefer post-paid?
Do you know which distro works best? I presume RHEL is their preference, but any others suitable? Happy to try an install to check how well it works - we're not using AMD and have host passthrough, nested virt, etc enabled.
If you have had issues with virtualized environments in the past, perhaps a dedicated machine is more appropriate, if your comparing prices against DO/Vultr - Hetzner may be good and falls well under that.
An EX42-NVMe (i7 6700k, 64GB RAM, 2 x 512GB NVMe disk) is 39 euros + VAT if hosted in Germany. (there is a setup fee however)
oracle cloud should do ya good
Thank you everyone for the replies.
@Mr_Tom no, prepaid is fine. But there might be some providers here serving on the gray market (i.e. no contract, no invoice) and I would like to avoid those for this job. I've tested on a BM with Fedora (33?) and it looked ok. Also there was a blog post about someone installing it on a DigitalOcean with Fedora 32 and it also worked ok: https://evanshortiss.com/code-ready-containers-on-digital-ocean
Basically the CRC VM (it's using libkvm virsh) should boot and the demo page should show up, then the machine is 90% there. There is another test that was failing on Ubuntu due to ha-proxy and dnsmasq and resolvd fighting each other. A basic quickstart deployment (any web page from the tutorial, takes ~5 mins) should resolve to its respective domain, i.e. the internal CRC DNS should work.
@LordSpock exactly, double-virtualization might cause issues with CRC. Hetzner looks good, don't know how I missed it.
@skorupion I really don't understand the OCI pricing. Their online calculator shows me order codes without telling me what they are.
Ah okay, just clarifying
I figured Fedora would likely work. I'll have a play.
Can confirm it appears to work in a Fedora KVM:
Cool, thank you for the time, wrote you a PM.
Hello,
We can offer you a Dedicated Server in Romania (Romania is the country in the European Union).
