@merlinvn understandable... looking into adding some minimal templates with less OS usage.
meanwhile if anyone is having issue open a ticket & will be increased to 2GB
Yup, tried install Nginx + mariadb + php stack on that 1Gb and failed. Even with the minimal Centos Image. Lazy to optimize hdd and turn it to a Wireguard Vpn.
I agree that Nginx + mariadb + php stack will take for around 1.5 GB disk
Btw this is fresh install Debian 10.7 LXC, 128 MB memory and 1 GB disk.
After apt update && apt upgrade, then reboot
That still wouldn't tell me what it is relative to, and why would I want to install some huge OS on such a small disk?
A 5GB disk is so huge for KVM that I partition it into 3 and run multiple LXC containers with a total usage under 400MB. 1GB is heaps for many use cases.
As they mentioned above, there is only 1 minimal centos option, for debian or ubutu, there is no minimal image 😅. If you spend 4$ with them, you will know what I said 😁
Oh, I see it is OVZ so you are stuck with the templates offered. OK. I stopped using OVZ.
Updated: @WebHorizon has increased my disk size to 2Gb. Big thanks for your support.
Just curious - were you able to update locales (with say
en_US.UTF-8
)?I'm running into OOM issues on 128MB NAT boxes for UTF-8 though I think I've managed to get them to work on 256MB instances. This is on OpenVZ7 with no swap.
Any command that I can use to update the locales?
dpkg-reconfigure locales
and selecten_US.UTF-8
(only is fine to test).This is the result: https://i.gyazo.com/e03bc1ff1a7ce512ee488d0ded985594.png
Thank you. Confirmed. The
Killed
is culprit. Your syslog should confirm that the OOM was triggered.I think on Debian 10+, 128MB is going to be impossible with UTF-8 if you want to generate locales locally. Even with your 128MB Swap it failed - so I think it's going to be a tough call on anything less than 384MB (or maybe 512MB) (including swap).
If you don't mind my curiosity, that'd Debian 10 Minimal, I suppose, not "regular" Debian?
Also do you have anything else installed, or it's just clean fresh install?
Yes, but I don't even use locales.
Yes, that is fresh install, it is debian 10 "Standard" LXC template.
Thanks! Was looking to compare RAM usage to the "Minimal" template, now unsure.
Don't you happen to know how "Standard LXC" template you mentioned is different from the "Minimal" templates used in OpenVZ and KVM?
Or that varies from one host to another? Don't have any LXC VPSes, so can't check myself.
I am not sure about that. What I know, KVM will take more resources as you need independent kernel.
Debian 10 Standard LXC 128 MB with Wireguard (Nyr installation), update & upgrade system, and installed tools like
curl wget htop screen mtr-tiny
And this one is Debian 10 netinst KVM 256 MB with Wireguard (Nyr installation), update & upgrade system, and installed tools like
curl wget htop screen mtr-tiny
It's only specifically required (in my case) for UTF-8 support.
Thanks again!
Yes, I know the differences between OVZ and KVM, however completely forgot about RAM usage numbers on KVM.
Will play with this myself once I have some time.
With OpenVZ I was getting about 9 MB for Debian minimal and 6-7 MB for CentOS minimal.
regenerating locales with such low ram systems isn't a good idea, you'd better stay with C.
Just can't help thinking the good old days, when 512MB memory was a huge and expensive thing, and an ovz box of 128MB was good enough for nginx+php5+mysql, with some optimization of course. It seems that I still have some teeny-weeny nat boxes on inceptionhosting, yet I have't used any of them since 4 years ago.
What a tender world it used to be! I really missed it.
It's the old PHP 5 and mysql 5.7 which has low memory footprint vs php 7.4 -php 8.1 and mysql 8.0/mariadb 10.4 now.
I have an 128MB RAM Server with 100GB HDD from Liteserver for only 12 Euros per Year ping @LiteServer for details
Restocking India location anytime soon?
Indeed. It makes me to think: really, I mean REALLY, does everyone need all these cutting-edge techs? For me, the database stores no more data than before, and the software running on servers isn't more complex than before. Just noticed that even tinykvm offers KVM box of 386MB memory for only 15 bucks. It might be a good thing, for customers transitioning from a legacy world to the future/fortune, and for providers to sell more boxes out of one dedi.
Not soon, I am still searching for better provider options at India location.
Hong Kong and Japan in Asia hope to replenish as soon as possible, what do you think?
Yes, I think Hong Kong and Japan are in Asia.
Containers provides flexibility to configure "container parameters" as per choice which can be run and tested on kvm vps.
