    Is it good enough (1GB server) to run a simple private Minecraft server for my girls?

    @forumsuk -- I've seen this be done by clients before (likely with some heavy optimizations), but I would imagine 2 GB RAM or higher would be likely be more ideal for this.

    Oh, I see. You'd try contacting live chat on the website to see if they can accommodate your custom request. Else, dustinc, the CEO is always here.

    https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Server/Requirements/Dedicated - "Note that these requirements are for the server only you will need to allocate more resources to the OS!"

    So yes, 2GB+ RAM would likely meet your needs.

    Remember Robin Hood sharing the wealth? OpenVZ did the same for VPS, making it accessible to the masses through free and open-source software.

    Very cheap as well, compared to KVM. But, can OpenVZ do everything a low-level KVM can do? Asking cause my knowledge in the area is minimal.

    @noob404 -- It is quite antiquated/old school nowadays, we retired our OpenVZ product line IIRC in ~2020 and gave all of our clients that were still on OpenVZ, a free upgrade to our KVM virtualization product line.

    Consumers prefer KVM, and also from a provider perspective, KVM is much better as its "full" virtualization whereas OpenVZ is "containers". With OpenVZ there are certain modules (i.e. TUN/TAP) that need to be enabled from the host node side, also it shares the host node kernel with every container so VM's are unable to run their own kernels. With KVM you can also mount/install your own ISO, which is awesome.

    Hi @PepePepperoni -- All available packages we have for the New Year sale are listed at https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/ - though we are not limited to the packages listed here. Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] with a description of your full specification requirements, and I'll be happy to put together a custom package/quote for you based around your needs. We have certainly done larger-sized virtual servers for custom requests before, so we can definitely help. Just all depends on what you need.

    BTW, anybody here running unmanaged KVM (Ubuntu), what'd be the best way to backup the whole OS running a webserver before updating it? I have heard bad things that happen during an update, but, updates are necessary. So, I need a way to restore if something were to go wrong.
    When I say backup, I mean full backup which can be restored such that, the pre-update is OS is retrieved with the files and everything. Is something like that possible on Ubuntu?
    Checked apps like Timeshift, but found they do partial backups at best.

    There are many ways, it depends what you are looking for!!

    In easier terms see openvz as a container-based virtualization, Microsoft is doing something similar with their WSL.

    So, LXC, if I am not wrong?

    Close, LXC is also very similar to OpenVZ but can't be said to be exact same thing.

    To add to the conversation, OVZ, LXC, any containerization limits your VM to only features that are enabled by the host/containerization type. Not everything works on containers, if you need something really low level, it might not work. Some providers do enable features on request, but not everything is possible. On the other hand, KVM is a full virtualized environment, so you can do whatever you want. It may not be optimal, but will work if you have enough resources.

    Got it. Have some experience with LXC working on Proxmox, but OpenVZ is alien to me. Thanks a lot, everyone.

    There was one more, Xen and it was pretty awesome before KVM got his fame.

    Yeah, heard about Xen and ESXi as well. These are mostly used by huge corporates I believe.

    I still remember the days on LEB when Xen and OpenVZ were quite popular :) Nowdays, you rarely hear of these two. KVM definitely took the fame :)
