You need papers for server transfers in the old portal(s). Not with the OVHCloud portal.
Is 15 days significant in the OVH world? Like order expiration or something?
OVH's ToS mentions that, could mean kilswitch for anything that crosses that line.
15 days that couldve been used to idle it hard
For some reason... OVH though its a good idea to put a pisscloud init config file into /etc/ssh_fuckcloudfllare/sshd_config.d to keep allowing password logins....
Indeed.
👀
If you specify an SSH key when installing, I suspect they don't add that file and don't send you a password. I haven't tried.
They don't create such a file. I still remember the time I found out I was still able to login via password while I already edited the sshd_config accordingly to prohibit it.
They should not, in any case, put a config file, that forces password auth.
But how would you login if you don't specify a SSH key during the installation?
Modify the ssh config instead, to make it obvious, you don't expect there to be a config file, in default installs, that overrides shit you put into the normal ssh config.
That's the thing, these ".d" folders allow you to modify the conf without amending the ssh_config file.
If the maintainer of the package decides to update the ssh_config file that's in the package, with a new version (because upstream did so?), you don't get a conflict when updating. You get the new configuration file and you get to keep your modifications.
Then whenever you update the package with APT/DNF etc, you'll get a conflict.
Since years, first ever install, that uses that feature.
Never ever stepped on any template, that used that folder.
You just don't expect it.
Ohh I see. So there would be no need to check these informations while upgrading. Never thought of it to be honest. But I never had problems with it before though. Thanks for clarification!
Exactly. I was reading the fucking man page like 100 times to find out what I did wrong in that config. Read like 100 reddits posts and just couldn't figure out why I was able to login via password. I even copied the config file to others servers to check. I don't even remember how I found the solution in the end.
# Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.confIrritating, sure. Nothing to do with Cloudflare. It was
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/50-cloud-init.confon the Almalinux 9 template I used. Other templates may do something else.Cloudflare blocked my post, several times... hence the fuckcloudflare
Don't get me wrong guys, it drove me insane the first time I encountered that way of doing things, so now I know and I can tell others.
But when I think about it, I've been creating my virtual servers in the ".d" folder of Apache for, like, ever.
The funniest thing is that there is no United States in the countries and regions.
Ohhh.. Interesting, going to chekc my servers for potential extra config files xD
Other funny things : the KS from the ovhcloud portals boot from PXE, and when changing the boot entries with efibootmgr or removing the extra ones, the config is restored with the next reboot. I discovered this after a bootstrap setup.
funny enough is that I have 3x OVH accounts now, but none KS-LE server. lol
Any YABS for KS-A in SGP ?
guess it's too expensive to order one for testing... I see price is USD61.00 per month.
Oh wait !! So it has both NVMe and HDD ?! I just noticed it now
Woahh!! Struck the OVH Lottery there!
Well now I've gone from feeling smug to worried...
Dat is a decent budget, I already burned my BF budget by spending a bit more than 100$ on OVH.
