Enough to overwrite storage 10 times.
2K IOPS = 2000 operations per second
If each operation 4KB e.g. database -> 8MB/s (4KB x 2000)
If larger files 500KB e.g. pictures and documents -> 1GB/s (500KB x 2000)
(Real speed depends on the cache NVMes and HDDs though, IOPS is only defines the upper limit of what you can archieve)
Anyone can tell me what can I do with Storage vps? Will it work same like normal vps? Or only use for backups?
Also, if someone can shed light on how this can be used with nextcloud?
Do you mean, setup nextcloud on some vps and then use this SSHFS/SFTP mounted storage box as a remote storage?
It's the usual: KVM, root access. You can do anything you want with it
It's a normal VPS with large block storage. With an AMD EPYC 9334 CPU you aren't sacrificing performance so it can do most tasks.
Add your domain to DirectAdmin, point your domain to the server IP address and then install Nextcloud via Softaculous for the domain and you are all set :-)
Is it possible to install restic on it so we could backup our Nextcloud instance?
What is the bandwidth limited to when it runs out?
I did install next cloud but it seems that files do not get uploaded.
Can any one confirm if they were able to install it via softaculous and working normally?
I was able to install via Softaculous.
Increased memory limit to 512M using DA and then ran some of the commands using DA's Terminal options. I was able to upload only one file of 25MB after which uploads started to fail and logs were not picking anything up 😔. Then my IP got blocked again 🙍♂️.
I'm just gonna wait a day or 2 so the server is configured properly then try properly. YMMV.
If you get blocked then please open a ticket. It will help to see what rules people are being blocked by.
I truly hate modsecurity.
Thanks for the insight
so the DA Storage Boxes is sucks ?!
I was almost order Reseller DA Storage Boxes
It doesn't suck. It's just raw at this moment. Give it a week to rectify the firewall rules.
There are indeed a few issues that has to be resolved. Setup is quite a bit different than the CloudLinux/Litespeed/Imunify stack that I am used to.
I already asked you to unblock it once but it's dynamic so gonna be a cat-and-mouse game until Blesta unblocking is configured. So it's no bother I'm willing to wait 👍.
Doesn't suck at all.
It's a great deal and Nextcloud seems to be working completely fine. Just gotta wait a few days for the server to get into a stable state. I would recommend buying hands-down.
@labze how can i get ftps working??
tried to put storage box on my nextcloud, so far only success when using ftp. ftps or sftp fail on nextcloud.
sftp (sshfs) work on when mounted on os though..
thank, I'll wait until firewall problem fixed
This is what will make it difficult. Hit and trial. It'll indeed be a cat and mouse.
Irritating days ahead of @labze lol. Everyone should give him time to sort it out. It's a great deal.
Im wondering this as well. Sshfs works fine on a VPS but I think it’s probably a bit better to mount a directory in Nextcloud as Sftp but that errors.
The server has no valid PTR record for both IPv4 and IPv6. I cannot send email to gmail. Please fix.
is the DirectAdmin 500 GB Storage Box basically as usable as Hetzner Storage Boxes? (https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/)
If email is important, then it will be better to use services specific for email. For example, Zoho free tier is very generous with custom domain.
The server has valid PTR record but you don't have private IP address to use it for yourself, that would of course cost a little more. Get any VPS with own address, install mox mailserver, update DNS records and enjoy your private mail.
2 vCore Ryzen 7950x / 2 GB / 40 GB
Can I build my own S3 server on the storage box?
14.2k views, crazy
Can we make 100k boys?
do you install windows just to test the system?
or do you have genuine use cases?
i tried installing windows on some vps but they are very hard to operate from India (through rdp) so i gave up on them.
That one was for testing only. Will reinstall Debian 12 again.
My Windows RDP with @labze HostBrr has 6 vCores Ryzen 7950x and 150 GB + 500 GB storage. This VPS is already in the second year.
wow, that looks like a proper vps i am looking for (ssd and storage with cores)
how much you are paying for that.
