@emgh it’s great that you are donating your RISE-S to FOSSVPS. It’s nice to be generous for once
Wh
What
Moar servers!
VPS cost $2 this days I don't think anyone needs this
Hey im glad you think of that! i have been looking into integration with fossbilling
thank you tom, this vps is pretty good for my vpn. i hope your generous community will grow bigger
@igctt Thanks for your report! I'm delighted to hear that your VPS is working for you! Best wishes!
Will it be a copy of FreeVPS ?
why not swap to Paymenter? it is open source and free
Just use a nulled whmcs , it’s also free
Be launched in 2099.
Thanks again, @netixen! Thanks again to @dan_onlyservers! Thanks especially for the extra IPs.
The first FOSSVPS.org server has been delivered!
Please don't post requests yet. Not quite ready. I have to raise a ticket for IPv6 and ask @jbiloh for permission to run yet another giveaway.
Maybe reinstall with Debian? What about BSD?
Does anybody want to help with system administration?
Here's an initial yabs. Fast network!
I want to launch before 03:14:08 UTC on 19 January 2038.
FreeVPS is really great, as are all the guys on the Team over there.
One difference between FreeVPS and FOSSVPS is . . . more capital letters! /s
Other differences include that FOSSVPS will use only free, open source software (FOSS).
Best wishes!
congrats @Not_Oles i love whatever this is for you
a real HostCock / Yaoiyun competitor!!
FreeCock when
Alpine Linux would be 🔥
@BasToTheMax
Thanks for the suggestion!
I did do a server giveaway, awhile back, with Alpine! We had a lot of fun with that server! Maybe another Alpine server should happen now or before too long.
Oh cool !
The guys at FOSSBilling seem to have a great attitude and a friendly community.
Nevertheless, Paymenter also is under consideration. As you know, Paymenter is based on Laravel PHP, which is fine, and FOSSBilling is based on older, non-Laravel PHP (from BoxBilling).
I heard that FOSSBilling might be moving toward installing Symfony components.
I have a FOSSBilling install underway, and a friend with lots of Laravel experience is installing Paymenterr. Maybe I will try Paymenter too.
If you could please explain the specific reasons why you prefer Paymenter, or why you think Paymenter would be better for FOSSVPS, I'd love to hear the reasons.
Thanks!
Corwin is spending a lot of time to develop Paymenter, fixes came very quick, community is more helpful in any case, it is more stable solution than FOSSBilling, worth to try
There is also plenty of addons and will be comming more soon
Nice, I've never used it before, but would be really interested to give it a try, maybe that would be the chance.
Good progress! OnlyServers quickly responded to my ticket, and IPv6 has been added. LET Ticket for giveaway permission raised. VPSes still need to be created and tested. Maybe a reinstall.
For @sh97:
Progress!
Here is yabs for a test VPS. Need to adjust the network to use macvtap, add IPv6, and make more VPSes. Then it will be time to start the giveaway, which already has been approved by @jbiloh. Thanks Jon! Thanks again to @dan_onlyservers for the server and to @netixen for facilitating the donation.
I could use help with the specifications for the VPSes.
Here's what we have on the Node:
The extra IPv4/29 is routed, so I think we can use all 8 of the IPs in the /29 with macvtap.
I kind of imagined 8 IPv4 plus IPv6 VPSes, each with 4 vCores and 8 GB of RAM.
Plus, another 8 VPses with IPv6 only. Also 8 GB RAM.
That's 16 VPSes all together.
The disks are RAID 1, and at 100 GB for each VPS, the disks would be oversold overgiven. Not everyone uses the entire allocation. But maybe it would be better to decrease the disk allocation generally?
An alternative to the 8 IPv6 only VPSes would be for the additional 8 VPSes to use NAT port forwarding for IPv4 plus IPv6.
Another alternative might be to just stick with 8 VPSes, but give each of them more cores and more RAM and more disk?
Does anyone have ideas for the VPS configuration? Thanks!
I bet about sexy LET users and SEXY LET times
AI suggests as follows. What do you think?
Option 2: Fewer, "Bigger" VPSes (e.g. 8 with all resources)
Per VPS:
vCPU: 6–8 (6×8=48, 8×8=64; better fits 20 real threads, but still overcommitted for 8 vCPUs each)
RAM: 16 GB (uses 128 GB fully)
Disk: 150 GB (8×150=1.2 TB, fits physical RAID volume)
IPv4: 1 per VPS direct (from /29)
IPv6: Plenty
Pros:
Cons:
Hey @Not_Oles
My recommendation would be to do it as follows:
8GB RAM, 6vCores, 60 GB SSD, 1 ipv4 and 1 IPv6 /64.
16 GB ram 😳
