Hello @Not_Oles
Can i get one for host a small website?
I want dedicated v4
Sorry from my first post did not cover any opensource tool, I'm going to elaborate more. for gathering certificate tranparency logs i would use gungnir and for dns and http enumeration i would use dnsx and httpx respectively , so much respect and kind regards to @Not_Oles and others I don't know providing this opportunity.
Everyone wants one
Since the amount of IPs (v4) are limited, i think it's best to only assign them to people/vps who really need them. I think most use cases can be ran on ipv6-only or NAT perfectly fine!
Dedicated IPv4 makes it easier to set up a running environment, and the network is smoother and more stable. The software I'm running is all open source, so there are no copyright issues. Thank you for your concern.
Hi!
Is the website open source? Also, can you tell me a bit more about it?
Regards,
Bas and the FOSSVPS team.
Hi @Not_Oles
It looks like you may have missed this. Have I perhaps not made the cut? If so, please let me know. Thanks!
(sorry for saying please and thanks xD)
Hi @forgani!
Thanks for posting more details.
Unless @dan_onlyservers or others object, I expect to go ahead, probably tomorrow, and DM you VPS login credentials.
I would like to learn more about what you are doing.
As things develop, maybe you could please post updates about your install process?
After you get everything installed, maybe you could please post some examples of your findings?
I'm sure you will watch the bandwidth and disk and processor resources you are using.
Looking forward to more posts from you in this thread!
Thanks again! Best wishes!
Tom
Hey @Not_Oles !
I would like a VPS to run a RIPE Atlas Node, I think it's open source and available on Github, here's the link: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe,
Thanks for considering my request!
I will be Running Some Dockerised Applications, which will help me figure out more about live deployments.
It'll be great if I can get a VPS.
Of course! Thanks for asking! Delighted to have you aboard!
I will PM you login info. I will post here again when the PM is sent.
Could you please share a few specific details?
How about enabling other members to see your email address on your profile?
Do you have a website? I'd love to see it!
Best wishes!
Tom
PM sent. Have fun!
@BasToTheMax Thanks for checking! Much appreciated!
How To Get Your Request Approved
When somebody posts a request, and they have stuff like:
This isn't a list of rules or requirements. Just a few ideas to consider when writing your request.
More, or different stuff, might be okay. . . . Even brand new LETizens might be okay.
The more effort you invest in your request, the more likely your request will be approved.
Once you are in, it's lovely to post a little about what you are doing and how everything is going. Your contributions to higher quality discussion make it more likely that Providers will continue to donate servers and that FOSSVPS will continue giving away free VPSes to the community.
Thanks @fmxm, @alexhost, @dan_onlyservers, @babywhale, @BasToTheMax.
Thanks to the about to be announced Provider who said he might donate a server next week!
@Not_Oles I'll asure you to post on this thread about my progess seting up gungnir and monitoring certificate logs, as an example I post domain certificates (subject name) for a site you choose.
Hugs to you and @dan_onlyservers , and all other charities donating server. it's so generous of all of you
Haha, probably FOSSVPS.org might make a good example to use?
I'd like to test zitadel . I currently use zitadel on my "prod" netbird vps and authentik for some other apps on another vps, so it would be nice to have 1 SSO product, I just need somewhere to test zitadel that's not in "production"
Thanks for providing this type of service and for your time.
edit - wasn't finished with post request prior to clicking post
Hi @darkknight! Can you use NAT IPv4? Thanks!
I think so..I've only used dedicated ipv4, but I'm not opposed to trying. Thank you!
Edit - added thx
@darkknight!
Thanks! I just PM'd you login info.
Please post here to let us know how things are going and the progress you are making.
The better the posts we have here, the more likely it is that Providers will be willing to donate more servers! So you rposts are important!
Glad to have you with us!
Always best wishes!
Tom
Thanks, I was able to login. I'll test out zitadel starting tomorrow.
Gradually getting on track.
I'd like to set up a Personal MCP server
I think NAT is ok if I get port 443
I think we should have a reverse proxy installed on the node so everyone can connect their domains!
@Not_Oles what do you think?
I use Nginx Proxy Manager and it works very well. Allows user account creation / login via email address (which may be a problem). It uses Docker so may also be a problem?
Just a suggestion.
Interesting suggestion! I have to study up. I've not used a reverse proxy yet. I've hardly touched Docker.
Would it work equally well for people to use a CDN with their NAT servers? If not, may I please ask why?
Not that I am against a reverse proxy (I don't know enough to decide), but, do they have disadvantages? What? Why?
I hear about people using Nginx for a reverse proxy. Can Apache do it? Caddy?
I prefer nginx as a reverse proxy. I also tried caddy a few days ago, but i don't like the fact that I have to recompile to add a module. Like, recently, I wanted to limit/throttle the speed. Sadly this was a separate module that was not provided by default.
I don't really like apache.
For FOSSVPS: my idea is to install a reverse proxy on the host, so people with a NAT vps can still connect a domain!
I think functionally, using a CDN or using a reverse proxy would both work to make multiple sites available on a shared IP address. I think roughly, the difference is that a reverse proxy (as in provided alongside the NAT service) would be operated by the host's operator, and could be chosen to match the specifics of the NAT setup, if any. With a CDN, the users of the NATed service would need to handle the CDN aspects themselves, including making it work (unless the host takes care of that as well). E.g., I have no experience in whether forwarding to unusual port numbers could be an issue where closer matching between NAT setup and CDN would be required.
A lot of web servers typically also support a reverse proxy mode, so it depends a bit on whether there is any experience yet with a specific web server so this would be just an add-on to already existing familiarity with such a server and how to configure it.
And it depends on what needs to be achieved, e.g., in terms of functionality and performance. If there isn't familiarity yet with a web server, it might be easier to start with a dedicated proxy implementation so as to not have to peel out the proxy-specific parts from the documentation.
Full-grown proxies can still have a scary ton of options to set and select from, so when scenarios to be covered, and performance requirements aren't too demanding, rather simple implementations like
tinyproxymight be an option (but, e.g., I think it might not support https). And e.g. I personally found Apachetrafficservera bit easier to deal with than others, but also that had some learning curve for me, so it is largely a matter of taste and familiarity.
