integrated graphics VPS

I don't need a GPU.

Resource requests are flexible in the bargain direction except ram minimum, and minimum diskspace. (I bought a 'bargain' vps to learn 10g disk space is crippling)

This will run one or two of: docker jlesage/firefox, gluetun, and two amnezia dockers for myself. this dockerized firefox uses xvnc delivered over https. I will not use the soundless vnc option. At some point it will instead run github: m1k1o/neko with m1k1o/neko-rooms also personal/family use.

I do not use torrent, send bulk email, dig in mines, break laws, or attempt world domination. This is not for production. This is hobby level, learning stuff. I won't burn through the bargain bugging you with tickets. I prefer to sort it out myself.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800G has integrated graphics. I am not a Ryzen expert. Nor am I attached to that chipset. Older is fine also. iGPU, integrated graphics, or AMU. Or something similar? Firefox has not been doing well on Epyc prior to Genoa or Xeon other than gold with at least 6c16r. CPU extensions AVX2, AVX512, SSE4 seem insufficient alone for HD youtube playback. I have paid to learn what does not work. It's been an entertaining experience on this forum. I have purchased half a dozenish accounts here prior to this request.

I would like to buy 1 month to verify docker firefox experience is not worse than epyc genoa, an option to tinker cpu/ram for performance understanding that invokes price change, then I will convert to annual. Or longer for a great LET bargain. ;) You could become my new favorite bargain. A super high honor I'm sure you'll agree.

KVM

I will use one of these images: unbuntu 22lts, 24lts, debian 13, a current fedora

Number of Cores: 1
RAM: 2.5-4
Disk Space: at least 30g
Disk Type: since this is mostly ram it doesn't matter?

rDNS: greatly preferred

Bandwidth: at least 2TB/month
Port Speed: throughput not less than 500Mbps symmetric best effort. VPS-to-internet-direction more preferred (not the toward me direction)

I like certain providers here with 2*10g port routinely delivering 900Mbps to me and 1.3Gbps to other places.

DDoS Protection:
would be nice to be able to disable for ports or entirely in case it breaks Amnezia Wireguard (udp). I am running zero public services. If you require it I won't toy with Amnezia much.

VPS firewall control preferred.

All these services will prompt for authentication.

Number of IPs:
1 ipv4, and ipv6

While I am not running email having a blacklisted address does trigger more captcha. clean is better. I will create MX resource records but another service provides domain email.

It would be better if your ASN registration does not identify as hosting. ASN "private customer" preferred. I really don't like solving captcha or youtube demanding I login to an account I will never create.

Location:
in descending preference: western USA preferred, then central USA, then anywhere USA, even canada, then anywhere with latency below three digits from/to western USA

Budget:
under $50/year, stripe preferred. My credit card can pay in whatever currency. I am not a fan of coinbase right now.

if I'm offbase how far offbase am I?

I like the idea of a prime fast disk and attached slower secondary storage drive with 100g. That is likely outside budget but I would like to know more.

I am not asking for dedicated throughput as I imagine that is costly simply indirectly bemoaning a saturated 10g port on another provider averaging me 215Mbps 2pm-2am

1 or 2 snapshot slots desirable

github: jlesage/docker-firefox

Cheers

  • Old intels with igpu handles 720p 30fps
    For above 1080p and 60fps i think you need at least gen 10.

  • You are looking for much more than 50/yr because no one else can use the igpu

    You're tube with video playing use several GB for me memories even worse if left running for autoplay lengthy time. May not left for OS enough

    iGPU VPS is impossible. You can't pass-through the iGPU to a VPS. The main server input/output ports wouldn't work anymore and you'd create a hardware loop and lots of issues. Trust me - I spent a week trying do just that because I wanted to be able to put a VM output directly to TV and everytime you activate the iGPU pass-through, screen will go black and nothing will work either on the VM or the main system except you kill all graphics on the main host.

    What you need is a low-end GPU VPS. There are plenty that do offer normal GPU pass-through, some with even tiny low-end cards. But iGPU is out of the question 100% unless the host has multiple GPUs and another GPU is the main output, which would be a waste entirely for that server.

  • Is an AMD CPU ending in a G the next best thing? @avsisp

  • For youtube? No
    For videogames they give much better performance but for that i suggest dgpu

    Thanked by 1avsisp
  • not so much youtube but the firefox operation itself. It benefits from CPU extensions AVX AVX2 AVX512. I have been tinkering to squeeze performance out of even E5v2 (one core won't cut it) or Epyc Rome (zen2).

    Interestingly (to me) docker firefox is one of the metrics I have been using to evaluate VPS. Fair or not I also use speed.cloudflare.com packet loss test (from laptop and each successively acquired other VPS).

  • Some VPS providers have hinted more virtualized graphics can be exposed. I'm not yet sure how to interpret the hint.

  • avsispavsisp Member, Patron Provider

    Yes - graphics can be virtualized in many ways. Passing through an entire iGPU isn't one of them. Giving the VM more Graphics/Video memory, changing virtualization model, etc can sometimes help. And of course, the more cores you have, especially if dedicated cores - the better.
