Ultimate Uptime Generator
Whats the most unique or impressive backup/self-healing/replication/failover setup that youve seen/used for VPS
The one ive seen most recent and thought was pretty neat is https://kb.onidel.com/hc/kb/articles/1756043909-self_healing-failover-virtual-machines

I ran some CentOS 7 DNS server for like 950 days before I finally restarted it. That was a BuyVM server.
Raw
Unpatched
Not lubed
Just a 512MB box and an EOL OS VS the world.
You don't need fancy failover and self healing serious setups if you're reckless and retarded.
(but nowadays I use Onidel for production a lot since they're a true competitor to the likes of Vultr and BuyVM and whatnot.)
@oloke what's the trade secret ?
That onidel replication level is I think almost on par with HPE Nonstop system
regards @oloke @onidel

Thanks @aluy @MannDude and @kkoneko !
It's a secret 🤫
lmao
If you can't disclose @onidel 's sauce. I guess you could collaborate with other datacenter-owner hosts like @host_c @PulsedMedia for colo.
Is DRBD involved?
Kinda sucks, we lost our uptimes of 1000+ days on electrical maintenance a couple of years back, and now with our update cadence, LPEs etc.
We used to have a lot of even seedbox servers with ~1000 day uptimes at one point.
now people could round robin their seedboxes/storage boxes to have extreme availability (what ultimately matters) for service pages ; https://wiki.pulsedmedia.com/wiki/Stable_Customer_URLs_on_PMSS
(Still being deployed to the servers)

That's why you should collaborate. Them and HA + crazy NVME could benefit from your cost-effective data center. Then, you could try to make another line of product dubbed as high availability *box
