That is fine if we can raise a support ticket and ask them to install a Wordpress plugin for us, if they take care of all security updates and patches to WP and plugins, etc.
-
Thanks, but looking for something a bit more custom than page/theme builders, and willing to pay a graphic designer for that. Probably makes it a bit different from the other thread.
-
Organization has members globally. US or western Europe preferred.
-
I'm reorganizing and will probably dump some stuff after that. Too much in the USA (especially Atlanta). Right now I've got something in the $10-12/yr range to dump in Atlanta but nothing under $5.
-
I don't currently cycle keys automatically on boot. My scenario is a bit different. I have a partition with LXC containers which is what is encrypted.
-
* iptables filters out everything not in my DNS zone files. 2. The requesting VPS passes a device key, key=$( curl -fs -H "X-LXC-Id: ${devicekey}" "${keyservapi}/getkey" ). 3. The keyserver returns a 403 if either the device key or IP address don't match. Keyserver is one PHP file and a SQLite DB. Actually it does a bit…
-
No, I'm doing it differently.
-
I use LUKS and pull the encryption key from a keyserver on boot via https. This way I do not have to manually intervene after a reboot, the password is not stored on the VM itself, and to revoke I delete the DB entry in the keyserver. Of course whoever controls the host can always do stuff with a running VM, but at least…

Please feel free to take first crack at it. I'll put a few hours into it if you draw a blank.

For orphans you can probably do something like orphans="" ; for r in $( rpm --query -a ) ; do d=$( rpm -qR ${r} | wc -l ) ; if [[ "${d}" -eq "0" ]] ; then orphans="${orphans} ${r}" ; fi ; done (just freestyling, completely untested).
-
I don't know of an easy way. My script has a 'whitelist' of minimal packages, and does a rpm --query -a then builds a list of what to remove based on the difference. The annoying thing about this is I have to add all the dependencies into the whitelist, which is why minimal is easier to handle.
-
I hate firewalld and try to get rid of it. For me iptables makes it easier to manage scripts across different distros. Generally less is better. If you've got wget, yum, which, rpm then pretty much anything else people want can be added by individuals in their standard setup script. Removing is trickier because your script…

For me the interesting anycast use cases are (a) custom/own DNS, (b) low-latency and/or geo-targeted HTTP(s), and (c) faster failover than DNS in the event a server goes down, and it also reduces the number of "premium DNS lookups" on some managed DNS plans. This would be fine for the above-mentioned use cases, since DNS…
-
Pro: for a low-end project, anycast can cost several times more than the VPS's themselves, which makes it pretty hard to justify. If you can share an anycast IP among a lot of people and have a reasonable traffic allowance due to bulk purchase, it could push the price to a viable point... depends what the price actually…

I have an active account but no active service, so that's me out.
-
Ahh I was talking about a "disk transaction" not a "SQL transaction", so maybe we are actually speaking the same language. In that case maybe I am well inside your parameters, but if it does end up problematic I'd be happy for you to limit it. Thank you.
-
Thanks for the guidance. It would be running it as a slave for backup, so latency isn't important. I've always treated tps and iops the same per this page: For my DB master this number is 48 averaged over the past 30 days. Not intending to hijack the thread, but if you're measuring iops differently, could you say how?
-
What's a reasonable iops limit while being a good neighbor on these servers? I've got a database that needs around 40-50 tps. Best to ask first...
-
Agreed. I/O also sucks. But the OP didn't say anything about the VM being good/fast/suitable for anything, just whether it uses Ryzen or Epyc :)
-
Oracle's "always free" VMs gave me 2 x Epyc 7551 per VM.
-
The areas outside of downtown are pretty wild too.

Transfer it? (if UltraVPS do that)

I got something from VirMach that I probably shouldn't have. I also took RAD Web Hosting's $1/month deal without checking into them as much as I should have. Location was "Dallas/Phoenix" and I wanted Dallas but ended up with Phoenix. Also the fact that their bill is ~$180 discounted to $12 is a bit creepy. Not sure if…
-
I appreciate what you did there.

I'm using their BF specials for sustained 40 iops, which isn't 'heavy' but also isn't zero. They clearly publish their limits, and I'm in a position where I can throttle my own stuff to stay within them. The most annoying thing for me is that they hit me for iops once, and gave me a log of it, and their log numbers were…

After reading the original post, I came away with the impression that TOR is prohibited :-D

I'm aiming for two different things. One is a failover server where I can easily spin up containers (so idle most of the time), and the other is a light-weight front-end for heavy DBs. 1vCPU (not that important) 4GB RAM 15GB HDD (SSD not so important) 500GB bandwidth KVM Location: flexible $30/yr or €30/yr-ish type of…
