What are you using your VPS for?

rcy026

Just out of curiosity (and a little bit as a marketing survey) what are you using your VPS's for?

cybertech

Benching everyday.

foxone

Crawling websites and archiving stuff

kuroneko23

Minecraft server, VPN, gradle

havoc

Other - experimentation/learning. Easier to nuke a server than stuff on home network.

Idling is missing from given options. It should be there

True. I forgot idling, and "just collecting vps's".

1. experiments
2. proxys
3. DMZ storage
4. demonstrating products - so I can get paid before deploying to client's servers.

Idling

WSS

Mostly DNS and backup services for my primary dedi. I don't like running everything in one place. I've done that, but I would not suggest doing so.

Is it real to use all of this on just one VPS? Rocket chat, nextcloud (443 port https), nginx redirect to another site when put the IP of your VPS on the browser (80 port) and wordpress on https:// (443) ??? If yes, tell me how please.

1 general beataround vps with personal and dev stuff and a small personal website, 1 vpn/znc, several storage vps, 1 shared hosting for static files, 2 dedis for storage/computation, several idlers.

Docker and reverse proxy

I like to experiment with lesser known OS's to see if I can get them running on a KVM VPS.

FAT32

I still idle 80% of them, because why not

I wasted 3hours for this question but still unable to answer. I am really bad at philosophy.

yep,
everything that wants different ports is just fine - just install and let through firewall
everything that wants 80/443 is traditionally solved by "virtual hosts" - every major webserver software like nginx supports them
or you can

whether it's a good idea to have all eggs in one basket, no, not so much

I recently had a small data loss, lost some sorted old photos and videos. Luckily I still have the original unsorted backup.
I finally decided to just zip then all and throw it on the corner on my local HDD and google drive.

Did you get Red Star OS working?

LOL holds no interest for me.
