Low End Cloudy Dedi Party!

Not_Oles · August 15

Low End Cloudy Dedi Party! (低端多云Dedi派对！)

@perryoo11 and I have been hanging around the Low End for a while. @perryoo11 is from the EU, and I am from the US.

After working together along with two more great guys (both from China) on the just today concluded Free Ryzen 7950X dedi project,[1] @perryoo11 and I discussed continuing our project inexpensively in the Cloud -- while we are awaiting another amazing dedi to drop from the sky, of course!

With @perryoo11's permission, here below are a few snippets of @perryoo11's and my private discussion, which led up to the beginning of this new Cloudy Dedi Party Thread.

The two other guys who were on the dedi with me and @perryoo11 are especially invited to join.[2]

In fact, all of you guys here at LES are invited to join!

Please let us know of your interest by posting in this thread. Please share what you want to do and also what you want to contribute, be it funding, another VPS, a dedi, something else.

I am guessing that this post isn't exactly an Offer, and it isn't exactly a Freebie, either. If this thread doesn't feel right to the LES Admin/Mod Team, please close it.

Okay, here we go with our initial context!

perryoo11 August 12
feel free to just ask what reliablesite is willing to provide... asking shouldn't hurt right. gives us options

perryoo11 August 14
Intel Quad Core i5/i7/Xeon
32 GB RAM
1TB SSD
New York City Metro Data Center

From reliablesite
29$ for a month.. would this work?

Not_Oles August 14
Thanks for the kind and generous offer! I appreciate it!

I probably wouldn't run services on it, so the specs are fine for my use case!

What do the Chinese guys think?

Hi!

This is my test VM on Crunchy. Crunchbits, Liberty Lake, WA USA. If you want it, I will make an account for you.

We can do something else instead, or additionally, if you want.

hey @Not_Oles i am willing to host a big boy vm! let me spin up a big boy hetzner vm and let you setup and give us the same ssh key login?

Not_Oles 1:14PM
Sounds great! Thank you so much!

For easy reference, here's my key:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILySvSdulbZ4XG4K333YOoFbcwoo6ythPBOf175OIBfA chronos@localhost

(1) No need to start too big, right? We can scale up when actually needed, right? If neither of us have as yet tried the scaling up and down, maybe we ought to try it as an experiment? I think we can change cores and RAM both up and down, and grow disk space but not decrease disk space on our main disk. But I'm not 100% sure that's right.

(2) How about we put our discussion into a public thread and keep PMs for when privacy is needed? If you say okay, I will start the thread, or you can start it if you want.

(3) Something else I'd like to try is installing Void Linux. It's not among the ISO alternatives offered by Hetzner, but could be added by support. Void is something that I haven't tried before, so not at all sure I can get Void working. I am going to try Void on another VM, but wondering if you are interested? Also, even if we decide to try Void together, maybe it makes sense to begin with comfortably familiar territory like Debian 12?

Thanks very much!

perryoo11 1:15PM
right! lemme get the cheapest vps from hetzner then!

perryoo11 1:24PM
1) you are right and also how about i create a vps from my own dedicated server!

2) lets do it!

3) oh thats voids my 1) offer but would prevent me from buying a cheap one though!

Thank you very much for participating in the previous project. In the previous project, I also learned a lot about the use of Linux. I have completed the learning goals set in the previous project, so I don’t need to join the current project for the time being. Very thank you for your invitation

Not_Oles · August 16

@kaffuchino

Sounds great that you completed your Linux learning goals for the previous project. Congrats!

Always glad to see you! Please come back later, whenever you want. Best wishes!

Would you mind sharing learning goals? Was it self learnt or a part of a structured learning program ?

Thx

perryoo11 · August 16

oh noes!!! My expensive dms are exposed!

@Not_Oles i will create my own vps i can host on my dedicated server which i will allow to use for this thread

4 cores
8 gig ram
100 gig disk
1 ipv4

perryoo11 · August 17

Update: server was created @Not_Oles i will pass you login soon.

Here is a yabs

Hi @perry0011!

I am in!

Thank you very much!

How come it won't let me change the ssh port? Is the Node running Proxmox?

Thanks again!

Hey you need to sudo root.. then change it.

if you can't change it you can change it... if you can't then i gotta test.

Changing the port seems to work now! I don't know why it didn't work before. Probably I made another if my many mistakes.

Thanks! Sorry for the noise!

Hey there, Can the VPS be used to compile a open source project?

iamvinh123 · August 26

I also have one question:
Can I use it as a webserver?

for what purpose? since it's not a "long term" server we can't offer webspace which never changes
