Encourage developers, but how?

$
0
0

Hi folks,

We are currently looking to create a program to encourage developers. We already have a few ideas but are looking for more input from developers.

What kind of hosting would you like to see?
Would you prefer free hosting in exchange of publicity or simply discounted hosting?

What do you think of such programs?

Regards, David


Online.net Dedibox XC/SC 2016 Windows Templates

$
0
0

Hi Guys,

I recently needed to install Microsoft Windows on a couple of my Online.net Personal Range servers (XC/SC 2016) and as such built a few templates. Since a lot of my information on how to correctly build the templates came from the forums here I figured I would share back with the community.

2012 R2 Standard
http://ovh-bhs.mirror.whatuptime.com/Microsoft_Windows_Server_2012_R2_Standard_VL_x64.gz

2012 R2 Datacenter
http://ovh-bhs.mirror.whatuptime.com/Microsoft_Windows_Server_2012_R2_Datacenter_VL_x64.gz

Windows 10 Enterprise
http://ovh-bhs.mirror.whatuptime.com/Microsoft_Windows_10_Enterprise_VL_x64.gz

Notes
-No license keys, cracks, etc. are included nor will be provided. Please go purchase a legitimate license key before you use the above templates.
-The templates are base Windows installation with minor changes to allow for them to correctly work on the hardware and be accessible via RDP.
-You should run Windows Updates once you have the template installed, there are next to no updates included with the templates!

How to Install
1) Boot your server into rescue mode (Ubuntu 14) via the Online.net control panel.
2) Log into your server's rescue mode via SSH
3) Run the following commands:

sudo -i
wget -O- '**http://use-one-of-the-links-above-or-your-own**' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

4) Once the above command completes, reboot your server back to normal mode using the Online.net control panel.
5) Once your server has booted (Give it some time), you can then log into RDP using your server's IP address and the following credentials.

2012 R2
Username: Administrator
Password: P@ssword64

Windows 10
Username: WhatUpTime.com
Password: P@ssword64

6) Grab & run https://sdi-tool.org/download/ - Use the tool to install any/all missing drivers.
7) Reboot
8) Activate with your license key & enjoy!


I will keep the links alive as long as I am able, please do not abuse them as it will ensure I remove them.


The above templates should work for Kimsufi servers as well, in theory they will work for any server with Intel CPU's & Intel NIC's...they should even work for Hyper-v, KVM, etc.

Please do let me know if you test the templates on other hardware. Depending on issues faced I am happy to make changes to improve compatibility.

Tired of new members that signs on LET only to bash...

It is often more than ever the case of LET new members that sign to this forum only to post a complain or bashing a provider that had (reasonably or not, it's not the case) a bad experience with.
This behavior is like a revenge: they are not interested in participating to a forum, just to give some bad reviews adding them to google.
Don't you think that such kind of messages from newcomers should not be indexed to search engines? Maybe, that kind of reviews (or "reviews") should be visible to google only for members with x posts or being registered for x months (just a suggestion).

dedistation.com VPS more than 10 days can not access! Service providers have not responded to my TK! This is very disappointing! This is my previous post----->>I want to know what happened at dedistation.com? My VPS has been unable to access more than 36 hours

Previously just can not access 36 hours, and now is more than 10 days can not access, they do not have any reply to information! They are like dead!

More than 36 hours from the last can not access, no reply to information! I do not trust them! But did not think they can be more than 10 days can not access! No reply to my TK information! September began to use VPS, to now have more than 15 days can not access!

Just want to remind everyone - please carefully choose VPS! VPS also has three months to expire! How to deal with it? And now can not be accessed, SolusVM management background can not be restarted - or related to any operation!

cP EA4 php-fpm and CloudLinux 7

Hello,

Just wondering how is everyone setting up their new cPanel servers??

Are you going for cP + EA4 + php fpm + CloudLinux
Or
Sticking with cP + EA3 + CloudLinux + mod_lsapi ???

Anyone have done testing with php-fpm vs mod_lsapi ???

I have to check, but does php-fpm supports OpCache with cPanel default setup? Since the new cP60 comes with only EA4, I am wondering which path to take. (Not sure if I can even go back to EA3 with a new installed cP with EA4)

Thanks

Hello,

Hopefully this is in the correct place, if not @jarland feel free to move!

Looking for a couple of well known LET users to trial (1 - 2 Month's) a new Cloud KVM Storage service, the plan once launched will be within the LET $ band!

Looking for people who have a valid use case for the VM and can provide valid and useful feedback on all areas of the service, not looking for users who want a free 2 Month seedbox as this will cause instant termination.

Starting you will have access and control to VM via WHMCS, however part the way through we will also provide our own Control Panel which will also need feedback on during the BETA.

Specs:

-1TB CEPH Storage
-1GB DDR4 RAM
-2TB Outgoing Bandwidth (Not limited during BETA period)
-Unmetered Incoming Bandwidth
-KVM Environment
-1 x E5 2620V4 CPU (1/2 Guaranteed)
-Fully HA

Looking for feedback wise:

-Performance of all resources and levels
-Any suggestions on package specifications
-Suggestions and feedback on custom Control Panel
-Anything else you have

If your a well known LET user and interested please comment saying PM'd, and PM me your info and use case for the VM, looking at late next week for setup of accounts.

Thanks

R1Soft Backups (cPanel integrated) / Recommendations

Hello folks,

I've never used R1Soft backup systems, but am about to.

Assuming I'm using 3TB diskspace right now, how big would the backup server need to be, configuring R1Soft, integrated in cPanel, which allows the customer to self-restore and such? Would 4TB be enough? Or does it have to be like 6TB?

BGPView - Seeking feedback/suggestions

Hey Guys and Girls.

Been working on a little of a pet project on the side for the last wee while. Feel like finally reached "MVP" stage so I thought I would share the project with like minded internet users and try to get as much feedback and suggestions as I can.

https://bgpview.io/

As title suggests, its a BGP Viewer/Visualization tool. Essentially, its a replacement for bgp.he.net. Slightly different data, different presentation, and most importantly there is an open API :) :) http://docs.bgpview.apiary.io/

As mentioned before, this is pretty much bare basics and by no means done (Have a few things and features planned up ahead), but I would love to get some feedback from LET and see what crucial features they would want to see in such a platform/system to better aid in the everyday 1337 h4x0r life. Obviously, want this to be the best and most useful it can be.

Cheers

Should I be surprised that this works so well? (dump over ssh)

$
0
0

To my astonishment, this has consistently worked:

# dump -0 -f - / | ssh backup-server.example.com "cd /vault && cat > dump.0"

There's a little more to it in that I specify ssh keys, ports, per-server destination, etc. but that's essentially the command. I've examined the dump file on the backup server and done restores over it, etc. Of course, change level 0 for any level you like.

So, um, why isn't everyone using dump for backing up their VMs? I mean, I'm doing this over the WAN and ending up with a nice full/incremental rotation, I can pull out subsets for restore, it's compressed/secure, I could probably pipe a gpg encryption in there if I wished...

Let's Do Some Tests

Backup source: 1-core, 768M Vultr in Seattle.

Backup destination: DO in NYC. ~28ms.

Backing up:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        30G   11G   18G  39% /
Dump command: dump -0 -f - /
Where compression is listed, -z, -z5, or -z9

Test Results (SCIENCE!)

Compression Level          Time              Dump Size     Source Server Impact

None                      3m28.997s             11.0G       nil (6% cpu)
2 (default)               3m36.289s              7.0G       noticeable if you look
5                         4m5.272s               6.9G       noticeable even if you don't look
9 (max)                   6m5.260s               6.9G       this is all you're doing

I'm being comical on the source server impact, but for example with level 5 or 9, the load average was well over 2.0, while with level 2 it was usually around 1.0

Destination side barely showed load - sshd was using 6% of CPU.

I was being lazy and using du -sh...I'm sure level 9 is a little smaller than level 5, but not so much that I'd care.

Of course, these are all full backups of the entire OS and in practice, I'd exclude some things (/tmp, etc.) and the daily incrementals would be much, much smaller (files changed since yesterday, compressed).

Given SSD disk speed these days, I think one could do a level 0 less frequently than the traditional once a week...more incrementals to play back but SSDs are fast.

Honorable Intentions

This method seems to meet all my needs/wants:

  • captures everything - default include, not default "remember to include"
  • can do incrementals which saves on my bandwidth
  • can extract a subset of files to restore.
  • encrypted in transit
  • compressible
  • haven't played with encryption yet but that's just a gpg command in the pipeline before ssh
  • doesn't require staging space on the client
  • can run unattended with passwordless ssh.
  • on the backup server, I can move the backups somewhere out of the clients' access once backups are done, and the client doesn't depend on looking at that for an rsync-type incremental (and can't destroy backups with a malicious rsync)

Only negative is that I'd prefer to go over sftp so the client is completely locked down and limited to sftp only. But I can chroot the client into an incoming directory where he can only put files and not escape to do anything else.

I was concerned that maybe going over the WAN would result in broken connections, etc. but I just did half a dozen transcontinental dumps (please, no crude humor) and things seem to be working fine...

Someone stop me before I fall in love with this solution, get it pregnant, and elope to Buffalo.

Where to get DNS?

$

Hello,

i have domain for which i can register nameservers in my domain registar (namecheap) control panel, i am unsure how good DNS namecheap offers? Do you suggest any other provider?

so i can then point my domains to that nameservers to resolve to my hosting server ip:

nsMyName1.dnsservice.com -> myhostingserverip

nsMyName2.dnsservice.com -> myhostingserverip

i got idea trying cloudflare free service too. my budget is very low, i need something free or very low priced. very low number of dns requests. Like maybe 1-3 unique visitors per second.

What do you suggest? Thank you

[ASK] Memory on OpenVZ VPS

Hello,

I have an openVZ VPS with 2GB of RAM and 512MB os vSWAP memory. Using free -m command, it shows this following result

      total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
         Mem:          2048       2048          0        260          0       1084
         -/+ buffers/cache:        963       1084
        Swap:          512        162        349

I don't have any FREE memory, instead the memory eaten up by the cached.. Does this situation is normal and not causing any trouble on the node? My VPS is still running normal and served the visitor normally.

Thanks...
