Vultr SATA VM Options
-
Vultr Storage Instances are perfect for use as NextCloud platforms as well.
-
That includes compute! That's a pretty good deal.

It's an amazing deal. It's a full VM, not a storage add on. We've used a lot of these, they work great.

And mysteriously Vultr ads start appearing on the site.
-
Magic. I'm glad that you see them because I've not seen one yet.
-
It don't look half bad.

Looks good in the image, still haven't seen it on the site. I know that it is random but it's been a LOT of loads and I've not yet seen it.

Any update on the NTG lab?

@Minion-Queen posted on the lab thread yesterday, I think.

Further testing, and a little weekend sleuthing revealed that Docker absolutely does not like XFS. I'm going to go do a custom install of CentOS7 with brtfs on a Vultr instance to see if docker works that way. Might have to use a different OS to get Collabora working along with NextCloud.

On that note, the custom OS install is easy. I kicked off the install seconds after giving the ISO utility one of the CentOS mirrors, and the console access is snappy, even on our horrible internet here. Poking at it while I wait to hear back from vendors.

Yup, we use Vultr for that a lot and love it.

Heading out now, started a ServerBear just because I'm curious and have other plans for tonight.

Well, benchmark wasn't surprising at all. Good performance for spinning platters of rust.

Docker started the collabora container without a problem. Only difference is that it's using brtfs instead of XFS for the file system.
-
Docker container is running. NextCloud is installed, but I need to get the correct selinux setting for the apps folder, and create the reverse proxy for NextCloud to access the collabora container with. Hopefully finish up in the next couple of evenings.
