@scottalanmiller They are both from Scaleway. I screwed up, lol.

OH okay. that's why I was wondering about the type 🙂

We had a thread yesterday.

Missed it. Been busy at work.

@fuznutz04 said in Digital Ocean adds free monitoring:

Great! Now we know it will be coming soon to all the other providers. That's why competition is great ! 🙂

I'd guess unlikely. Rackspace and Amazon have had this for years and it didn't spread. DO and Linode have load balancers, Vultr has firewall. They do different features and I've not seen too much rush to converge.

@Romo I should find out soon enough. Just finished spinning up a new VM for this.

They are going to integrate LetsEncrypt, too.

Looking at the details page, here is a limitation depending on how you handle client accounts, or your own accounts.

What are the Lightsail service limits?
You can currently create up to 20 Lightsail instances, 5 static IPs, and 3 DNS domain zones in a Lightsail account.

But this is pretty cool. Ability to manage traffic before it hits your VPS:

Can I manage firewall settings for my instance?
.
You can control the data traffic for your instances by using the Lightsail firewall. From the Lightsail console, you can set rules about which ports of your instance are publicly accessible for different types of traffic.

We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?

Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:

104.236.119.59 108.61.151.173 172.99.75.133

We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.

What does Drush do? What requirements does it have that keep it from getting installed?

Drush is a CLI tool for Drupal. You can pretty much manage your whole site with it. But you need root access (or sudo).

If you update Drupal manually on shared hosting you pretty much have to back up the whole site, redownload the new Drupal version, reupload your sites folder (where all your info is), change the DB settings file, and chmod it.

With drush you type drush up drupal and you're done.

Or if you want to update everything (modules and themes also) type drush up

It's more of a pain with shared hosting to do all of that also.

Nitrobackup powered by LiveDrive is unlimited storage for unlimited computers (Biz version) at $109 a year. You really can't beat it.

Very nice, I look forward to testing that one out.

@scottalanmiller said in Getting NodeJS on CentOS 7 with NVM:

Updated to the latest NVM and NodeJS versions.

There is also the ability to check out the repo and just use get to pull the current but if I do that how do I didn't install in the same fashion that this is installed?

I've not tried that either.

Not to be confused with the big pink V.

And what is that?

I have no idea either.

They have some great stuff.

Here is what they eventually said...

Thank you for the follow up on this issue. After closer review, it appears the build failed to complete. This resulted in the droplet not being created. You will want to re-attempt creating the droplet. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Complain I say, complain!

Lol, love the Foghorn Leghorn reference

Suh, I challenge you to a duel

Here is the SAR report for the server. Remember we are running at half the cores, half the memory that is recommended - mostly just as an experiment to see how much is really needed for things to be responsive. And so far, ingesting five servers, it is working just fine. We will be adding more servers and keeping an eye on things to see how the performance is and will grow the server if we need to. We are trying to learn from this so that we will have better capacity information. But for a smaller company it looks like a very small server will work just fine. No question that the server is busy, but now that it is up and running and no longer handling the initial setup, it's nowhere near being fully loaded.
