CloudatCost OS Offerings

But the default swappiness value is pretty high. I would not retain this. Default is set to 30, I would drop that to 5 for most scenarios.
-
To change the swappiness to something a bit healthier for a virtual machine, just go into /etc/sysctl.conf and add the line...
vm.swappiness = 5And then to apply this run...
sysctl -p -

Something else I found while perusing their site.

Seems like a good DR option if you can get a bigger chunk of storage. If I were running VMWare it would be a consideration.

After seeing that Scott bought 6 of these...
Not exactly but no comment...
OK I don't need to comment on this, but I just can't let it go - and apparently neither can you. AJ - your comment brings no value to this discussion. I'm sure you're right, Scott probably didn't personally have to pay for the 6 servers he indicated that he just stood up on this service, NTG probably did. At the same time, I'm guessing that Scott is probably a part owner of NTG. Assuming that's true, then in reality he did pay for these since it would be lowering the profits of his company to try something new.
In any regards, the constant need to post for posting sake is grating. I probably start 5-10 posts like yours a day, but 99% of the time I realize that it has no value and I just delete it.

Thanks. I was being nice.

But it is worth pointing out that there is a Minecraft option!!
I'm interested! What is it, exactly? I know practically nothing about Minecraft but my lad plays it and I'd like to setup a server for him and his mates to play somewhere safe. Is it a simple process?

Maybe we can get a ML Minecraft server setup? Assuming it's a shared world, it might be the push I need to dedicate some real time to it.

The Developer 3 option wouldn't be bad for this as long as you aren't using too many mods. You may be able to squeeze it on the Developer 2 option but that would be cutting it close. It really depends on how many users you have running. My private Minecraft server, which is heavily modded, runs at ~4GB of RAM with just me on, it balloons to ~6GB when I have 5-6 people on.

Hey Guys!
Awesome to hear you guys talking about Minecraft Servers. This is happening at the perfect time as CloudAtCost is refining its minecraft packages right now and are only a couple of weeks away from launch.How about this, instead of having somebody buy a minecraft server for MangoLassi, CloudAtCost will sponsor it for free!
-
Sounds cool. I nominate @coliver as the system administrator
My lad may become ML's youngest member

I have a MineCraft PE server running in a VM for my daughter to play with her friend who moved to Japan.
Just creative mode and no mods right now because from what I have read, the PE server has issues in Survival mode.

It's currently undergoing some changes, as a server cannot realistically be run with more than a few people without any plugins. I'll get right on working on it more, though!
