You shouldn't need to be a OpenVPN expert. Maybe @JaredBusch can help.

From what little bit I've grasped from the Yealink documentation I've glanced at I think the constraints of the phone manufacturer are probably going to be the toughest part. There are some types of encryption that they don't support and possibly specific older versions of packages that are required to make it work...

Hopefully that's not the case and a current version of OpenVPN will get the job done without too much fuss.

Well, if anyone can help, it's @JaredBusch - he is a Yealink expert

What I love about the Free Subscription, is you can run unlimited non-production VM's

Well, I am only about 3 chapters in, but over all I am very happy with this book.

It includes the whole book as a PDF so I can read it on my iPad while I travel

@JaredBusch sent via email. Sorry.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Takes time, money and is never going to be as reliable or as fast as the free ones.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Sovereign is a set of Ansible playbooks that you can use to build and maintain your own personal cloud based entirely on open source software, so you’re in control.

If you’ve never used Ansible before, you might find these playbooks useful to learn from, since they show off a fair bit of what the tool can do.

Sovereign offers useful cloud services while being reasonably secure and low-maintenance. Use it to set up your server, SSH in every couple weeks, but mostly forget about it.

@scottalanmiller said in Vultr adjusts its pricing:

Holy crap, that's huge. Worth noting that they dropped their 768MB tier in moving to this. Not complaining, just pointing it out to help make it clear what moved to where.

Clearly trying to match Linode Pricing...

How do you decide when you use a Virtual Machine vs a Container? What are the Pros and Cons of each?

A collection of Ansible playbooks, scalable from one container to an entire data center.

This is pretty cool. Even if the playbook doesn't work perfectly for your environment, you could always use it as a starting place, and customize to your needs
