I agree with @kevinc - don’t use Electrical tape. Gods you should have seen the old fabric style electrical tape. It was an even worse nightmare!

@IRJ
Not that I would need to deploy many instances- but if this was for my office- spin up a new instance, or burn one, support requests, billing, add on storage- etc.

Since my use case is personal, I don’t need all that, it can all wait till I get home. I can update, even rescan the files to update the file dB all from ssh- which I do via Termius.

Consensus is that the app is not safe and doesn’t add enough benefit so- ignore it.

@IRJ in this case: I’m only asking thoughts on the app and nothing more.

I have and use Termius and do some minor things via my mobile device. Everything else sits until I return home to dual 24” screens.

Yes, **if ** Vultr published it, I would be more likely to use it.

I don't manage instances from my cell phone enough.

The web interface works well enough.

I would not trust a 3rd party app.

And to add to this... Don't use your mobile to manage your servers. Didn't you just make a mistake yesterday by doing this

LOL,.. yes and no. My ‘mistake’ was trying to update the system from Ubuntu `18.04 to 20.04’

Thanks @scottalanmiller; I could see the need for me to use it more as I don’t have access to a network in which I can access it for much of the day. Working for home, I can’t say I would ever need it. But as I can’t access it from the State network, I’m limited to my mobile device. And while it’s accessible via a web browser, on a mobile device (phone or tablet) an app could be ‘easier’ maybe.

While working on my instance yesterday, i looked at the iOS App Store and found a app which will allow you to manage your instances on Vultr. It isn’t published by Vultr itself however.

Which make me wonder about using it. While I know it’s a simple webpage to sign into, I might see the benefit of having a app specific control panel. But I could also see that it could or would be a route to be compromised.

That being said, is there anyone using the Vultr app; Vulture, to manage their Vultr instance(s)?

Turns out I had a snapshot, restoring it and then regrouping...

@stacksofplates said in NC: Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 error:

Is mariadb running? Is SELinux enforcing? Were there errors during the update?

Instance is Ubuntu not SElinux
