Low End Dedicated Server Share, Vint Hill, Virginia, USA -- Part II
Not_Oles
Provider 
Friendly greetings!
As you know from our previous ad,[1] MetalVPS now has a new Low End dedicated server, an OVH SYS-LE-1.
From our shell accounts on this server, we can work directly on the bare metal. Of course, we also can see how well the server node is performing.
Incus has been installed. From our shell accounts, with Incus, we easily can launch Linux containers and/or our own KVM VPSes with many Linux distributions and almost any BSD or other custom operating systems. Both the container and KVM launch processes are simple:
# Debian Linux Container
debian@vh:~$ incus launch images:debian/13 test-container
# Debian KVM Virtual Machine
debian@vh:~$ incus launch images:debian/13 test-vm --vm
# NetBSD 11.0 Virtual Machine
debian@vh:~$ incus launch images:netbsd/11.0 my-netbsd11 --vm
Sudo
Sudo is not necessary to make VPSes and containers. Nevertheless, presently, there are two neighbors, myself (Tom, @Not_Oles), and another LES member. We both have sudo. However, the other LES member has kindly offered to give up sudo if someone comes aboard who objects to anyone besides me having sudo. Alternatively, if someone else comes aboard who wants sudo, we can consider adding our new neighbor to the sudo group.
Limits
There are no limits on number of containers and KVM VPSes per account. There are no per account limits on processor cores, RAM, disk, or bandwidth.

man why always karma!
LES karma is a new feature that Ant rolled out among many other new, improved LES features.
Maybe you could post some more, say something useful and helpful, get people here to know you and to thank you with karma!?
Even without the karma, if you want to sign up for an account on the server, maybe we could arrange it. You are welcome to talk with me privately by PM or by the email on my profile. I am going to sleep soon, but, if you write to me, I will answer tomorrow morning.
