Are the LET signups still off limits? Actually, maybe I just misunderstood the message about "accounts created after 14th" - I interpreted that as microlxc accounts, but maybe you actually meant LET accounts, but I assumed not as they'd not be eligible in any case. Anyway, I was just asking as the option for LET is still available in the "Origin" dropdown on the website.
If LET signups aren't allowed, it's no biggie, I'll just wait until my account is old enough here.

No, there was just a cap for new LET accounts, due to the new LET policies.
Which I removed a few days ago.

Thanks! Just signed up and I'll be using it for keeping an eye on my other services (deliberately chose furthest away from me so I get the worst case scenario). Also interested to try out an LXC-based system as I've only used KVM until now.
Got to say, as well as the idea being very cool and generous, I really like the whole onboarding process and management panel. The website styling is really nice and it does a very great job of being approachable while still being able to access every option you could possibly need.
The Network issues does not seem to be fully solved, as precaution I am going to move the Backend to another machine over the weekend, it will announced on the website.
Expected Downtime 1-2 hours, the Website will be up however the API/Backend will be unavailable during this time.
HAProxy and the Containers/Virtual Machines will be not impacted by this.
Also Hong Kong is delayed, awaiting IPv6 allocation.
Given that I still have no Ticket reply, I suspended new Deployments in Los Angeles.
If you wanna change the Location, you can do so.
However, we don't really got a replacement right now, since its the only Location we got in the US. Maybe I can do something, before the Service runs out.
As said a few weeks ago, the Bandwidth throttle will go live, due to a recent Abuse.
If you hit the Traffic Limit the Uplink will be throttled to 128KB/sec.
Especially in APAC, Allocation is tight, pretty tight, on some Nodes we only got 1TB and since we give Bandwidth away like candy with 200GB per Container, its dam tight, hence the Throttle.
The Bandwidth allocation will reset every 30 days, depending on which day you created the Machine.
You can request, manually via Tiket, a reset of your bandwidth usage if spare Bandwidth is available, which it usually is, but as far as I know only one Person as of Today hit these Limits.
Reminder regarding LA, currently I have still no response to my Ticket, the Invoice is due tomorrow, No idea about suspension, I likely expect it shortly after.
Oooh nice, I just discovered you can use the wireguard kernel module with the LXC containers! I didn't even know that was possible (as in at all, not just here), I thought you had to use the userland module and /dev/net/tun, so this was a very pleasant discovery!
Thanks again for this service! It's nice to play with a small container, as I'd previously written off LXC as a viable option for my production work, mostly because it seemed a pain to set up wireguard, so it's definitely been super useful already!

Shout-out for potential sponsors: I did recently buy services from a MicroLXC sponsor entirely because I tried it on MicroLXC and liked it.
Sponsorship is also the only reason that I know Zappie has offerings in South Africa, New Zealand, and Chile. I don't know of any other providers in those regions. So, I think this is a pretty good marketing success. Similar situation with Flow...
Some emails got rejected due to a invalid SPF record, this has been fixed.
Please monitor your VM, don't rely by 100% on the email notifications to remind you to log in to keep the VM.
If you exceed 60 days without activity, the VM will be stopped, not deleted.
If for whatever reason the email is not getting delivered, the monitoring should alert you at this point, you have another 7 days to log in and start your VM.

It's one of the best locations... Zappie host's locations are also pretty fantastic and frequently available. Especially South Africa, that's an awesome location.
Most of the people who snatched up all of the US/EU nodes probably already have idling nodes nearby. AU, NZ, JP, CL, and ZA are where it's at.
PS: I just terminated in JP and relaunched in AU. So, there's one JP node available now.
The Backend was down for about 2 minutes today, due to a planned maintenance.
However, the scripts that sync the haproxy entries had a bug, which resulted in the HAProxy dying for 30 minutes on all locations as the result.
This already has been fixed on NanoKVM, however I forgot to port that fix, my bad.
DNS Proxy wasn't affected by this, since it uses a different script to sync.
Reminder, SG (Nexusbytes) has been set out of stock since months, however we still got a bunch of containers running.
This Location could go offline this week, according to sources.

Free NAT KVM | Free NAT LXC
Regarding KVM Availability
Norway and Groningen already run KVM
Hong Kong once IPv6 is allocated, will run KVM
Chile, Auckland, Johannesburg would be next on the list.
However, the current Kernel on these Systems causes issues with nested virt, so we have to upgrade them.
On Wednesday, 01.06 I will do these System Upgrades.
Starting from around 21:00 CET, expected downtime per Node should be around 5-10 minutes.
Melbourne
waiting for a Tiket, getting the Storage upgraded
Tokyo
Same thing, OS would need to get upgraded, will be done after the other ones
Los Angeles
Recently got invoiced, I don't know if the Sponsorship was terminated, waiting for a reply since 5 days, so no ETA on this one.
Singapore
The System would not have enough Storage to run KVM's as of right now, likely new Node is needed, since the current Storage setup is fubar.

Some idiot, likely me decided to make the OS partition to small.
I will have to get the Storage upgraded and schedule a Maintenance later for NZ and SA.
