If you lend me a VM with 1 GB of swap for a day, I can most likely make you an Alpine template.
Thing is, the template is built from that VM.
If there is swap, it will created for every VM that uses that template thereafter.
So, my question is; do you really need it?
Would it be possible to run it with only 128mb later on (no swap)? If the answer is no, then there is no point in wasting time.
As I wont give 1gb swap to everyone.

Understood. It would be better to have 3 x 3 GB ploop devices than swap actually. They are only needed temporarily. That is, allocate them, I'll start with a CentOS template and convert it to Alpine, shut the container down, and then you can remove the 2 additional ploop devices and make a template. I guess that is feasible?
After conversion the resource requirement is low. This is on one of my KVM's (so it includes kernel).
# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 988 61 878 0 48 831
Swap: 0 0 0
Can probably be done without the extra ploops if necessary, but would be easier to have some breathing room. Anyway, I'd either fly or fail quickly.
@mikho Just going though and setting up all of the NATs and find that the OVZ7 instances are not providing the option in Virtualizor to enable Fuse or NFS. It is available in Bulgaria (OVZ6).
@mikho said: Offer still open to anyone willing to try.
To me it says "Bundle Unavailable", I have tried the Europe bundle. I bought a NAT256 (IT-MIL) 2 days ago, but it has not yet provisioned. I would ask if it could be converted to the Europe bundle, adding the difference. But if already sold out i'll wait for the provision.
@flips, @mikho Completed upgrading to centOS 8 just now. Went totally smooth..... until I run uname -sr Linux 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.86.2
.... What ?? kernel didn't update. Wasted half hour trying to find the issue, then it hit my mind.. openVZ. I guess I am using KVM for too long.
Guys what to do now? How can I use updated kernel? Does it mean, mikho needs to upgrade the "shared kernel" too?
Did the bundle have a name?

Both are Debian 10.2.
In any case, the version number is just something compiled into the kernel. It can be overridden, but that's very confusing as it doesn't really have 4.x features. The joy of OpenVZ being separate patches on top of legacy kernels, rather than being built in to the kernel directly like LXC is - Providers can never upgrade to a newer kernel version unless OpenVZ port their custom patches across.

On a UK node with Inception Hosting (@AnthonySmith) and a Finland node with Gullo's Hosting (@cam), VPSes running Debian 10: uname -r shows version 4.19.0.
Maybe some OpenVZ host setting or something is different.
@flips said: Maybe some OpenVZ host setting or something is different.
Hmmmm, quite possibly a different setting. AFAIK there's no 4.19 kernel for OpenVZ so the version number is a lie, which is dangerous (as the kernel may not actually support all the features of 4.19.0).
@mikho i bought nat vps and it said the ip is not recognize and cannot purchase. i also got 500 internal server error for the first time. and now it said fraud. i check the order and they have 2 order duplicate but it said cancelled cause fraud.
would you like to check it? i have open an ticket. but you might not seeing that

If you are willing to strip it down to a minimal image, I can create a template file from it and save it for everyone to use.

I just sent out an update about that node. It 's gone, I'm not spending one more minute on that. Nothing but issues since it was moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
The good news is that it will be replaced with a Los Angeles node if you like that location.

The auto discount only requires you to be logged in when placing the order. If you are not logged in, the discount won't be applied.
@all, sorry for the absence, I got sick in November and if you ignore the symptoms, apparently it only gets worse, not better. Who knew
I'm better now, still not "good" but I hope that without setbacks, I'll be back to full speed in a week or two.

Get well soon and I hope the forced downtime actually rejuvenates you and you bounce back to much better than before.

Removing all not needed services, only run what is absolutly neccesary, bring down the memory usage, clean all caches.

Interesting ... I know it's a shared kernel, but in Debian 10 uname reports 4.19, so it fakes it somehow ...
Has anyone who bought a NAT VPS in Romania managed to get IPv6 working in their VPS?
I'm wondering if it's just me or a general issue.

There was a typo in the ipv6

Got another ticket in this morning that its not working from all containers.
Will have another look at it
