Same CPU as my Terrahost dedi too, perfect. I’ll give it a proper going over tomorrow but this looks like a winner so long as the disk aren’t appalling.
Having a bit of a play with the API and christ it's certainly _eclectic _- no tokens or anything, just plain username/password auth that then has to be RSAd with iKoula's key - even though it's over SSL
Suspect unless anyone much smarter than me has made a library, this is going to stay as a "there if you desperately need it" rather than a full function
Not had much time with it so far, seems OK, will run my usual setup tonight then put it through it's paces over the weekend, Seems fine for now, really just the network I want to have a good look at, so we'll how it copes with 2.5TB of inbound data.
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
Not enough storage and no iGPU as far as I can see, but thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Anecdotally, Ikoula's network seems a bit iffy. Remote terminal responses randomly take seconds to come back. Video via remote desktop has noticeable tearing and jumps. I'll do proper investigation over the weekend as I migrate my workload.
This is a weird server. Hardware acceleration won't kick in unlike my other server with exactly the same CPU/iGPU. Exactly same OS version and and kernel driver installed.
It also won't reboot cleanly on it's own - if I reboot from the terminal, it never comes back up. If I reboot from the control panel it takes longer than you might expect, but it comes up fine.
I also keep getting alerts from Ikoula saying SSH is unavailable, most of which happen when I'm connected via SSH and everything is working fine.
Does it show the igpu in the OS? As for jank, that's just how Ikoula works. Everything runs mostly alright once you get it set up, the setup process is just annoying. Quite a bit like OVH lol

I’ll give it a go.
And they’ll probably give me an E3…
Let us know how you get on!
(And absolutely shamelessly from my side, if it has IPMI
)
hmm, would love to see the yabs/ KVM/ ipmi availability.
Ordered, let’s see what happens.
Delivered, but I can't access it yet as I don't have a username/password.
That was quick
Which probably means automated, which means pot-luck as to whether I get the right server.
Server installed now, I've got the root password but SSH connections are being refused.
LADS, ITS ONLY A BLOODY i3!
@Nekki congrats Chief

@Hxxx I owe you beer or two.
I mean in your budget you can have like two of those!
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
@Nekki did they charge you VAT? Oneprovider just leave it so wondering how Ikoula do things
It’s tempting as that is, I shall resist.
If anything I’d retain the Terrahost server and ditch WalkerServers.
It says they do, but they didn’t for me, but that’s likely because I live in post-Brexit Britain.
Ah perfect! Brit here too
Disks are 7 year old WD Se’s, no errors logged in SMART.

Can I take your TerraHost? Please
If it goes there’s someone ahead of you in the queue I’m afraid.
YABS as below
@nekki lets see how you install and configure your bare metal servers, how do you put in use igpu, plex? a profitable coin? tell us
O yeh. I recollect. If he passes it pls consider me
Sure, but don’t get your hopes up, he’s mad keen.
Interesting, I lucked out and got a i3-4130
it's fine you are probably 40 and still function right?
A bit older and barely, but yeh
To be honest, probably going to drop this next month and keep my other box - dual core CPU of that age isn't really up to much
What’s the ‘other one’?
Xeon quad I'm afraid - 4TB, 16GB in Paris via oneprovider
I thought the whole point of you doing this was to end up with one box not two!
I'm definitely ditching one, getting everything I need for €18 is FAR too appealing.
2-1=2 🤷♂️
2 + 1 - 1 - 1 = profittt?
How is the box @Nekki so far?

@Nekki
Just FYI, the following dedi was just advertised by Worldstream on OGF today:

So nothing other than Ikoula.
This is a weird server. Hardware acceleration won't kick in unlike my other server with exactly the same CPU/iGPU. Exactly same OS version and and kernel driver installed.

It's feeling a little bit janky....
Sounds like it is a lot of jankiness instead of a little.
The Yeti has left the building.
You might needed to grab our dedi deal (still avaliable).
Spaceberg.cc - Your favorite Seedbox provider!
Out of budget unfortunately. I'm consolidating to save money, not spend more.
@Nekki did you enabled igpu?
It was enabled on delivery as far as I can tell.
Does it show the igpu in the OS? As for jank, that's just how Ikoula works. Everything runs mostly alright once you get it set up, the setup process is just annoying. Quite a bit like OVH lol
I've never had any issues with OVH aside from crap upload and terrible support. The servers run fine and shockingly, actually reboot cleanly.
Does it come with ipmi? Mabey check the bios settings to figure if there is something additionally needed (iommu?)
