    I suspect there's no great advantage of the 7950X3D over the 7950X other than there'll be some cheaper AX101s being recycled in the server auction going forward.

    AX102 looks nice! Their RX220 also looks nice! :)

    Hi Tom! How are you doing?

    What do you think about having a range of ports with blocked incoming traffic ? Just in case we need to use VNC to connect to our vps or another daemon. Just a range of ports.

    Something like this iptables rule:

    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1024:35000 -j REJECT

    And then, you can allow one specific IP addresses for any user account with a rule like:

    iptables -I INPUT -s X.X.X.X -p tcp -j ACCEPT

    You need theses packages

    apt-get install iptables iptables-persistent netfilter-persistent
    netfilter-persistent save

    Or you can implement a secretly knock a combination of fixed ports to allow our current IP address

    apt-get install knockd -y

    You need to change to configuration files.
    The first one needs our network interface name enp4s0 and activation: /etc/default/knockd

    START_KNOCKD=1
    KNOCKD_OPTS="-i enp4s0"

    The second needs the rules: /etc/knockd.conf
    Port1,Port2,Port3,Port4,Port5,Port6 are any ports outside of the rejected range !
    cpsd@fsn:~$ whereis iptables
    iptables: /usr/sbin/iptables (this binary location can change in other system)

    [options]
    logfile = /var/log/knockd.log

    [openSSH]
    sequence = Port1,Port2,Port3
    seq_timeout = 105
    command = /usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp -j ACCEPT
    tcpflags = syn

    [closeSSH]
    sequence = Port4,Port5,Port6
    seq_timeout = 105
    command = /usr/sbin/iptables -D INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp -j ACCEPT
    tcpflags = syn

    systemctl start knockd
    systemctl enable knockd.service
    systemctl is-enabled knockd.service

    if the service is not starting, you can manually add this command: /usr/sbin/knockd -i enp4s0 in one of the /etc/init.d/ scripts.

    One last thing: the ssh daemon is listening in a port to any ip and its security can be improved with a fail2ban addon:

    apt-get install -y fail2ban
    systemctl start fail2ban
    systemctl enable fail2ban
    vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

    [sshd]
    enabled = true
    port = 42365
    filter = sshd
    logpath = /var/log/auth.log
    maxretry = 3

    systemctl restart fail2ban

    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1024:35000 -j REJECT

    That's a huge range of ports to block for no good reason, especially as VNC is only enabled on localhost by default anyway. If it has been changed for some reason, change vnc_listen back to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.

    If you really want to use VNC with this set to localhost only, you can still use ssh port forwarding to achieve it.

    Greetings Tom!
    Been a while since we spoke, I hope all is well. Looks like you (once again) have a cool thing going on here. I'd be interested in tinkering around in all the wild stuff you get up to in Hetzner ServerLand. I have a few LXC ideas I'd like fiddle with. If you have room and are willing I'd like to join in the fun!
    Thanks, and let me know if you need some other info.

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Provider

    Hello @Nubuki, @thagoat, and @welllam!

    Welcome to MetalVPS! Accounts have been created for each of you! You should be able to login via IPv4 or IPv6 with your ssh key using something like:

    ssh [email protected] -p 42365

    Please don't use the "@" ahead of your nic when you login. For example, @Nubuki should be just "nubuki."

    Your passwords have been made available in a mode 600 file in your home directories. Please feel free to change your passwords.

    You have been added to the kvm group, so feel free to try the slirp kvm if you wish. Probably we need more configuration to be added for more advanced forms of kvm and also for lxc. Maybe you can figure out what we still need and let me know.

    If you have questions or comments, please post them here in the thread. Please also post frequent reports about what you are doing and the progress you are making. :)

    I hope you have fun on the server!

    Best!

    Tom

    I'm a student. Currently im on high school. When i was 12 years old I was curious about how do websites work and made many research about it. Now, i'm 15 and can do many thing about server management, networking, virtualization, containerization, building automations for kvm, lxc, vmware etc. Installing and management for many control panels (hosting, vds/vps, scripts) I don't have blog or personal website bcs i don't want to get indexed by google =)
    Theres so much thing to say about me but I prefer to talk about the future because i don't want to remember that I haven't learn anything until now :p

    Hello!

    Please delay building your VPS until after reading carefully through this thread. Please especially read @cpsd's several excellent comments here in this thread both about @Not_Oles LEB slirp tutorial and about what @cpsd did which goes beyond @Not_Oles' tutorial.

    As lovely as the traditional shell account is, and as underappreciated and wonderful as slirp is, at some point the server node probably needs further configuration for LXC and non-slirp KVM together with appropriate networking.

    Maybe it might be nice to try making non-slirp KVM and LXC tutorials? Maybe a network tutorial?

    What should be next? Thanks very much!

    Best!

    Hi @itsmepaddi!

    Welcome to LES! And to MetalVPS!

    I provisioned your account. Please try something like

    ssh [email protected] -p 42365

    It should work both by IPv4 and Ipv6.

    Your password is in a mode 600 file in your home directory. Please feel free to change your password. Password login has been disabled, so you need your ssh key. You might need your password later, for sudo, but you have not been added to sudo yet. You have been added to the kvm group.

    May I please ask:

    • How did you write your MetalVPS account request posted here in this thread? Your English seems pretty good. :) Did you use AI?
    • I am not asking you to prove anything, but, if you needed to do it, how might you prove that you are "a vocational high school student from Indonesia?"

    I hope you enjoy the server! Please post here in this thread about your progress and about your questions. Posting here in the public thread is great because everybody can learn from your experience and, also, everybody can help you answer your questions.

    Again, welcome! Thank you for joining the server! Best wishes!

    Hi!

    Sorry you are having trouble. Maybe I did something wrong on the server. Let's first use ls -l to look at the permissions on your ssh key files. Are you coming from Linux? If yes, can you please show us your ssh key file permissions? Here are mine:

    chronos@penguin:~/.ssh$ ls -l id_ed25519 id_ed25519.pub 
-rw------- 1 chronos chronos 411 Sep 16  2019 id_ed25519
-rw------- 1 chronos chronos  99 Sep 16  2019 id_ed25519.pub
chronos@penguin:~/.ssh$

    Thanks!

    Tom

    @youself64 said: EDIT: I fixed this error by using ssh -vvv -i sshpublickey [email protected] -p 42365 instead.

    Great that you fixed the issue! Congrats!

    Yeah, I guess the most common errors are forgetting to use the high port and ssh not being able to find or (if findable) to read the keys.

    Thanks for letting us know that the issue was resolved! :)

    Hello!
    I would like to get an account.
    I'm interested with Linux and Virtualization technology like KVM and I'm currently learning about it, so I would like to try Linux and QEMU-KVM (Virtualization) there.
    By the way, I'm a vocational high school student from Indonesia and currently learning about tech-related stuff, mainly focusing on Linux management and Virtualization.

    Here is my SSH key:
    ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIH1AJ0O0J9IrWbGK0eJ6o/4+K8tXOH7uCafQ4djYTB8r eddsa-key-20230419

    Hi @itsmepaddi!

    Welcome to LES! And to MetalVPS!

    I provisioned your account. Please try something like

    ssh [email protected] -p 42365

    It should work both by IPv4 and Ipv6.

    Your password is in a mode 600 file in your home directory. Please feel free to change your password. Password login has been disabled, so you need your ssh key. You might need your password later, for sudo, but you have not been added to sudo yet. You have been added to the kvm group.

    May I please ask:

    • How did you write your MetalVPS account request posted here in this thread? Your English seems pretty good. :) Did you use AI?
    • I am not asking you to prove anything, but, if you needed to do it, how might you prove that you are "a vocational high school student from Indonesia?"

    I hope you enjoy the server! Please post here in this thread about your progress and about your questions. Posting here in the public thread is great because everybody can learn from your experience and, also, everybody can help you answer your questions.

    Again, welcome! Thank you for joining the server! Best wishes!

    Tom

    I actually wrote it myself and I don't use any type of AI to write my request.
    I'm an IT student from a vocational high school in Indonesia. At school, we learn about Linux, Operating System, Virtualization, Web (Web design/coding) and another IT-related stuff.

    By the way, thanks for the account!

    Hi @ExAjiMag! Thanks for your renewed request. Could you please share a little more about

    • who and where you are,
    • your Linux experience, and
    • what you want to do with KVM and LXC on the server?

    For example, merely saying you are a student might not be enough information. Maybe you could tell us whether you are a high school student, a university student, or a graduate student. Maybe you could share about how long you have been using Linux, what distribution you use, and the open source projects, if any, to which you contribute. On the server, what do you want to run on KVM and on LXC?

    Of course I will keep trying to give you a free account. The more information you share, the easier it is to give you your account. :)

    Best wishes and kindest regards,

    Tom

    Hi @ExAjiMag!

    Thanks again for your renewed request! Please ask three people who know you to write references for you and to email their references to me at the address on my LES profile. It would be helpful if at least one of the references is from a teacher or an administrator at your high school and if another could be from one of your parents. I look forward to reading the references and to provisioning your account soon! :)

    Best wishes and kindest regards,

    Hi @Nikitas!

    Welcome to MetalVPS! Your account has been provisioned. Please try something like

    ssh [email protected] -p 42365

    Login should work on both IPv4 and IPv6. Password login has been disabled, but your password is in a mode 600 file in your home directory in case you need it later for sudo. You have been added to the kvm group but not yet to the sudo group.

    It's important for you to know the contents of previous posts in the thread. Please read the entire thread before you start trying to create your first VPS. Check out especially the comments of @cpsd. Make sure to read the qemu slirp tutorial.

    Please post here in this thread about any questions you have and also about what you are doing. It's always good to post in the thread because posting here allows everyone to answer your questions and to be inspired by your successes.

    Best wishes on the server! Have fun! :)

    Another method of increasing the size of the qcow2 file:
    Almost the same as @cpsd method but without the need to increase both /usr and the /var partition

    qemu-img resize debian-sid-nocloud-amd64-daily.qcow2 +20G

    Then:

    qemu-system-x86_64 \
