If I understand right, Otus can do the BGP? So all that's needed is for me to PM the existing IP allocations to Otus?
I need root access to crunchy with the bird2 package, your peering IPs, @crunchbits peering IP and ASN, and thats mostly it. I will be announcing from AS199693.
I will suppose that crunchbits will provide transit.
How could we do it without me giving anyone root access just yet? I'm almost ready to give out root access, but not until after we hear from the other guys who will be using crunchy. I want to know whether it's okay with them to give out root access. If, before too long, it turns out that there are no other guys who are interested in using crunchy, then I will be delighted to consider giving you root access.
Also, I need to read up a little on bird2. I want to understand why you need bird2 while crunchbits can route a /64 to crunchy without bird2. If you know the answer, please share it.

Tldr;
I maybe wrong, but Crunchbits does BGP announcement and IP routings from their router to your VM. For your VM to act like a router and announce IPs, you need to use bird.

Yeah, I can send you the config after you provide me the details I requested. Also I only asked root access for setting up bird, nothing else.
As for the routed /64 by crunchbits, I will be setting up a BGP session with them to announce my ASN while Crunchbits already does that.
BIRD is a BGP Router Software which allows me to establish BGP sessions, there are alternatives like pathvector but I like BIRD more due to the syntax.
You don't need root access.
You just need a user in group bird.
Or run bird using a specific user.
Or alternatively......
I am already in Spokane in @crunchbits's DC and have an active BGP session with crunchbits. I can route you a /48 (I have a /44 from route48) but you'll have to set your IPv6 default route to my VM.
This is probably going to eat my bandwidth. LoL.

@Otus9051 said: I will be setting up a BGP session with them
I am not sure that crunchbits can do a bgp session for crunchy? Maybe bgp is not available for the class of crunchbits servers of which crunchy is a member? Maybe, if bgp were available for crunchy, crunchbits would have been able to give crunchy a crunchbits /48?
@crunchbits, could you please clarify whether Otus' IPv6/48 could be announced by crunchbits and added to crunchy? And, if yes, whether bird2 or equivalent would need to be installed on crunchy?

You are great! Thanks for helping! Why does crunchy need to act as a router when both crunchbits and also Otus and also @terrorgen already have routers or something which acts as a router?

Latency and Simplicity.
If I announce my IPs from Crunchy it would be very low latency, if I tunnel you a subnet, it would probably cost you around 10ms per ping. Which might not seem too bad but it is.

I asked before.
You need to post a photo of wearing Crunchbits red shirt in public.
Then you get BGP session.
@Not_Oles said:

You can restrict sudo access to only birdc and pathvector commands.
If bird2 is packaged same way as Debian, you can also give bird group membership only.

ah thats unfortunate, they mentioned its up till nov 8 2024 thought it might still be available
Admittedly, it's often not easy to quickly see which MetalVPS products advertised in the past are still available!
That said, as far as I can tell, the product advertised in this thread (which dates from November 2023) was re-advertised in the following thread (from March 2024) with slightly different conditions:
"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)

Anybody else want to join the crunchy party?
Thanks everyone!

Hi @terrorgen!
Thanks very much!
So now we might have the choice of using the HE /48, your /48, and Otus' /48. Or maybe even more than one of these. How do we judge which is best?
Also, how come nobody wants to offer crunchy a few IPv4s? I am guessing that here at LES we have a few wild IPv4s that could be added to crunchy?
Thanks again!
