Hi!
You might know me by the PFP and username + I'm also in the Crunchbits Discord server as well.
By the way, I'm back after a while and I see this post.
(I'll be inactive after I posted this comment.)
I honestly wanna say this.
This is very good offer, to be honest.
Meanwhile, I don't need the server.
Also, I have one question.
Did you just violate your own TOS by connecting to the server using your Chromebook?
Well, it's not like I feel "better" than @ExAjiMag or anybody else here. I deeply enjoy being one small part of our LESbian community.
That explanation is not what I meant either... More like... Wow, he has the guts to even ask, right after you expressed disbelief of his identity. I have never seen you use the phrase "I don't believe..." here so I assume this phrase is strong for you.
If you have a bad day or a conflict with someone and make public statements about leaving the forum, "this will be my last post here" etc your account will be considered retired and you will get no warning about this.

Thanks again to @crunchbits for giving MetalVPS this very wonderful server!
There is really fun recent work being invested by @babywhale into developing an open source, bash shell, and libvirt based KVM VPS install script called bashvm. Here's the Github repository. Thanks @babywhale!
One of the many interesting ideas behind bashvm is that it works on the server Node via ssh and command line. Thus, bashvm might be less susceptible to attacks because no web interface is required.
I've run a few tests, and plan to test more as development continues. The script seems to work well! Possibly bashvm could be installed on Crunchy. Awesome Crunchy Neighbors then should be able to install NAT KVM VPSes very quickly and easily! 🤩
As of now, @subenhon and I are the only folks using Crunchy. Neither of us are pushing her at all. So she's quiet. Right now, we might take another awesome Neighbor, or even two. If you might be interested, please do read the OP and the rest of the thread carefully. Thanks!

Hey @Not_Oles brother please accept my request.
I will use the server for to be honest plex (personal use). I need the minimum resources for personal use of plex.

@Not_Oles said: @jgo24 It looks like Plex might not be Open Source?
I received your email. Thanks!
I added the key in my GitHub account. Please check the mail.
I see the key in your Github. Thanks!
Github makes the keys public. It's okay, the public keys are intended to be public.
Then what about jellyfin??
I think Jellyfin probably would be okay. I think it's Open Source. Personally I never ran Jellyfin, and so I don't know anything about it.
I am going to give you an account. Soon, but after breakfast. Welcome to MetalVPS!
Do you know --
How to install Jellyfin, and
Resources needed for your use?
Thanks a lot brother 😍😍🎉🎉 for accepting me.
Yes i know how to install jellyfin in Ubuntu server. If needed further learning i will try to learn and accomplish it. Hoping your cooperation also. Thanks brother 🙏🙏🙏
Happy to add you to the sudo group a little later. It's just that you are a little new around here. Meanwhile, I'm happy to run whatever you need. If you kindly send me the commands you want root to run, that would be great.
Looked on Google and quickly found lots of hits about generating ssh keys on termius. If you generate a key on termius, please send the key to me, and I will add it to your account so you can log in with termius.

I created the termius key and sent you.
Please check
@jgo24 Hmm. How can I say this? I checked a couple things. What I found made me suspect that you know 100 x more than me. And also that you probably have tons of excellent computer and internet resources. So I took the risk of suspending your Crunchy account until we here at LES get to know you better. If you really want a Crunchy account, maybe we can do it before too long. Meanwhile, please hang around here at LES and help folks, including me, by answering their questions. Best wishes!

I don't know why you are saying this brother that i have tons of computer and internet resources. It's not true. And for knowledge I know 100x lesser than you.
But i respect your decision. I respect LES. But it will give me some relief if u kindly tell me what issues suspect u to take that decision against me.
Again saying i am always with your decision. I am always with LES decision.
Welcome to LES! Congrats on your first comment here!
When you read the Original Post in this thread, what did you decide to include when you saw the "Please include" section of the "How To Sign Up" section? Do you have additional information that you want to add to your request?

Thanks for your comment!
The decision I made might be best considered as a decision in your favor rather than a decision against you.
Maybe my decision is offering you an opportunity! Maybe your specific needs might be better served by another provider? If not, maybe we can reactivate your MetalVPS account before too long.
I look forward to seeing you around here at LES, talking with you more, and getting to know you better.

Of course brother 🤗🤗
I am here. I will learn as much as i need. I will try to help the community as much as i know.
We will be talking here further. Thanks brother 😊😊
N.B.: And also reactivate my MetalVPS account when you think it's best for me.
@jgo24 said: N.B.: And also reactivate my MetalVPS account when you think it's best for me.
Nobody ever asked me this before! So I will for sure keep your request in mind!
BTW, where / when did you learn Latin? I had to study Latin for two years in school when I was a kid. It was a long time ago. I have forgotten almost all of it.

Thanks for considering my request 🙏🙏

[N.B. means "Note well."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene#:~:text=Nota bene (%2F%CB%88no%CA%8A,appeared%20in%20English%20writing%20c.) I have seeen "N.B." in English, but only rarely in today's English. As mentioned in the linked Wikipedia article, "N.B." is derived from Latin. So I imagined that you might have studied some Latin. Like I did, bro!
@subenhon said: Seems some test failed, and I dont kown why.
And the server can be reboot at anytime.
Thanks！Tom
Oh! Your Yabs result is really interesting and fun! Thanks for posting! Now I get my chance to see if I can duplicate what you posted! Then maybe we can improve! More before too long!

It's our regular practice (using N.B) in English. I meant in my country. I know it's derived from latin. But we use it as it's an original english 😁😁

Here's another yabs, this time from inside a KVM VM. It's fascinating!
Note that this VM is made a little differently than @subenhon's VM. For this VM I used bashvm, which is a new. very fun bash interface to virsh and libvirt.
I'm running this VM as root, logged in as the user bashvm, via Qemu console. Maybe I get to see some kernel messages that way.
We will have fun figuring out what to do about the segmentation fault! The error message seems to suggest that the CPU might be at fault. Ideas?
There is also the executable stack message about Geekbench. I've seen that before.
Note that the 4k IOPS on the Node is 146.0k and only 95.4k inside the VM. Why such a big decrease in 4k IOPS? Maybe Crunchy needs a libvirt configuration tweak?
Interestingly, CPU and Network performance seem roughly the same inside the VM as on the Node.
I doubt very much that the segmentation fault is caused by bashvm. bashvm has performed super great on other test servers running Debian and Ubuntu. I love bashvm!

Yes. Same in American English. People use N.B. as American English just like you said. Thanks!
@babywhale said: It looks like it has something to do with iperf3, i did a little research and found that people have gotten this type of error before...
Oh yes! Only now do I remember that Mason might have said something about yabs using a "Holy Build Box" iperf3 when iperf3 wasn't installed. Maybe if we install the system's expected iperf3 and the yabs will run fine. I will check this out when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow.
@subenhon If you get a chance, maybe you might try installing iperf3 inside your VPS and running yabs again?
Also, do you want a bashvm VPS in addition to the VPS you already have? I'd be delighgted to make another VPS for you! Long term, you can keep whichever VPS you like best, or keep both if you want. But, if you are happy with the VPS you have, that's just fine keep it the way it is.
Hello again! I installed the expected apt iperf3 package in my test VM and re-ran yabs. Yabs ran okay this time! No segfaults. Yaaay! Disk I/O still shows a little more virtualization penalty than I like. Why? How to fix? Network speeds seem a little slower, but it's the busy time of day. Thanks to @babywhale for giving me a great hint about the segfault! Also for wonderful bashvm! Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy!

@babywhale's bashvm, has been working great on a couple of MetalVPS test servers over at Redacted. One test server has been running Debian 12 and the other test server has been running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Today bashvm was installed here on Crunchy! Now bashvm VMs are available here on Crunchy in addition to VMs hand made with direct calls to Qemu.
@babywhale's bashvm provides a bash shell scripted menu interface to libvirt. Even a clueless™ guy can call bash bashvm.sh and then enter 1 and then 10 to automatically create a Debian KVM VPS with 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB disk. The automatic bashvm VMs get ssh port forwarded plus 20 additional IPv4 ports. They also get an IPv6/128.
bashvm has additional options for creating KVM VMs manually from an ISO, increasing the resources of a VM, etc.
Since bashvm is accessed via ssh into the Node, (1) bashvm doesn't require much overhead, and (2) bashvm may be less susceptible to external attack than VPS creation tools which require, for example, a web server and PHP.
Thanks to @babywhale for working so hard on bashvm! And for making bashvm Open Source under the MIT license!
After installing native fio on both our Crunchy Node and the test VM, Node 4k IOPS seems down from about 146k to 124k. Test VM 4k IOPS seems down slightly from 95.4k to 90.3k.

And to think during the weekend I installed FreeBSD on a small computer at my home just to compile a software (not abuse CPU on a low-end VPS).
I don't know if there are many providers for free shell on FreeBSD.

It's about time for more updates and maybe even a reboot. \o/ When is a good time for the reboot?
Also, if you do not mind, could you please run a yabs inside your vps and post the results?
Thanks!
Tom

Hey @Not_Oles brother please accept my request.
I will use the server for to be honest plex (personal use). I need the minimum resources for personal use of plex.
Thanks Brother 🙏🙏
Hi!
Can you please email me at the address on my profile and from the address on your key? Also, how about setting the key you posted here as the key on your Github account, please?
Thanks!
Tom
Mail sent brother
Please check
@jgo24 It looks like Plex might not be Open Source?
I received your email. Thanks!
I added the key in my GitHub account. Please check the mail.
Then what about jellyfin??
I see the key in your Github. Thanks!
Github makes the keys public. It's okay, the public keys are intended to be public.
I think Jellyfin probably would be okay. I think it's Open Source. Personally I never ran Jellyfin, and so I don't know anything about it.
I am going to give you an account. Soon, but after breakfast.
Welcome to MetalVPS! 
Do you know --
How to install Jellyfin, and
Resources needed for your use?
Thanks a lot brother 😍😍🎉🎉 for accepting me.
Yes i know how to install jellyfin in Ubuntu server. If needed further learning i will try to learn and accomplish it. Hoping your cooperation also. Thanks brother 🙏🙏🙏
Hi @jgo24!
I just made an account for you! I'm looking forward to having you with us and talking with you more here in this thread.
I sent you login information by email, because I didn't want to post the server's IP addresses. Please let me know if you get in okay.
Your user Neighbor account is not yet a member of the sudo group. It's also not yet a member of the KVM group. But we can add you to those groups.
I'm looking at the docs at https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux/
Best!
Tom
Please add me to sudo group. As i mostly use my phone and termius as my ssh client i need password login for easy access.
Sorry if i am asking something beyond your rules.
Thanks brother
Happy to add you to the sudo group a little later. It's just that you are a little new around here. Meanwhile, I'm happy to run whatever you need. If you kindly send me the commands you want root to run, that would be great.
Looked on Google and quickly found lots of hits about generating ssh keys on termius. If you generate a key on termius, please send the key to me, and I will add it to your account so you can log in with termius.
Best!
I created the termius key and sent you.
Please check
@jgo24 Hmm. How can I say this? I checked a couple things. What I found made me suspect that you know 100 x more than me. And also that you probably have tons of excellent computer and internet resources. So I took the risk of suspending your Crunchy account until we here at LES get to know you better. If you really want a Crunchy account, maybe we can do it before too long. Meanwhile, please hang around here at LES and help folks, including me, by answering their questions. Best wishes!
I would like a free VPS
I don't know why you are saying this brother that i have tons of computer and internet resources. It's not true. And for knowledge I know 100x lesser than you.
But i respect your decision. I respect LES. But it will give me some relief if u kindly tell me what issues suspect u to take that decision against me.
Again saying i am always with your decision. I am always with LES decision.
Thanks Brother 🙏🙏🙏
Hi @alamdarzia!
Welcome to LES! Congrats on your first comment here!
When you read the Original Post in this thread, what did you decide to include when you saw the "Please include" section of the "How To Sign Up" section? Do you have additional information that you want to add to your request?
Best!
Tom
Thanks for your comment!
The decision I made might be best considered as a decision in your favor rather than a decision against you.
Maybe my decision is offering you an opportunity! Maybe your specific needs might be better served by another provider? If not, maybe we can reactivate your MetalVPS account before too long.
I look forward to seeing you around here at LES, talking with you more, and getting to know you better.
Thanks again for our discussion here!
Of course brother 🤗🤗
I am here. I will learn as much as i need. I will try to help the community as much as i know.
We will be talking here further. Thanks brother 😊😊
N.B.: And also reactivate my MetalVPS account when you think it's best for me.
Nobody ever asked me this before!
So I will for sure keep your request in mind! 
BTW, where / when did you learn Latin? I had to study Latin for two years in school when I was a kid. It was a long time ago. I have forgotten almost all of it.
For your information I don't know latin. Why do you think brother that i know latin?
😊😊
Thanks for considering my request 🙏🙏
Seems some test failed, and I dont kown why.
And the server can be reboot at anytime.
Thanks！Tom
@Not_Oles
You wrote "N.B."
[N.B. means "Note well."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nota_bene#:~:text=Nota bene (%2F%CB%88no%CA%8A,appeared%20in%20English%20writing%20c.) I have seeen "N.B." in English, but only rarely in today's English. As mentioned in the linked Wikipedia article, "N.B." is derived from Latin. So I imagined that you might have studied some Latin.
Like I did, bro! 
Oh! Your Yabs result is really interesting and fun! Thanks for posting! Now I get my chance to see if I can duplicate what you posted! Then maybe we can improve!
More before too long! 
Reboot coming soon, too, one moment please. . . .
Thanks again!
It's our regular practice (using N.B) in English. I meant in my country. I know it's derived from latin. But we use it as it's an original english 😁😁
Reboot seemed to go okay. More soon. . . .
Okay, here's a Yabs run on the Node. Next up is a VPS inside a KVM VPS so we can compare.
Here's another yabs, this time from inside a KVM VM. It's fascinating!
Note that this VM is made a little differently than @subenhon's VM. For this VM I used bashvm, which is a new. very fun bash interface to virsh and libvirt.
I'm running this VM as root, logged in as the user bashvm, via Qemu console. Maybe I get to see some kernel messages that way.
We will have fun figuring out what to do about the segmentation fault!
The error message seems to suggest that the CPU might be at fault. Ideas?
There is also the executable stack message about Geekbench. I've seen that before.
Note that the 4k IOPS on the Node is 146.0k and only 95.4k inside the VM. Why such a big decrease in 4k IOPS? Maybe Crunchy needs a libvirt configuration tweak?
Interestingly, CPU and Network performance seem roughly the same inside the VM as on the Node.
I doubt very much that the segmentation fault is caused by bashvm. bashvm has performed super great on other test servers running Debian and Ubuntu. I love bashvm!
@subenhon @crunchbits @babywhale
It's interesting about the segmentation errors since other parts of the network testing still works but it does not like the first 3-4 tests.

@babywhale
Here's a bit more from
dmesg.If you want on the server, let me know, and I will drop your key in there.
Thanks!
Yes. Same in American English. People use N.B. as American English just like you said.
Thanks!
It looks like it has something to do with iperf3, i did a little research and found that people have gotten this type of error before...

Oh yes! Only now do I remember that Mason might have said something about yabs using a "Holy Build Box" iperf3 when iperf3 wasn't installed. Maybe if we install the system's expected iperf3 and the yabs will run fine. I will check this out when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow.
Great catch @babywhale!
@subenhon If you get a chance, maybe you might try installing iperf3 inside your VPS and running yabs again?
Also, do you want a bashvm VPS in addition to the VPS you already have? I'd be delighgted to make another VPS for you!
Long term, you can keep whichever VPS you like best, or keep both if you want. But, if you are happy with the VPS you have, that's just fine keep it the way it is.
Hello again! I installed the expected apt iperf3 package in my test VM and re-ran yabs. Yabs ran okay this time! No segfaults. Yaaay!
Disk I/O still shows a little more virtualization penalty than I like. Why? How to fix? Network speeds seem a little slower, but it's the busy time of day. Thanks to @babywhale for giving me a great hint about the segfault! 
Also for wonderful bashvm! 
Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy! 
thats good you solved it

Yeah, but, really, I don't think I would have got it if you hadn't commented about research showing other people got the same error.
Introduction to bashvm
@babywhale's bashvm, has been working great on a couple of MetalVPS test servers over at Redacted. One test server has been running Debian 12 and the other test server has been running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Today bashvm was installed here on Crunchy! Now bashvm VMs are available here on Crunchy in addition to VMs hand made with direct calls to Qemu.
@babywhale's bashvm provides a bash shell scripted menu interface to libvirt. Even a clueless™ guy can call
bash bashvm.shand then enter 1 and then 10 to automatically create a Debian KVM VPS with 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB disk. The automatic bashvm VMs get ssh port forwarded plus 20 additional IPv4 ports. They also get an IPv6/128.bashvm has additional options for creating KVM VMs manually from an ISO, increasing the resources of a VM, etc.
Since bashvm is accessed via ssh into the Node, (1) bashvm doesn't require much overhead, and (2) bashvm may be less susceptible to external attack than VPS creation tools which require, for example, a web server and PHP.
Thanks to @babywhale for working so hard on bashvm!
And for making bashvm Open Source under the MIT license! 
Thanks to @crunchbits for wonderful Crunchy!
Effect of installing native fio
After installing native fio on both our Crunchy Node and the test VM, Node 4k IOPS seems down from about 146k to 124k. Test VM 4k IOPS seems down slightly from 95.4k to 90.3k.
