I'm once again asking the #Fediverse for a little bit of it's enlightenment.

What non USA-based #VPS are you using, or you recommend?
Currently with Linode. And even though I've just migrated from a Texas located node to a Canadian (Vancouver) one, I would really like to use the services from a company that's not under the jurisdiction of the orange tyrant / clown.
Preferably one that can offer me a machine close to my current location (Mexico).

Atm, #Hetzner , Netcup, Contabo & Mythic Beasts looks promising. Anything I should know before getting involved with any of those?

Thanks in advance for reading!

is there any VPS provider more chad than #Contabo ?? arcanechat.me VPS went down today, the VPS will simply fail to start from the Control Panel, this WAY TOO OFTEN happens during weekends or holidays, their status page says nothing about any problems or maintenance, and if you try to write to support they will tell you "sorry it is weekend, your message will not even be stored" so I guess arcanechat.me will be down the whole weekend >

@Friendica Support

Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.

As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.

This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.

I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

It’s amazing to me just how far ahead of every other VPS provider Hetzner is in terms of server provisioning times. ~2× faster than their nearest competitor. They’re wiping the floor with the rest. For an industry obsessed with performance, this must be very embarrassing for their competitors.

PS. This is something I’ve verified first-hand in my own use of Hetzner and some of their competitors.

VPS Provisioning Times

Time it takes to provision a VPS from the moment the VPS is ordered to the moment the VPS starts accepting connections.

Does anyone have a contact we can talk to at Hetzner to get them working with Fedora CoreOS so it’s supported as a first-class citizen on their platform?

The Fedora CoreOS folks are on board, now we just need someone from Hetzner.

In order to implement support for a new cloud platform in Fedora CoreOS, we need to know several things about the platform. Please try to answer as many questions as you can. Hetzner: https://www.h...

Very impressed with the performance of Wireguard even on a less than €4/month VPS with 2 VCPUs and 2MB RAM.

(The first set of iperf3 results is without Wireguard, the second with.)
