LES Exclusive: Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3 Unlimited!
Fast-as-metal server share from MetalVPS.com!
Hetzner AX101 Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3!
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X 16-Core
RAM: 128 GB DDR4 ECC
Hard drive: 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSD Datacenter Edition (software RAID 0, 7 TB space available, very fast)
IP Addresses: IPv4/28, IPv6/64
Connection: 1 GBit/s port
Bandwidth: 1 GBit/s
Traffic: Unlimited and free of charge
Datacenter: Hetzner FSN1
OS: Recently moved from Proxmox to Debian sid
Current Offer
Shell account. Shared unlimited access to all resources. At least processor cores could be dedicated if a neighbor uses taskset or a similar tool.
This current setup means, for example, that a single neighbor could run more than one VPS using qemu, could use more than one IPv4, or could store terabytes of data files, etc. Currently there are two terrific neighbors, 🤩 or three if we include me, @Not_Oles. 🤔 Nobody is using significant resources -- thus, much remains available.
No GUI on the node yet. No web control panel yet. Just command line on the node for now. Of course, you can put whatever you want inside your VPS, and we also can add to the node.
The node has git, gcc, and many of their friends.
IPv4 Additional IP Connectivity Status
Neighbors currently using qemu have forwarded ports on the node IPv4 and qemu slirp user mode networking. You can see from the yabs that the slirp speed seems okay.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 additional IPs worked fine on the node and inside VMs when the server was running Proxmox, so I imagine the current issue with the additional IPv4s not working in qemu has to do with my clueless configuration. 😵
I have been reading documentation on qemu.org, on linux-kvm.org, and elsewhere. If I don't succeed in getting IPv4 additional IP connectivity working soon, I will post about it so you guys can pass me a clue. Meanwhile I am enjoying what I wanted, slowly 🐢 learning a little of how the configuration works instead of having Proxmox do it for me.
Nobody has tried LXC yet. But I am sure we will get around to LXC before too long. 🔜
YABS
The links below are to yabs test results. Each result includes the single core Geekbench 5 performance scores listed here:
Effect on bare metal of upgrade to sid: 1723 to 1745
Qemu with and without -cpu host and -enable-kvm: 1524 vs 110
Pricing
Per neighbor: $20.21 per month
When you think about the pricing, please consider that there are very few neighbors and Hetzner receives from me approximately $132.77 per month for the server and its IP addresses. The original pricing calculation is here. Please note that the currently offered unlimited unit size is not the originally calculated unit size.
How to Order

Payments available via Paypal or Stripe.
Warnings!
RAID 0! Fast 409.2K IOPS but when one disk dies the data on both disks is lost! 🤩
Node OS might suddenly change anytime soon! 👍
Hey! It's Debian unstable! 🤩
Grumpy, ignorant, clueless, greedy administrator! 😀
Delivery might take awhile! 😴
@Not_Oles frequently messes up new installs! 😱
No warranty, to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. Not for business use. Intended especially for computer learning and fun!
@Not_Oles tries to keep the system updated. Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed, but uptime is pretty okay. Node load averages usually are pretty low.
Please make your own redundant, offsite backups! It's easy to download your backup to a safe place. Please also make sure that you actually can restore from your backups! Please think of your MetalVPS account as ephemeral!
@Not_Oles rents servers from Hetzner. MetalVPS.com is an indie project of Tom Miller, not an official Hetzner project, and not an official lowendspirit.com project.
Neighbors can see your account name, the processes you are running, and much other information. So, please do not put confidential information on the server.

Have you considered mounting /proc with hidepid?
Since I had not heard of hidepid, I had to look around. . . .
Wow! Interesting! Thanks!

Thanks again to @johnk!

Yeah. It's built in the kernel and pretty frequently used I'd imagine. Just need to be aware that some things need an exclusion (ie, polkitd/nagios/zabbix)
I will be a pleasure. I manage a couple dedis running a java production app that I developed for my company (just internal use) (too many lines of code), plus a few vps where I backup these data and the daily files that my co-wokers use. I enjoy my days improving some database tables or testing some backup scripts what tell me that everything is working fine (at least for the moment).
Anyway I am more a reading guy. I have been in the other green forum for 5 years with three hundred something posts.
Cool! Delighted to meet you! 🌟

Possibly a bit of progress to report!
I've been running around trying all kinds of qemu command line foo ("qemufoo"). I've been wondering about warnings I was getting from qemu via /etc/qemu-ifup, and why vmbr0 wasn't showing up in
ip link show
. After a few more than a few days, I finally looked atsystemctl status networking
, where I saw "Cannot find device 'vmbr0.'" A little googling suggested thatbridge-utils
might need to be installed. 🤦♂️Maybe tomorrow I will try some more qemufoo and see if I have better success now that the bridge might be working.
I will add bridge-utils to my post-install script.
Happy greetings from Sonora, MX! 🎉🥳
