        <description><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Free MetalVPS Intel i9-13900 Traditional Command Line Shell Accounts!</strong></h2>

<p>Friendly greetings to all! 🌎🌍</p>

<h2><strong>What You Get From MetalVPS!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>New <a rel="nofollow" href="https://metalvps.com">MetalVPS</a> Neighbors receive a traditional command line shell account.  Experienced Neighbors with additional privileges can create their own chroots, LXC containers, KVM VPSes, and much more, all directly from their command line shell accounts! 🎁</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex101">Hetzner EX101 Node</a> running an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230499/intel-core-i913900-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-60-ghz/specifications.html">Intel® Core™ i9-13900 processor</a> at Hetzner's Falkenstein Datacenter in Germany. 🇩🇪</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS sometimes has more than one Node.</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is looking for another Node located in the US, on the West Coast, with great connections to Asia.</p></li>
<li><p>All Node resources are available for fair use. 🐷</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>More About MetalVPS!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>MetalVPS is an indie project of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Not_Oles">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tommiller.us">Tom Miller</a> a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy. 🥰</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> pays Hetzner € 89.00 per month, approximately US$ 96.19, for the i9-13900 Node. 💰</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS is not a project of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hetzner.com">Hetzner,</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendspirit.com">Low End Spirit,</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendtalk.com">Low End Talk,</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendbox.com">Low End Box,</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nodeseek.com">NodeSeek,</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="https://freevps.org">FreeVPS.org.</a> 👨‍💻​</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why MetalVPS?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>MetalVPS is <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a>' way of expressing appreciation to the wonderful Low End community for all the fun <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> enjoys here. Yes, it indeed is very fun to <strong>play</strong> with and <strong>learn</strong> about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p>It seems better to offer extra bare metal server capacity to others than to waste it. <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a>' own server requirements are so minimal that he easily could use just a free cloud account. But, that wouldn't be <strong>metal,</strong> would it?</p></li>
<li><p>It seems better to keep everything as open and as transparent as possible. Hence, MetalVPS enjoys its commitments to 100% open source, free or libre software and to public discussion.</p></li>
</ul>

<blockquote><div>
  <p>"For a little while longer I can enjoy renting my own fast, bare metal servers, even though I am using only 1% or 2% of their capacity. It's great with me if a few nice folks come aboard alongside." 💖 <br />

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator with <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3409028/#Comment_3409028">"limited technical skills. . . ."</a> 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is <em>especially clueless™</em> about Debian. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Hey! The i9-13900 Node usually runs <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable">Debian sid <strong>unstable!</strong></a> 🤩  And, it's <strong>RAID 0!</strong> 😭</p></li>
<li><p>The i9-13900 Node's integrated graphics processor is not presently enabled. 😵</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line until you install the GUI that you want. 🆕</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take awhile! 😴</p></li>
<li><p>Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone your backup to a safe place. Please also make sure that you actually can restore from your backups! <strong>Please think of your MetalVPS account as ephemeral!</strong> Your Node might blow up! 💥 At any random second <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> or maybe you might reinstall the Node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians can see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>
<li><p><strong>MetalVPS Neighbors are expected both to monitor and to contribute actively to this thread or to the companion <a rel="nofollow" href="https://nodeseek.com">Nodeseek</a> thread.</strong> 🍔</p></li>

        <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/4j/fi9mqwkfl8gy.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Today I first heard about systemd-nspawn when andrewstuart <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36190040">mentioned it on HN.</a></p>

<p>Doesn't look like there has been much mention of nspawn here on LES, but there is a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.debian.org/nspawn">Debian wiki page</a> and an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-nspawn">Arch wiki page.</a> There is a man page on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html">FreeDesktop.org.</a></p>

<p>Quoting from the Arch wiki: "systemd-nspawn may be used to run a command or OS in a light-weight namespace container. . . . systemd-nspawn is a simpler tool to configure than LXC or Libvirt." Hmm, simple configuration sounds pretty good!</p>

<p>There seems to be an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://hub.nspawn.org/faq/">nspawn.org website,</a> which talks about a wrapper script for easier install, and there is a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/nspawn/nspawn/blob/master/nspawn">Github repo as well.</a></p>

<p>Might a server with a bunch of nspawn containers create an <em>easily configured</em> Low End Empire? 💰</p>

<p>Does anybody here have experience using nspawn?</p>

<h2><strong>Who</strong></h2>

<li>MetalVPS is a project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Why not? It's fun to play with and learn about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> uses very little of his MetalVPS servers' capacity. It's better to offer the extra capacity to others than to waste it.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Open Source</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>Thank you for using open source software <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/heart.png" title="&lt;3" alt="&lt;3" height="18" /> at MetalVPS!</li>

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is especially <em>clueless™</em> about Debian since he is a Debian noob. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Hey! This Node runs Debian sid <strong>unstable!</strong> 🤩  And, it's <strong>RAID 0!</strong> 😭</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line until you install the GUI that you want. 🆕</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎ If you want to make an LXC or KVM VPS, please be willing to research about how to do it on the command line.</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take awhile! 😴</p></li>
<li><p>Accounts subject to cancellation at any time without advance notice! 💥</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No warranty,</strong> to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. <strong>Not for business use.</strong> Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> No copyright violations, please. 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong> It might blow up! We or you might reinstall the Node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS.com is not a project of lowendspirit.com, lowendtalk.com, hetzner.com, or freevps.org. 👨‍💻​</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians can see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Installed Stuff</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>We're just beginning on this Node.</p></li>
<li><p>So far, gcc, git, lxc, qemu-kvm, zsh, and more are installed. Additional configuration is required, but MetalVPSians should be able to compile, to create unprivileged LXC containers, and to create KVM virtual machines.</p></li>
<li><p>Possibilities include installing Go, Plan9port, Docker and Nix. Plus code-server, oksh, Xv6, plan9port, LAMP stack. Plus more. If you want something, please let us know! <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>

<p>MetalVPS is trying to figure out what to do with the new server. It seems to perform very well! However, the EX101 costs € 89.00 per month. It would be great if we could find a way for some guys to enjoy Low End fun on the server while recovering the monthly server rent. If you have a good idea, please post here in this thread. Thank you!</p>

<h2><strong>Who?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>MetalVPS is a project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Where?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>MetalVPS currently has Nodes in Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮 and in Fremont, California USA. 🇺🇸</p></li>
<li><p>The Fremont Node is not included in this offer.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Why not? It's fun to play with and learn about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> uses very little of his MetalVPS servers' capacity. It's better to offer the extra capacity to others than to waste it.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Congrats!</strong></h2>

<p>These congrats are transferred from the Fremont Node. More congrats will be added as people begin to use the new Helsinki Node.</p>

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is especially <em>clueless™</em> about Debian since he is a Debian noob. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Hey! This Node runs Debian <strong><em>unstable!</em></strong> 🤩</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line until you install a GUI or activate whatever pre-installed GUI you want. 🆕</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎ If you want to make an LXC or KVM VPS, please be willing to research about how to do it on the command line.</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take awhile! 😴</p></li>
<li><p>Accounts subject to cancellation at any time without advance notice! 💥</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No warranty,</strong> to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. <strong>Not for business use.</strong> Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> No copyright violations, please. 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are almost guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong> It might blow up! We or you might reinstall the Node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS.com is not a project of lowendspirit.com, lowendtalk.com, hetzner.com, or of Cloudie Networks, LLC. 👨‍💻​</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians can see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Bug Report</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Following the upgrade to sid, reboots sometimes fail to complete until after power is reset. Following power reset, the Node reboots successfully. The issue happened on multiple servers, so it seems not to be a hardware problem.</p></li>
<li><p>Fortunately, after a successful reboot, the server seems stable. A <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script">yabs</a> run just now on sid is shown below.</p></li>
<li><p>The problem might be with dbus. Here is some log output for a failed reboot. The errors at the end seem similar to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876442">Debian Bug 877642.</a></p></li>

<h2><strong>Installed Stuff</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>We're just beginning on this Node.</p></li>
<li><p>So far, gcc, git, lxc, qemu-kvm, zsh, and more are installed. Additional configuration still is required, but MetalVPSians eventually should be able to compile, to create unprivileged LXC containers, and (if added to the kvm group) to create KVM virtual machines.</p></li>
<li><p>Plans include installing Docker and Nix. Plus code-server, oksh, Xv6, plan9port, LAMP stack. Plus more. If you want something, please let us know! <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>

<ul>
<li><p>Alpine Linux seems to have been installed on the MetalVPS antique Intel node at Hurricane Electric Fremont-2.</p></li>
<li><p>Want a free Alpine shell account? <em>Maybe</em> with sudo? 👍 With all node resources shared, fair use? 🎂 Right now plenty of server resources are available because only a few people are using the Fremont node. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Fremont Node Specs</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><strong>Server:</strong> Intel S2600GZ</p></li>
<li><p><strong>CPU:</strong> 2 x Xeon E5-2630L v2,  2 x 6 cores = 12 cores = 24 threads</p></li>
<li><p><strong>RAM:</strong> 32 GB DDR3 ECC (upgrade to 64 GB expected this month)</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Hard Drive:</strong> 1 x 500 GB SSD, 2 x 1 TB HDD</p></li>
<li><p><strong>IP Addresses:</strong> IPv4/28, IPv6/48</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Connection:</strong> 1 GBit/s port</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Bandwidth:</strong> Fair use</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Datacenter:</strong> Hardware rented from Cloudie Networks, LLC inside Hurricane Electric Fremont 2, Fremont, California USA 🇺🇸</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Node OS:</strong> Alpine Linux 3.17 edge! 🤩 NetBSD might or might not be coming soon! ❤️</p></li>
<li><p><strong>VM OS:</strong> Whatever you install!</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Who?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>MetalVPS is a project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Where?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://metalvps.com">MetalVPS</a> currently has nodes in Falkenstein, Germany 🇩🇪 and Fremont, California USA. 🇺🇸</p></li>
<li><p>This thread is for the Fremont node. 🇺🇸</p></li>
<li><p>The Falkenstein node has its own <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/5481/free-debian-sid-intel-i9-12900k-shell-accounts-from-metalvps">offer thread.</a></p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Why not? It's fun to play with and learn about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> uses very little of his MetalVPS servers' capacity. It's better to offer the extra capacity to others than to waste it.</p></li>

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is especially <em>clueless™</em> about Alpine since he is an Alpine noob. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Hey! Fremont runs Alpine 3.17 <strong><em>edge!</em></strong> 🤩</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no billing panel and no server control panel. 🔜 It's all command line until you install a GUI or activate whatever pre-installed GUI you want. 🆕</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎ If you want to make an LXC or KVM VPS, please be willing to research about how to do it on the command line. 🥰</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take awhile! 😴</p></li>
<li><p>Accounts subject to cancellation at any time without advance notice! 💥</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No warranty,</strong> to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. <strong>Not for business use.</strong> Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> No copyright violations, please. 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are almost guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong> It might blow up! We or you might reinstall the node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS.com is an indie project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller with help from the MetalVPSians and many other friends. MetalVPS.com is not a project of lowendspirit.com, lowendtalk.com, or of Cloudie Networks, LLC. 👨‍💻​</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians can see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>

        <title>Is Chroot Still Useful In 2023?</title>
        <link>https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/discussion/5542/is-chroot-still-useful-in-2023</link>
        <pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2023 22:42:35 +0000</pubDate>
        <category>Technical</category>
        <dc:creator>Not_Oles</dc:creator>
        <guid isPermaLink="false">5542@/index.php?p=/discussions</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>Does anybody here use chroot nowadays?</p>

<p>With KVM and LXC and other virtualization technologies being very popular now, chroot might not seem needed very often any more. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun last night making a chroot environment.</p>

<p>With <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian-Installer#debootstrap">debootstrap,</a> the chroot was super fast and easy to set up. It seems to work okay, has network access, I can ssh in, etc.</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot">Wikipedia's chroot article</a> tells the very interesting history of chroot, beginning with its introduction in v7 Unix in 1979. The linked Wikipedia article also contains an interesting section on the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot#Limitations">limitations of chroot.</a> However, the limitations might not be especially significant for every use case.</p>

<p>Is it too crazy to imagine that chroot still might be very useful today? For example, if all one needs is a quick test of something? As another example, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hetzner.com/">Hetzner</a> uses chroot in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/operating-systems/installimage">Installimage,</a> which is one of Hetzner's methods to install Operating Systems on dedicated servers.</p>

<p>Here, from Installimage, are lines 9 through 27 of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hetzneronline/installimage/blob/master/chroot.functions.sh">chroot.functions.sh,</a> where <code>execute_chroot_command()</code> is defined:</p>

<pre><code>execute_chroot_command_wo_debug() {
  local dirs=(/{dev,dev/pts,dev/shm,proc,run,sys})
  for dir in "${dirs[@]}"; do
    mkdir -p "$FOLD/hdd/$dir"
    mount --bind "$dir" "$FOLD/hdd/$dir"
  done
  unshare -f -p chroot "$FOLD/hdd" /usr/bin/env bash -c "$@"
  local r=$?
  for ((i=${#dirs[@]}-1; i&gt;=0; i--)); do
    until umount "$FOLD/hdd/${dirs[i]}"; do :; done
  done
  return $r
}

execute_chroot_command() {
  debug "# chroot: $*"
  execute_chroot_command_wo_debug "$@" |&amp; debugoutput
  return "${PIPESTATUS[0]}"
}
</code></pre>

<p>Please see also <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hetzneronline/installimage/blob/master/functions.sh">Installimage's functions.sh</a> where <code>execute_chroot_command()</code> appears 14 times.</p>

<p>I hope to learn more about the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/unshare.html">unshare system call,</a> which Installimage uses in the function execute_chroot_command_wo_debug(), and which <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_namespaces#Syscalls">"allows a process (or thread) to disassociate parts of its execution context that are currently being shared with other processes (or threads)."</a></p>

<p>People here at LES are invited to teach and learn together with me on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://metalvps.com">MetalVPS.</a> If you think you might like a MetalVPS account, please check the current offer at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/5481/free-debian-sid-intel-i9-12900k-shell-accounts-from-metalvps">Free Debian Sid Intel i9-12900K Shell Accounts from MetalVPS!</a></p>

<p>I wonder how many people here still use chroot? And, besides Installimage, what are other current uses of chroot these days?</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Friendly greetings to all! 🌎🌍</p>

<p>As of January 18, 2023 free accounts remain available! However the server is set to cancel on February 7, 2023. The cancellation might be revoked. Users might be invited to transfer to a different server. This server might be available for transfer if someone wants it.</p>

<h2><strong>What's New?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Proxmox seems to have been installed on a MetalVPS antique Intel node at Hetzner FSN1.</p></li>
<li><p>Want a free account? <em>Maybe</em> with sudo? 👍 Right now plenty of server resources are available because there is nobody using the FSN1 node except <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a>. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /> Fair use, but your VM specs don't have to be tiny. 🐷</p></li>
<li><p>Maybe VMs might be IPv6/128 only for now? If you have only IPv4, perhaps head over to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://route48.org">Route48.org</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tunnelbroker.net/">Hurricane Electric Tunnel Broker</a> to add <strong>free</strong> IPv6 capability. Also consider putting your web service behind a CDN which allows access via IPv4.</p></li>
<li><p>Maybe LXC only for now?</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Node Specs</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>Intel Core i9-9900K</li>
<li>1 x HDD SATA <strong>16 TB Enterprise</strong></li>
<li>2 x SSD M.2 <strong>NVMe 1 TB</strong></li>
<li><strong>4 x RAM 32768 MB</strong> DDR4</li>
<li>NIC 1 Gbit Intel I219-LM</li>
<li>Location: FSN1</li>
<li><p>1 x Primary IPv4, 1 x IPv6/64</p></li>
<li><p>Hardware rented from Hetzner for € 81.70 / month.</p></li>
<li><p>Node OS: Proxmox  for now! 🤩 Gentoo or FreeBSD or NetBSD might or might not be coming soon! ❤️</p></li>
<li><p>VM OS: Whatever you/we install!</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Who?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>MetalVPS is a project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Where?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://metalvps.com">MetalVPS</a> currently has nodes in Falkenstein, Germany 🇩🇪; Dallas, Texas USA  🇺🇸; and Fremont, California USA 🇺🇸.</p></li>
<li><p>The Dallas and Freemont nodes are not included in this free offer.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Why not? It's fun to play with and learn about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> uses very little of his MetalVPS servers' capacity. It's better to offer the extra capacity to others than to waste it. 🤔</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes, when <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> hasn't run <a rel="nofollow" href="https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/operating-systems/installimage/">installimage</a> for awhile, he misses it. 😢</p></li>
<li><p>Maybe the requirement (please see below, <strong>How To Sign Up</strong>) to accompany applications with a link to a post here on LES where you helped someone else might encourage our wonderful Low End Spirit! <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/heart.png" title="&lt;3" alt="&lt;3" height="18" /></p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is especially <em>clueless™</em> about Proxmox since he is a Proxmox noob. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS usually has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line until you install a GUI or activate whatever pre-installed GUI you want. 🆕 Maybe you can use the Proxmox web GUI. Maybe you can make your VM with the Proxmox command line! 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎ If you want to make a VM, you need to know or be willing to research about how to do it.</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take a while! 😴 Accounts might be difficult to get, and there might not be very many accounts, because <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> enjoys servers that are not crowded. 🍔 <strong><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> will go especially slowly on this node!</strong> 🐢</p></li>
<li><p>Both individual accounts and the entire server are subject to cancellation at any time without advance notice! 💥</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No warranty,</strong> to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. <strong>Not for business use.</strong> Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> No copyright violations, please. 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are almost guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong> It might blow up! We or you might reinstall the node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS.com is an indie project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> a/k/a Tom Miller with help from the MetalVPSians and many other friends. MetalVPS.com is not a project of lowendspirit.com, lowendtalk.com, Hetzner, leveloneservers.com, or of Cloudie Networks, LLC. 👨‍💻​</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians might be able to see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>
</ul>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Friendly greetings to all! 🌎🌍</p>

<h2><strong>What's New?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Ubuntu Jammy seems to have been installed on a MetalVPS Intel i9-9900K node at Hetzner Helsinki.</p></li>
<li><p>Want a free account? <em>Maybe</em> with sudo? 👍 Right now plenty of server resources are available because there is nobody using the HEL1 node except <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a>. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /> Fair use, but, if you make a VM, your VM specs don't have to be tiny. 🐷</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Node Specs</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>Intel Core i9-9900K</li>
<li>2 x RAM 32768 MB DDR4</li>
<li>2 x SSD M.2 NVMe 1 TB RAID 0</li>
<li>100 GB /altroot partition</li>
<li>NIC 1 Gbit Intel I219-LM</li>
<li>Location: HEL1-DC4</li>
<li><p>1 x Primary IPv4, 1 x IPv6/64</p></li>
<li><p>Hardware rented from Hetzner for € 53.70 / month.</p></li>
<li><p>Node OS: Ubuntu Jammy for now! 🤩 NetBSD might or might not be coming soon! ❤️</p></li>
<li><p>VM OS: Whatever you install!</p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Who?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li>MetalVPS is not a registered entity. Instead, MetalVPS is an indie project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> IRL <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tommiller.us">Tom Miller</a> a/k/a the <em>clueless™</em> guy.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Why?</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Why not? It's fun to play with and learn about servers, operating systems, and the internet. <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> uses very little of his MetalVPS servers' capacity. It's better to offer the extra capacity to others than to waste it. 🤔</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes, when <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> hasn't run <a rel="nofollow" href="https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/operating-systems/installimage/">installimage</a> for awhile, he misses it. 😢</p></li>
<li><p>Maybe the request (please see below, <strong>How To Sign Up</strong>) to accompany applications with links to posts here on LES where you asked for tech help or helped someone else with a tech question might encourage our wonderful Low End Spirit! <img src="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/heart.png" title="&lt;3" alt="&lt;3" height="18" /></p></li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Warnings!</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀 <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up! 😱</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is especially <em>clueless™</em> about Ubuntu since he is an Ubuntu noob. 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>Sometimes trusted MetalVPSians might or might not get sudo. 🙈🙉🙊</p></li>
<li><p>RAID 0 is faster, but, if one drive goes, everything is gone. 🔥</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS usually has no billing panel and no server control panel. It's all command line until you install a GUI or activate whatever pre-installed GUI you want. 🆕 Maybe you can install and use some kind of web GUI. Maybe you can make your VM with the Ubuntu command line! 🤗</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS has no onboarding and no knowledge base. ♒︎ If you want to make a VM, you need to know or be willing to research about how to do it.</p></li>
<li><p>Account delivery might take a while! 😴 Accounts might be difficult to get, and there might not be very many accounts, because <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> enjoys servers that are not crowded. 🍔 <strong><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> will go especially slowly on this node!</strong> 🐢</p></li>
<li><p>Both individual accounts and the entire server are subject to cancellation at any time without advance notice! 💥</p></li>
<li><p><strong>No warranty,</strong> to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. <strong>Not for business use.</strong> Intended especially for computer learning and fun! 🤑</p></li>
<li><p><strong>White Hat stuff only, please!</strong> No copyright violations, please. 👍</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> tries to keep the system updated. <strong><em>Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed!</em></strong> 🌺</p></li>
<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong> It might blow up! We or you might reinstall the node! 🤦‍♂️</p></li>
<li><p>MetalVPS.com is an indie project of <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> IRL <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tommiller.us">Tom Miller</a> with help from the MetalVPSians and many other friends. MetalVPS.com is neither a project of lowendspirit.com nor a project of Hetzner. 👨‍💻​</p></li>
<li><p>Other MetalVPSians might be able to see your account name, some of the processes you are running, and much other information. So, <strong>please do not put confidential information on the server.</strong> 🤔</p></li>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I am delighted to announce that our gorgeous Darkstar, the world's best Low End server, has been sold and transferred to one of her users.</p>

<p>Happily, Darkstar will continue to run Slackware64-current. Also, in a perfect example of the kindness and generosity which always has characterized Darkstar's users, her buyer suggested without being asked that I leave my user account and root privileges in place for free. As a courtesy, a few less active user accounts were backed up and then removed incident to the transfer.</p>

<p>I doubt that I will visit Darkstar often, but I know for sure that I will visit her from time to time. I will log in whenever I want to remember the greatest of good times that I always enjoyed within Darkstar's community. I send karmic thanks to Darkstar's buyer, and to all our Darkstar neighbors. You know who you are and what you did!</p>

<p>Right now I am looking for another dedicated server. Today I have two at Hetzner, and every day I want a third. Additionally, I definitely am interested in a US location, possibly near New York City or in the Southwest. But, enough talk of new servers for now. Tonight, I am remembering Darkstar!</p>

<li><p><em>Clueless™</em> administrator! 😀</p></li>
<li><p>Hey! It's Slackware-<strong><em>current!</em></strong> 🤩</p></li>
<li><p>KVM and LXC are insufficiently tested on this machine. 🔜 Want to help test?</p></li>

<li><p>Delivery might take awhile! 😴</p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> frequently messes up new installs! 😱</p></li>
<li><p>You might have to do your VM install yourself if <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a> is slacking. 😎</p></li>

<li><p>Please make your own <strong>redundant, offsite backups!</strong> It's easy to download or sync or clone 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 <strong>ephemeral!</strong></p></li>

        <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>LES Exclusive:  Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3 Unlimited!</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Fast-as-metal</em> server share from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://metalvps.com"><strong>MetalVPS.com!</strong></a></strong></p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax101"><strong>Hetzner AX101 Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3!</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>CPU:</strong> AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X 16-Core</p>

<p><strong>RAM:</strong> 128 GB DDR4 ECC</p>

<p><strong>Hard drive:</strong> 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSD Datacenter Edition (software RAID 0, 7 TB space available, very fast)</p>

<p><strong>IP Addresses:</strong> IPv4/28, IPv6/64</p>

<p><strong>Connection:</strong> 1 GBit/s port</p>

<p><strong>Bandwidth:</strong> 1 GBit/s</p>

<p><strong>Traffic:</strong> Unlimited and free of charge</p>

<p><strong>Datacenter:</strong> Hetzner FSN1</p>

<p><strong>OS:</strong> Recently moved from Proxmox to Debian sid</p>

<p><strong>Current Offer</strong></p>

<p>Shell account. Shared unlimited access to all resources. At least processor cores could be dedicated if a neighbor uses <a rel="nofollow" href="https://linuxhint.com/use-taskset-command/">taskset</a> or a similar tool.</p>

<p>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, <a href="https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Not_Oles" rel="nofollow">@Not_Oles</a>. 🤔 Nobody is using significant resources -- thus, much remains available.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The node has git, gcc, and many of their friends.</p>

<p><strong>IPv4 Additional IP Connectivity Status</strong></p>

<p>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 <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/69084/#Comment_69084">slirp speed seems okay.</a></p>

<p>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 <em>clueless</em> configuration. 😵</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Nobody has tried LXC yet. But I am sure we will get around to LXC before too long. 🔜</p>

<p><strong>YABS</strong></p>

<p>The links below are to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://yabs.sh">yabs</a> test results. Each result includes the single core Geekbench 5 performance scores listed here:</p>

<ul>
<li><p><strong>Effect on bare metal of upgrade to sid:</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/68333/#Comment_68333"><strong>1723 to 1745</strong></a></p></li>
<li><p><strong>Qemu with and without -cpu host and -enable-kvm:</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/69084/#Comment_69084"><strong>1524 vs 110</strong></a></p></li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Pricing</strong></p>

<ul>
<li><p><strong>Per neighbor:</strong> $20.21 per month</p></li>
<li><p>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 <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/56329/#Comment_56329">here.</a> Please note that the currently offered unlimited unit size is not the originally calculated unit size.</p></li>
