Before you buy anything, I recommend trying out your soft on cheap dedicated ARM servers It worked almost fine for me. Boot latest Ubuntu (not LTS, but latest release). Use GHC from here. Put library-stripping: False into your cabal config to omit ton of warnings as per issue.
As for "what to buy" – I'd go with Raspberry Pi, but only "Raspberry Pi 2" version, since it's ARMv7, which is supported by Ubuntu and can also have these GHC binaries. I never tried other boards, but probably any ARMv7 would do.
Get a Scaleway VPS for one month for €3, unlimited 200Mbps. Set up rclone on the VPS. This is by far the cheapest and fastest way I have found through researching.
Bonus: If your transfer take less than a month, then you are only charged for the hours you used which can be much less than €3.
Another option: Google Cloud Compute trial offers $300 free compute credit for 60 days. That should be plenty of credits and time to setup virtual machine with a rclone transfer. Thanks /u/LtRipley36706.
Edit: I am currently testing using Google Cloud Compute, and it is transferring from ACD to GDrive at 300-400Mbps. Edit 2: Getting 900Mbps+ transfer from ACD to GDrive using Google Cloud Compute.
- Do not host an Exit at home
- If you want to run a relay, get yourself a cheap VPS. They start as low as 2 Euros a month https://www.scaleway.com and have much more upload bw (100 mbit in the case of the 2 Euro VPS) as a normal home user.
- You are already under attack. If you install a firewall you will notice that botnets will constantly probe your IP. Tor will not change this to the better or worse.

> Dedicated servers mean you have to handle redundancy entirely on your own.
No. Dedicated (or even "bare metal") doesn't imply "unmanaged." See, for example, https://www.scaleway.com/baremetal-cloud-servers/. Rather than an IaaS API that controls a bunch of hypervisors, it's an IaaS API that controls a bunch of server baseboard management controllers. Same functionality, same automation.
> "reach a big of an audience as possible": dude you are posting links on Reddit. You can post your selfhosted link on reddit.
Still less exposure than youtube.
> "selfhosting costs money": you can't afford USD2.99/mo for unmetered bandwidth? https://www.scaleway.com > "selfhosting is not easy": you can't copy a .wemb file to your hosted server? It's that easy now HTML5 has been here a few years.
Still more work and cost than youtube.
If cost is your main concern then you shouldn't use Heroku. Get a server at Scaleway, learn to deploy your app manually. Scaleway is ridiculously cheap, even cheaper than Digital Ocean: only 19 EUR/mo (about $22/mo) for an 8 core server with 16 GB RAM. The same hardware would cost you more than $500/mo on Heroku, or $160/mo on Digital Ocean. The only caveat is that Scaleway's servers are in France.
Passenger has an excellent tutorial on deploying a Rails app to your own server: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/
Have you considered doing some budget war of the cheapest options out there? (i.e Scaleway's 2.99€ ARM server alongside the €5.99 online.net SC Gen2 and a third one)
I'm really into all the budget options out there. They usually provide great value because of the low price. I can also donate a Scaleway server if you need one. Either with their Torrent template or a fresh one, whichever you prefer, if they have any available
Like I said, you can get machine with a 500GB of hard drive, with a bandwidth up to 1GB and with at least 250 MBPS for about 6 euro / month: http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-scg2
it might not load as "fast" as amazon (as it's not a CDN), but it's fixed costs. If the bottleneck is the bandwidth, not the storage, you can get this: https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ for 3 euros a month, you do have 50GB of ssd and 200 Mbps guarantee.
Also, I might understand that if a 1000 person are connected to a channel, all dancing with different character, it might be really consuming in bandwidth. (and expensive with aws), so why not disabling that view?
Finally, I do agree that plug.dj wouldn't be like it is today if it had not been a business. However, most listeners are happy with the current state.
Use the $2.99/mo server here:
They charge by the hour so it can be really cheap.
It says 200/200mbit/s but I moved 25TB at 350mbit/s a few weeks ago and it only cost $1.50.
Use rclone on the VPS to move it. It would take probably 24 hours to move 3TB and cost only like 25 cents.
I recommend installing a Pi-Hole in your home system. It blocks trackers pretty reliably through DNS filtering and redirecting. It works well for Apple devices that don't have hard coded DNS settings like some Android phones do.
You can even set your phone to access the Pi-Hole from outside via VPN and route your cellular data traffic through it.
60GB is almost nothing. I would personally go with a small VPS, for example Scaleway, which gives you the option of storing files (through OwnCloud) but also to do many more things. But if you just need 60GB of Storage perhaps Dropbox / Google Drive or similar options might be a lot easier to get into.
It really depends on what your personal knowledge and preferences are. 60GB is nothing and could easily go on a USB-drive, for example. You said in the title you wanted to store "offline" but then said Amazon Glacier as an example, which is an online service. What exactly do you mean?
Online Labs is doing essentially this with ramped up Raspberry Pi's in their Scaleway platform.
I can't find the blog post, but a blade of them have the advantage of dedicated network communication, as well as an SSD-based back end.
You can start here : https://www.scaleway.com/docs/create-gpu-instance/
I recommend you choose an "ML" OS image. Use the 9.2 or 10.1 depending on the cuda version you need (9.2 for TF, for example).
You need to add a public ssh key so that you can ssh into your instance once it's created.
The OS comes with conda pre-installed (if you've never used conda, I recommend it ;), basically, it lets you manage different python environments).
Once you've started the instance, you just need to do a 'conda init'
And then if you need a keras environment, for example : 'conda create --name keras-env keras-gpu'
And you're set.
You can start your jupyter notebook on your brand new remote server, and then you can use ssh tunneling to connect to it from your local machine (see https://www.blopig.com/blog/2018/03/running-jupyter-notebook-on-a-remote-server-via-ssh/ for an example).
-> I'll probably add this to the list of articles in the documentation
So that you have more to choose from, I'd like to add Scaleway to what /u/valgrid posted. I personally use Scaleway. Check out the virtual servers or the bare metal ARM servers. Both options are pretty inexpensive and offer unlimited traffic at 200-300 Mbps. This would fit your budget nicely at 11.99 EUR:
- ARM64-8GB
- 8 ARM 64bit Cores
- 8GB Memory
- 200GB SSD Disk
- 1 Flexible public IPv4
- 200Mbit/s Unmetered bandwidth
They only have servers in Amsterdam and Paris though.
I tried Scaleway once. The server was so slow I waited ages for initial dnf update to complete. I canceled order, moved to kimsufi and never looked back. Kimsufi is slightly more expensive (4 euros per month), but you get Atom processor (ie. you can install regular x86 distro) and real, dedicated SSD disk.
Btw. I find it disingenuous that Scaleway "bare metal" servers have network attached disks and it's not clearly stated in landing page. It borders on false advertisement, if you ask me.
So are these "servers" like Scaleway?
I signed up and requested an instance, we'll see how it works. Looks like I have to wait for them to manually create the instance.
That's just a testbench - most of the board you see there and the network jack are stand-ins for the giant board that they'll be putting a bunch of those nodes on.
Here's what the actual node looks like: https://www.scaleway.com/img/c1.fdf7.jpg
Backplane with nodes: http://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/OnlineLabs-C1-FrontBoard.jpg
Storj is 0.01$ per gb per month ( https://tardigrade.io/ )
Scaleway is 0.01€ per gb per month (with the first 75gb being free) ( https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/ )
Fairly comparable, if you ask me.
Are you using "gradient" or just getting an instance ?
I used their services when I did the fastai course.
At the time, Jeremy Howard was "advertising" for them, and you could get 15$ credit with a fastai coupon (I believe it was the version 1 of the course?).
I liked it overall, even though I had some frustrations here and there. I did get the public IP and was ssh-ing to the server, I used their fastai image, only running jupyter anyway.
I didn't try their more recent web tools...
--
Now for a bit of self promotion : that was all before I joined Scaleway (a French Cloud Service Provider).
We've launched GPU instances recently, so if you're up for trying something else : https://www.scaleway.com/en/gpu-instances/
We're giving you 100h of P100 16Gb for free for the first month, and your instance comes with the Nvidia drivers, conda, and nvidia-docker (if you chose to use the custom built OS image under "GPU OS").
If you try it, let me know what you think !
BiblePay is CPU only for both PoBH (Proof of Bible Hash) and PoDC (Proof of Distributed Computing). PoBH is proof of work with some tweaks.
On vultr, they will reset your VPS if you run at 100% cpu. So, at most you could probably use 50% safely. On the biblepay.conf, you would need to add a line called minersleep=500 which means biblepay miner sleeps 500ms per 1000ms.
another idea is to go the "unbanked" route and do PoDC. where you don't need to stake anything to mine and must use ARM processors only (e.g. Android phones or ARM based CPU). You can look at running BOINC and earning BBP using PoDC. I saw this place where you can rent bare metal C1 ARM server.
Scaleway has this new NVMe server 1GB RAM, 25 GB SSD for 2 euro/month or 2.4 USD/Month, it is kind of meh for most people, but maybe for ultra cheap seedbox it is not a bad deal.
Check other products at https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/
I personally like "ARM64-2GB" cause it has double RAM, double disk, double Bandwidth speed for just 1 euro more per month
2GB RAM, 50 GB HardDisk and 200 Mbits/S at 3 euro/month
Scaleway (EU-based) is pretty cheap and I haven't had any issues with performance/reliability. There's sometimes a lack of availability of the smaller instances, but if you're going to spin up an instance and keep it running permanently, that won't affect you.
Or if all you care about is number of cores, consider going ARM. A single ARM core will be much slower than a typical X86 core though, so it probably doesn't make sense.
https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/
32 cores for 70 Euros. They are mostly sold out at the moment though.
I've found nothing cheaper than Scaleway: 2 x86 64bit Cores, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD, 200Mbit/s Unmetered bandwidth for €2.99.
Their documentation is not on the same level as DigitalOcean but it's good enough. As for support, I don't really know, I'm just running some static websites and I haven't encountered problems so far.
Not sure what the cheapest VPS is these days, but you're looking at around €4 per month. You'll need more than 50GB space for a full node until pruning becomes properly functional.
>Does this mean that I can connect my Mycelium to my node so that it uses my node's copy of the blockchain to validate transactions and to push them?
That's the idea, but it's not operational in Mycelium yet.
I use this one: http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-scg2
Servers in France, 5.99€/month (6.5$) for dedicated host with 500GB hybrid SSD, 1Gbit/s unmetered network, /48 block IPv6 and 2GB RAM. Very good support, with a lot of extras bundled into the admin panel. Very happy with them.
They also have https://www.scaleway.com/ it looks like, which I haven't looked too much into.
I actually haven't gotten around to it yet - I just know the theory.
When I say "VPN" I mean you have to set up your own VPN server, probably through AWS Lightsail or similar. And then you have to configure your phone to route all traffic through the VPN. You should then be able to feed all the traffic through PiHole from the VPN server.
I haven't tried it myself, but this article appears to have the right idea: https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/tutorials/pihole-vpn/
Sorry, I've meant "Scaleway", Scalable was the stock broker :D
https://www.scaleway.com/en/object-storage/
EDIT: Also in Amsterdam, not Frankfurt. Sorry, that's just a fire&forget service provider for my ATM, had my media there for about 1-2 years now and the bill is extremely low.
my personal fave OVH
For 5-10$ a month you will get a pretty decent vps which will handle everything you throw at it, especially for a single server bot!
​
For example i had a League Of Legends discord bot on with over 3500 servers and 100,000 users running on a digitalocean £5 droplet and a mongo database
Leyendo el post principal vi que tu intención es hostear ARK. Y encontré ésto en Scaleway que te puede interesar.
En cuanto a requisitos de juegos no te se decir porque no conozco ARK y no suelo jugar a casi nada. Según el link que te pasé recomiendan la plataforma Dev1-L que sale 36 dolares al mes.
I'm not sure how much space we're talking about, but Scaleway / Online offers 75GB of S3 compatible object storage for free, which AFAIK can be mounted via rclone mount (although I haven't used it this way, but only via rclone sync).
Your requirements (50GB/mo) are really, really, really minimal, so you only need something very barebones. Even a budget seedbox ($5-7 from providers like Seedhost.eu, Seedbox.io, etc.) would be overkill. More expensive boxes offer features like Plex media streaming.
I'd recommend a Scaleway €1.99/mo or €2.99/mo VPS (25GB or 50GB disk space, respectively). It takes just a click to boot up a pre-configured seedbox. No tech/Linux knowledge is required; you just need to click a few times in the right places.
The server is even billed hourly at €0.004-0.006/hr (no typo), so if €1-2/mo savings is worth the hassle to you, you can download the 50GB you need for literal pennies per month if you delete the server instance when you're done downloading.
I never used Google Compute, so I don't know sadly, but Scaleway is often suggested as cheap low end seedbox in this subreddit.
Model - ARM64-2GB CPU:4 ARMv8 RAM: 2 GB SSD: 50 GB Connection: 200 Mbits/s unmetered, Price €2.99/mo
And my favorite is in Amsterdam
Model - START1-XS CPU:1x86 64bit RAM: 1 GB SSD: 25 GB NVMe Connection: 100 Mbits/s unmetered, Price €1.99/mo
Also, they make it really easy to install seedbox, no linux knowledge required at all, one click install

https://www.scaleway.com/ if you are in the EU, they have VPS servers and small ARM baremetal boxes that are all yours for the same price. From 2EUR all the way to 180EUR for pro servers with 120GB of RAM and 12 cores. You pay by the hour. Can start and stop servers with an API so horizontal scalability is there if needed. You can also just pull the plug on the server, keep the drive, plug it into another more powerful server in minutes. Snapshots, custom images, all the regular VPS stuff.
Scaleway (une filiale de Online.net, cocorico) pourrait t’intéresser, ils proposent des machines virtuelles peu chères, à partir de 1,99€ / mois. Et surtout des "images" toutes faites permettant d'avoir une interface graphique pour gérer ses torrents en quelques clics: l'image "Torrents"
Tu peux ajouter des disques en payant un peu plus. Tu as aussi Scaleway https://www.scaleway.com/ qui propose de très bonnes machines pour pas cher.
FreeNAS https://freenas.org/ est un OS de serveur de stockage et partage de fichiers, qu’on installe sur une machine.
> Can I ask who you use for hosting? Because I'd struggle finding simple website hosting for that low.
I just discovered these guys:
Even cheaper than Hetzner. Maybe worth a try.
I’ve been using OpenVPN and deluge on a Scaleway C1 - it’s like 3€ per month (50GB storage, 200Mbit unlimited). You can check out their pricing here . I also use this box for public torrents and haven’t had any issues with copyright notices
I use Scaleway and I've had no problems so far.
I'm pretty sure the lowest tier is enough for you unless your bot is in an absurd amount of servers, and it costs only 2€/month.
Scaleway or Vultr with $25 free credit
Scaleway is unmetered. Vultr has limited bandwith, but you get $25, so you can basically use it for free for some time.
Both have limited space, though. I assume that you want to reupload the videos, right?
If not, I don't think there is an option with much space. The cheapest option, that would come to mind, would be S-WIND on ultraseedbox. 300GB Disk, unmetered download, but "only" 1TB upload for 4.75€.
I understand it is possible but not trivial. I am using their own provided kernel that includes bbr and all most shiny things.
Oh. :D
I use Scaleway. (I don't think they have a referral program.)
I'm using the smallest VPS atm, which is 2.99€ (or 3.59€ if you're in the EU (they are legally required to charge tax there)) per month.
> The cost I am talking about is another $10ish a month, when I have a perfectly good underutilized server there.
Trust me, it's worth it to go for a VPS. You'll avoid disclosing your personal IP address and it's just so much easier to manage than dynamic DNS.
You can get a decent VPS starting from 3€/month from Scaleway, located in Paris or Amsterdam: https://www.scaleway.com/
CloudFlare is free and handles CDN so the latency isn't brutal for US visitors.
> Plus I would also like the experience.
By all means, host a server from your house for the experience, but if you're serious about running a blog and don't want it to look like amateur hour, use a VPS. It's worth the money.
I happily pay Scaleway for a VPS to host my blog because the alternative is constantly messing with dynamic DNS, worrying about skiddies getting my IP address and DDoSing me or SWATing me or having to keep my home infrastructure running 24/7/365 so the blog is up.
Alternative options are always a wordpress.com blog or blogspot.
You can upload alot and pay only for hours you used. There is this script/command called "rclone", I used it few times and upload is fast, not sure how speed it was ..

He paid like 6 cents to upload 1.1 TB to Google Drive
> Sign up for a Scaleway VPS (https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ the 2.99/mo option is perfectly fine)
I'll do you one better: Just get an f1.micro instance on Google Cloud. Every Google Cloud account gets 1 free f1.micro instance for life. Its not as powerful as the Scaleway offering, but it is free.
Yea, I totally get that. Raspberry Pis are great for small bots and my first Raspberry Pi was also my introduction to Linux, I always recommend getting one. If you want to you can also host a bot with the free AWS tier, I've seen many people using it for that (I use Scaleway myself).
They say they've got a 100% uptime SLA but then completely neglect to mention what happens when they do go down. If something disasterous happens then is there any way of getting "remote hands" to diagnose it or reset something? Is there any way of cycling power remotely? It is all very vague and they don't appear to have any T&Cs available to read.
For that price, I'd go for a cheap VPS or something like Scaleway.
2G is barely enough, sometimes you get regressions where a compile starts using 4+GiB of memory.
I use the scaleway arm boxes to test arm builds for alpine linux. It still takes about 12 hours to build ghc though.
https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/
I also preordered one of these boxes last month, waiting for it to arrive: https://www.solid-run.com/product/armada-8040-networking-community-board/ https://www.solid-run.com/marvell-armada-family/armada-8040-community-board/
A cortex a72 64bit arm should really help out reducing compile time. And it fits in an itx case. Should still run 32bit armv7 stuff fine.
Just bought one from Scaleway.It is 2,99 euros a month but don´t know for Nepal. Check that out! For domain name Mercantile . This is free !
>can I do this and use it as a seedbox at the same time
Yes, you can run a VPN software and a torrent client at the same time. Simplified, they're just programs running on a computer, and computers have been capable of multitasking for quite some time.
What you need to get started would be some knowledge on how to use GNU/Linux remotely via an SSH connection, and how to secure your server.
Cheapest dedicated servers would probably be from Kimsufi, Online.net or Scaleway.
What are you using so much storage for? You can get a 50GB VPS for 3 Euros at Scaleway. Web hosting is managed and therefore more expensive, 1and1 offering so much probably just means they use mechanical disks rather than faster SSDs.
так ніхто не питав. https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/#pricing_vps (єдине, що нема centos із коробки). Надіюся через них digitalocean почне теж скидати ціни. А як залізні брати потужні - то тут Hetzner рішає.
They actually have deployers for about 40 different 'suites,' including WP and Owncloud already.
It's so cheap I'm looking into using a few for personal stuff. :)
Bloody hell, that's a cheap price.
It also linked across to: https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ which is €2.99 /month for a dedicated ARM quadcore. Which sounds pretty fantastic compared to many cheap VPSs, I'll be honest.
Thanks.
So I ran KeyBERT (BERT for keyword extraction) in free Colab. 3 large paragraphs of text, extract 3 keywords. It took 41 seconds.
How do you think that will compare to this? It’s a Tesla P100 16GB. https://www.scaleway.com/en/gpu-instances/
Are we talking more than twice as fast, perhaps?
Ten times as fast?
Thank you
If anyone would like this might I suggest buying a small device called a Raspberry Pi (the latest version you can) install PiHole, openVPN and Unbound and you have a safe secure ad/malware/spyware/tracking blocking VPN you run manage and own?

You're not even trying to make an argument for volume pricing, only generic 'hardware black box, surely they know how to do data centers hurr durr'. If it were hard to admin with larger bandwidth usage then they would have usage limits. Or they would have tiered service based on the endpoint of a connection, or have surge pricing, or bulk pricing. It's almost purely for lock-in. You're paying completely disproportional to the hardware and software investment to handle that specific traffic you're paying for. 'Pay only for what you use', my ass.
It seems doable to run a business on bandwidth based pricing at least for competitors.
https://www.scaleway.com/en/c14-cold-storage/
On the front page:
- Free archiving & restoration
Pricing:
https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/#c14-cold-storage
Keep in mind you need to restore to Object storage first before you can access it, this is free.
I was somewhat wrong about the transfer prices though, this is €0.01/GB for their Object storage. Which is €10/TB.
If DigitalOcean is not a must you might as well try Scaleway's Stardust instance for 0,0025EUR/hour+VAT or netcup's VPS 200 G8 for 0,004EUR/hour incl. VAT. I'm using the latter as a VPN GW as I'm behind a CGNAT and no static IP's at home. https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ https://www.netcup.de/vserver/vps.php
Hello, you can use something called a reverse proxy. Its basically going to be the application everyone is going to access then that will handle user's requests to different places depending on your configuration.
Here's a step by step guide for nginx. https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/tutorials/nginx-reverse-proxy/
>How can I do the reverse proxy thing?
https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/tutorials/nginx-reverse-proxy/
>afaik forwarding a port to the entire internet is not a good idea
It's neither a good idea nor a bad idea. It's an option is all. While technically that does open you up for potential "attacks" if done smartly it isn't this awful thing that should never be done.
I personally wouldn't directly forward your ESXI web gui but I also don't know much about it. With that in mind I suggested with a reverse proxy method to act as an in between as I'm familiar with the usage. Using a reverse proxy you could also enable basic http auth and also use SSL encryption.
I didn't use it, but when I searched a solution for this kind of problem, I found a provider for Apple M1 as a service : https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ . I think it could work for compilation, but not sure about testing your game with that, maybe it'll be too much laggy.
Kubernetes is solving all those problems, but it does need some management. Luckily, there are now many new manages kubernetes solutions, gthat make deployment easy. Examplen: https://www.scaleway.com (there are many alternatives - can search)
Also you could look at serverless, like app engine. Or look into the alternatives, as they reduce complexity a lot and great for straight forward applications. https://blog.back4app.com/google-app-engine-alternatives-free/
what about scaleway? https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/
they got a bumpy start like very few instances available per region and occasional downtime but it improved now. Main is in France, theres also in warsaw and netherlands.
https://www.scaleway.com/en/faq/where-is-my-data-hosted/
not crypto payment though
>Scaleway C14 Glacier
Interesting. Am I reading their page right? They don't charge upload and download transfer costs? So it is just the storage cost €0.002/GB. ($0.0024/GB USD) Which in my case would only be ~ 12.29 a month (.0024 * 1024 * 5).
I see documentation on their site on how to map a standard Scaleway Object Storage to Hyperbackup (https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/backup-synology-nas-on-s3-object-storage/) But nothing on the C14 Glacier Object backup. The Glacier Backup system in Synology doesn't allow a Custom URL yet, just region selection from Amazon.
I can understand their position, but they really need to add it to their TOS and not a blog post. Their service is European based (France) and they have a great TOS that does not prohibit anything that is not illegal. They have no use based restrictions (i.e. banning cryptocurrency mining).
In this blog post, they cite section 9 of their existing TOS, but it says nothing related to the use of the service they provide which they arbitrarily deem overuse.
Section 9.2 of the TOS https://www.scaleway.com/en/terms/:
>Users alone are responsible for direct or indirect, tangible or intangible harm, caused to SCALEWAY by themselves or by persons for whom they are responsible, due to the use of the Services and undertake to guarantee SCALEWAY against all demands, complaints or sanction to which it may be subject when such are the result of the wrongful use of the Services by Users or persons for whom they are responsible or when they are the User’s fault. Users alone are responsible for the consequences of operating failures affecting the Service as a result of use of the Services by third-parties, members of their staff or any person with whom Users may have shared their identifiers.
Scaleway would need to claim that they suffered direct damage by customers using their instances with SSDs... for using the SSDs. It's a content based restriction rather than a use-based restriction, which is dubious.
Section 2.2 probably comes closer, as it states:
>Users must under no circumstances do anything to harm the Server’s integrity, and responsibility for the risk of intentionally damaging the Server is transferred to Users from the time it is made available. Users undertake to comply with all instructions relating to the Server’s use.
Anyways, I'll stop using them for plotting since I otherwise respect them. It was good while it lasted.
If you're okay with using dedicated host, I would recommend using online.net: https://www.scaleway.com/en/dedibox/pricing/?family=START with linux and the software stack of your choice. Personally I use this for years and I have no problems with it.
You can also look at ovh/soyoustart servers.

IMHO Scaleway has pretty decent prices.
I'm not sure whether this is of any help for you but I'm using the S3 compatible object storage from Scaleway. The pricing for this is awesome as well and I mounted it as encrypted storage via <code>rclone</code>. So even Scaleway wouldn't be able to see what is stored. And rclone is also pretty simple to setup. This sure also has disadvantages but it fits my perfectly well to my setup.
May I ask what you're storing?
probably best to look up specifically what plugins you use and whether or not people are having issues with it. if you need AE for your job you could also rent a M1 in a cloud for a day and test out if things work or not, would probably only cost a dollar or two.
I think I found a solution in case anyone comes across this thread but it’s definitely not easy but it requires you to use an RTMP server with VLC player . Il like an instructions page

Ahoj, tiez som zo Slovenska. (aj ked tam uz nejaku dobu nezijem)
Do you need to deploy your own k8s cluster? That feels like huge yak shaving project wasting the time you could spend doing some actual work.
Would managed cluster be an option? Something like Scaleway Elements Kubernetes Kapsule would probably be enough for your use case. And it might cost peanuts with some reasonable sized node type. (IIRC they have "dev" nodes that cost about €10/month to run) They run the control plane for free I think.
Disclaimer: I haven't used their k8s solution, just looking at the docs. I have experience with AWS EKS and GCP, but those solutions are probably a bit too involved for your use case.
Sounds like it's just easier to have a reverse proxy like Nginx listening on port 80 which sends the request to port 8000 internally. From nginx
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/
Some nice third party guides out there as well https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/how-to-configure-nginx-reverse-proxy/#:~:text=Nginx%20HTTPS%20Reverse%20Proxy%20Overview,response%20back%20to%20the%20client.
Do you not see them, or are they "temporarily out of stock"? If it's the second, it's normal. They have a limited number of them on offer, you can ask to be notified of them being available here. They seem to be running a campaign, so maybe they sold out.
Otherwise, they show up for me in the create a new instance page, on the Paris 1 and Amsterdam regions (not available in Paris 2 or Warsaw).
For plex, if you want to rent a server you dont have to have a lot of storage, you can use this little trick that let's you use S3 / a S3 compatible server to store your file. That's all depending on the depth of self-hosting you want to get to
https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/configure-plex-media-server-with-object-storage/
maybe https://www.scaleway.com/en/dedibox/start/start-2-m-sata/
problem with image processing is that it's so cpu-intensive, most VPS providers won't tolerate image processing, so a dedicated server may be needed.
btw are you doing single-threaded image processing, or are you using multiple cores for the processing? (the cpu for the server i linked above have horrible single-thread-performance, but tolerable multithreading-performance, with price taken into consideration)
It's not a step by step guide for your exact use case, but you should be able to extract sufficient useful reference material from this guide: https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/how-to-configure-nginx-reverse-proxy/
VPS is actually very cheap if you know the good providers,
Check for example https://www.scaleway.com/en/stardust-instances/ where you can have an instance for 1.8 euro / month (but they are usually out of stock so you need to watch them for availability)
OVHcloud also has compute instances starting at 3 euros / month
afaik there's ways to detect virtual cards. I can say from experience that Scaleway rejects them. Though I do like Privacy.com, so it kinda sucks when websites block virtual cards
I'd recommend using a reverse proxy like nginx: https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/how-to-configure-nginx-reverse-proxy/ let the reverseproxy handle all the https/tls/ssl stuff and do everything after that in plain http in your (virtual)network then even containered services should be fine
I've also compared prices but AWS came out too expensive. For now I'm using Scaleway Start-3-L which has only 256 x 2 (in RAID) but running geth in light mode. I'm still waiting to be activated as a validator so can let you know later on if it works :)
OP, you can see in my other comments here that I am trying to do this as well. Well, I just wanted to let you know that the Wireguard mesh network was a REALLY easy setup, and worked fucking fantastic. That's the clear winner IMHO for setting up a public-facing cluster in a reasonable secure manner. In particular, this little utility I got from this link just spat out working configurations.
The literal only thing I had to change in my configuration (other than using the private Wireguard IP's) was setting my CNI MTU to 80 less than it was previously. Everything else was straightforward and the same.
Both are correct. If you run multiple servers (on the same machine) each has to use a different port.
You can 100% use a reverse proxy like nginx, to route traffic to different internal services, that is a very standard use case.
Here is a very simple configuration, which forwards traffic to port 8000. If you had additional services, you would just add another stanza for the port that additional service is using.

How about this options? (No data transfer fees)
https://www.scaleway.com/en/object-storage/
https://www.stackpath.com/products/object-storage/ (No charges for data transfer (egress) or API requests/calls while delivering over StackPath CDN)
Great guide, thx!
To run VPSs in EU I'm using https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/
I would also recommend this script for seamless WireGuard configuration.
You can use lifecycle rules to automatically transfer objects to cold storage or simply upload directly to cold storage. https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/data-migration-c14-classic/
> Avec https://github.com/kahing/goofys qui me permet de mount du S3 locallement avec des perfs potable. J'ai pas eu de probleme a backup environ 1TB en tout et partout.
Merci du lien je connaissais pas du tout, c'est très intéressant je vais sûrement tester (d'ailleurs scaleway donne 75 Go gratuits c'est beaucoup plus que tes besoins d'1To mais ça peut dépanner).
hey, I gotcha fam! Here's my setup for 7 usd (more or less)
It's a VPS (virtual private server, aka they give you a computer and you've to figure out how to install and set it up). It's pretty easy and I'll make a guide sometime soon, but basically I just bought the Dev1 machine on scaleway (for 3 eur/month) and bought 200gb space on google drive (2 usd/month in my country). So for 7 usd I've a plex and seedbox (can increase to 2tb storage if I pay 4usd more). The setup is simple, I just installed https://swizzin.ltd/ as described here
You can get a 1 TB dedicated server from online.net / Scaleway for 9 € / month pre-tax.
I'm bit confused about their uplink. One on page it says 250 Mbps, on another 1 Gbps.
Unmanaged VPS would probably be your best choice from a cost perspective. If you're looking for EU servers then Scaleway might be a good choice, with servers starting at €2.99/mo for 2 cores, 2GB memory and 50GB disk.
Another good choice is 99Stack which is also EU based, tho they have servers in over 50 locations. This is a privacy oriented provider who doesn't collect a ton of personal information, it's all about servers which may not be the cheapest if you just need something really small, but they're reliable and once your sites grow the bigger plans is relatively cheap.
Digitalocean used to be good but due to their popularity their site has become pretty slow, loading a single page takes a few seconds which is pretty annoying when you want to manage your servers. To be fair, their servers are still pretty fast tho like most KVM based providers.
Actually most modern DB's store large chunks of your data in memory AND disk. So increasing RAM will most likely increase performance of the DB server
> Though, in the cases I usually work on, the problem isn't having spare RAM in a host, but that you can't get enough RAM into a reasonably priced host.
What services are you using? AWS and suchlike are expensive for RAM I agree I'm currently using scaleway and they have some excellent prices for things like DB servers:
https://www.scaleway.com/en/virtual-instances/general-purpose/
39 Euro / month for 32Gb and 150 SSD and a 500 Mbit/s is pretty good imho.
If it's cheaper than that they have 12GB for 24 Euro per month and comes with a 120GB NVMe drive:
https://www.scaleway.com/en/virtual-instances/development/
> I'm for reasonable estimates and good advice
I think having plenty RAM on your Db is actually good advice along with having fast disks like NVMe drives. You'll get excellent performance for your DB if you focus on these two things.
Personally I use a https://www.scaleway.com/en/dedibox/start/start-2-s-sata/, was the cheapest storage I could find that's on the scale of a few terabytes. Can get pretty decent gigabit to it.
In a word... you don’t. The way you can secure your the web UIs for your apps with https is through a reverse proxy with nginx.
The main idea is that you block all clients to your app UI except local host. Then you set up nginx with a cert through Let’s Encrypt, and configure the reverse proxy to direct incoming https requests to an insecure local connection to your app.
There are several guides online (a quick google turned up https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/how-to-configure-nginx-reverse-proxy/) and I’m sure SpaceInvaderOne has a video on this... so check YouTube (on mobile...)
>magari il problema è risolvibile con una qualche pulizia del pc? Hai consigli?
Se non hai dati da perdere una formattazione male non fa.
Magare passare a un DE più leggero con xubuntu o lubuntu
>Perché me la sconsigli con i dati? *Riservati
- Per il motivo per cui sconsiglio qualsiasi cosa in cloud: basta che beccarti la password (o quella dell'email con cui ti sei registrata) per accedere ai tuoi dati e se è un server privato mal configurato basta molto meno.
- è gratis e come disse qualcuno Se il prodotto è gratis il prodotto sei tu o in questo caso il tuo dataset
>Che tipo di cloud è?
Onestly mai usato ma da quel che ho capito è un RStudio server ospitato sulla loro macchina a cui ti danno accesso (ovviamente ogni utente ha il suo ambiente privato)
>Opinioni su DigitalOcean o altri servizi di noleggio server poco costosi invece?
mai usato DigitalOcean
https://www.scaleway.com/ non è male costa abbastanza e paghi a ora (ricordati di spegnere) e il prezzo varia dalla configurazione la GP1-XS(0.078 euro/h) potrebbe fare al caso tuo o comunque in caso contrario cambiare è abbastanza facile.
Comunque in questo caso dovresti installare RStudio Server e configurarlo da te (immagino non sia difficile trovare delle guide)
Ma permetti di capire meglio è un lavoro nel senso di quelli che ti pagano? se si non dovrebbero essere loro a fornirti una macchina (anche remota) adatta?
Di che dimensioni è sto dataset?
I use scaleway and I believe that those servers are mine as long as I follow their ToS. I haven't found anything about load policy there. I also use those server as build machines, so they are full loaded majority of the time and I haven't had any issues so far.
Wenn du ein kontinuierlich laufendes Skript hast, würde ich - nach Ablauf des Free tier - nicht auf AWS gehen. Da ist man als Privatperson mit einem VPS Provider oder einem kleineren Cloudprovider besser weil günstiger aufgehoben. Für so kleine Projekte habe ich gute Erfahrungen mit Scaleway, Hetzner Cloud oder OVH Cloud gemacht.
Die Kostenfallen bei AWS sind meist die Traffickosten, die haben viele nicht auf dem Schirm. Bei dir sollte sich das in Grenzen halten, aber einen Kostenalarm über Cloudwatch würde ich trotzdem aufsetzen.
https://www.scaleway.com/fr/dedibox/start/start-2-s-sata
https://www.kimsufi.com/us/en/servers.xml 100M, not 1G
Both probably hit the mark to a limited extent. They are unmanaged with weak, blade CPUs. You will need a seedbox in a script package, like swizzin.
Non è il mio campo, forse dovrei stare zitto ma hai pensato a Scaleway? Io uso più Heroku(dyno gratuito) perché è davvero a prova di deficienti e ti fa sempre vedere il costo mensile previsto da addebitare sulla carta, fino ad ora non ho avuto spese spuntate fuori dal nulla.
