Plex dedicated server hosting needed

Specs: Intel Xeon L5520 or better, 16GB RAM min (24-32 preferred), 2x 4TB hard drive, 15TB @ 1 Gbps bandwidth. /29 IPv4 (virtualization is used). The ability to expand with more drives with the server chassis having empty bays would be desirable if/when the need is there.

Budget: $50 - 85/mo. Currently using a VPS on my OVH dedicated server. I don't really want to spin up another OVH dedicated server.

I'm the easiest customer to deal with who pays their bills. I'm not going to be filing tickets with support except in the event of a network issue where I'd expect some communication of something as basic as "hey we're aware of something going on and we're looking into it".

Location: USA Central or East Coast. No LA, Phoenix, Seattle.

Central US: Kansas City, Dallas, Chicago is OK
East: Atlanta, mid-Atlantic (VA), NY/NJ preferred.

What do you use to take backups?

I'm trying to find something to replace BackupNinja since its becoming more efforts than it's worth to manage the amount of config files.

I tried UrBackup and the interface is pretty good, it doesn't support encrypted backups though :/

What do you use for your backups?

ASN/GeoIP lookup?

I'm currently using IPLookup.flagfox.net but it seems to be rate limiting me with a Captcha pretty often so I'm looking for an alternative.

Does anyone know of a similar online tool that explicitly displays the AS, the ASN and Geolocation of IPs without rate limiting or a Captchas? I'm also looking for tools that can convert A records/URLs to IP addresses in particular.

Install Windows on any Wholesaleinternet preconfigured server using QEMU-KVM

$
0
0

WSI has Core2Duo box @ $10/month and they don't provide KVM services for their preconfigured server.

Preconfigured Servers Cannot be Modified: Our preconfigured servers are designed for quick deployment. Preconfigured servers hardware (CPU/RAM/HDD) or bandwidth cannot be added or modified. Operating system options for preconfigured systems are limited to available selections on order form. KVM services are not provided for preconfigured servers.

But WSI provide SystemRescueCD and we can install Windows or any other OS using QEMU but w/o KVM support. The Sysrcd lack of KVM module and it can only install 32 Bit OS (tested on WSI). Such a waste if we snap a preconfigured servers with more than 4GB RAM.

Previously I've asked them via their ticket system to add Grml https://grml.org/ (because of KVM module already enabled) and finally now they add it on their reload OS options, nice!

Start the Windows installation on WSI

First reload the OS and choose Grml. Open the SSH console using the password provided.

# CAREFULL Wipe your hard disks. Let say we want to install the Windows in /dev/sda

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1
partprobe

If you need temporary folder for the ISO. Need big RAM on this case. Depend on the ISO size.

mount -t tmpfs -o size=4000m tmpfs /mnt

Or if we have RAM less than 8GB we just need to creating small partition, put the ISO file there and don't touch it during Windows installations.

Note: My WSI $10 box have second HDD so just I put my ISO inside it.

Download the ISO to /mnt folder:

wget -P /mnt http://example.com/win8-64.iso

Download and extract the portable qemu-kvm. /tmp folder is enough for this portable qemu-kvm.

wget -qO- /tmp http://notfor.pro/content/files/vkvm.tar.gz | tar xvz -C /tmp

Excute the qemu-kvm:

/tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/win8-64.iso -hda /dev/sda -boot once=d -vnc :1

Open the VNC viewer and visit your IP:1 to starting the installations.

Network and Driver

After finished, enable the RDP and turn-off the firewall temporary. You can add the network driver using:

pnputil.exe -a c\yourdriver.inf

Note: In my case Windows already have the driver but I still add the driver to the DriverStore .

WSI use static IP so we must set the IP provided by WSI manually. Example:

IP: 63.141.x.x
Gateway: 63.141.x.x
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252

And we need to use DNS server provided by WSI also. Pick one below.

# First DNS server
192.187.107.16
69.30.209.16

# Second DNS server
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

This is what the support staff tell me when I can't connect even I already enable the RDP, install the network driver, and turn-off the firewall temporarily but I am enabling the DHCP.

Those are the DNS we set, once the service is online the client can change them to whatever they wish to use.

Double check everything and reboot your server.

Troubleshot

Qemu can boot existing Windows installations so you just need to load the Grml, extract the portable qemu-KVM and reconfigure the Windows again.

/tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/win8-64.iso -hda /dev/sda -boot c -vnc :1

If you can't connect to RDP you can creating netsh script to set the static IP automatically during startup or logon.

Credit to WSI

WSI staff is very helpful on this process, from debugging, even they are willing to add Grml because of SystemRescueCD limitations.

How about another provider

You can use the same method on any other provider out there as long as they have rescue system. Eg. OVH (SYS, Kimsufi), Hetzner, Leaseweb, etc.

DigitalOcean seems have recovery ISO so perhaps you can install Windows on their VPS lineup. Let me know if you managed to install Windows on DigitalOcean.

Edit: hope they get more sales because they are very helpful on this process :)

Looking for a 6c/12t or 8c/16t machine in EU

I'm currently using a dual X5650 setup with 12c/24t which is enough for my needs, but it's hosted in the USA.

Does anyone know of the Dual X5650 setup on the EU or similar setups? Xeon E3 with 4c/8t are probably not enough.

I only need 16gb of RAM, a 120GB SSD or HDD is more than enough and 100mbit connection is also fine. I don't need bandwidth, probably 100GB of bandwidth is more than enough.

Thanks in advance

Free AlphaSSL Wildcard and regular SSLs

I've previously issued certs to pretty much anyone that wanted a cert on the forum and just had them PM me with their CSR, etc, this got really messy :( So I've setup a WHMCS install just for this purpose :P (I might use this later tho, who knows :))

So what do you do to get your free certificate?

Follow the link and fill in the info and I'll issue certs probably once every 24 hours depending on when I'm home and have the ability to do it :)

If this gets out of hand, I might shut this down, but as I haven't found anything in SH's TOS at all about SSLs I think we should be fine, the worst thing that could happen is probably that my SH account would get closed down :)

So lets go.... https://portal.loovit.net/cart.php?a=add&pid=1

Remember: THIS IS FREE AND HAVE NO GUARANTEES!!! YOUR CERT MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME!

[Howto] Install Windows On Your OVH VPS

$
0
0

So you want to install Windows on your OVH VPS? Thats possible! I created some cool templates that have been tested and confirmed working on these OVH VPS servers. It even works on the cheapest VPS plan OVH offers, the one with just 10GB disk space, isn't that awesome? Just follow this tutorial and we will have a working Windows installation on your OVH VPS within an hour.

The first thing well have to do is to reboot your VPS in rescue mode. Login at the OVH control panel, choose your VPS and click on the button that says "Reboot my VPS" (you can find that button on the right of the page).

You will see this popup once clicked:



Make sure to have the "Reboot in rescue mode" box selected.

It can take between 2 and 10 minutes before the VPS is booted into rescue mode. Once your VPS has been booted into the rescue mode you will need to login using PuTTy (any SSH program will do, I like to use PuTTy). You can find the rescue login details in the email that OVH has sent you.

Once you have logged in you will need to unmount the disk by using the following command:

umount /mnt/sdb1

Now we are ready to install Windows on the VPS.
Choose one of the Windows versions, copy the command in the box and paste it in the PuTTy/SSH screen, press enter and it will begin downloading and extracting the template to the disk of your VPS. This can take some time, so grab yourself some coffee, watch a movie or take a walk with your dog (if you have one).

Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard:

 wget -O- 'http://mirror.uneven.eu/vps/WS_2012R2_OVH_VPS.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sdb

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard:

 wget -O- 'http://mirror.uneven.eu/vps/WS_2008_R2_OVH_VPS.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sdb

Windows 10 Pro:

 wget -O- 'http://mirror.uneven.eu/vps/W10_Pro_OVH_VPS.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sdb

Windows 7 Professional:

 wget -O- 'http://mirror.uneven.eu/vps/W7_Pro_OVH_VPS.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sdb

Once the download is done, reboot the VPS again and it should have Windows installed and working when it comes back online.

You can login with the following credentials (make sure to change the password after you logged in):

For Windows Server 2008 R2 & 2012 R2:

Username: Administrator
Password: Password147

For Windows 7 Professional & Windows 10 Pro:

Username: Admin
