[00:14] I am looking to put a machine somewhere on the web (fast and reliable network connection) so that i can control and host webpages (and applications written in python). I am in the US and would not like to pay too much for just electricity and network connectivity. Has anyone faced this problem here? Any pointers to solutions? [00:15] pythonirc101: which colocation facilities have you looked at? [00:15] pythonirc101: have you looked at VPS? [00:16] i did not know about colocation , will look at VPS now [00:16] colo is expensive [00:16] leasing a VPS or even a dedicated server is usually much cheaper [00:16] yeah, i'd only go colo if you need to have your own hardware, which is seldom the case. [00:16] ^ [00:17] VPS or dedicated servers are ALWAYS better because they're cheaper [00:17] i'm speaking from experience there :P [00:17] what is VPS? [00:17] virtual private server. [00:17] virtual private server [00:17] basically... [00:17] expect a colo to cost 5-10 times more than a dedicated server [00:17] "the cloud"!!!!!! OMG [00:17] its a server that is run virtually off of a host node [00:17] haha [00:17] how much cost am i looking at? for electricity and network cable? [00:18] and a dedicated server to cost 10-30 times more than a VPS [00:18] pythonirc101: for colo? [00:18] i dont mind getting the hardware from the provider or paying for it myself. [00:18] at work, I'm in the process of decommissioning a colo box we pay $500/mo for [00:18] electricity, networking, power, rent of space in the facility, bandwidth, etc. [00:18] not to mention the actual hardware can cost horrid amounts [00:18] i bought a Dell PowerEdge 2500, cost me $2500 [00:18] then put that thing into colo [00:18] you can find dedicated servers starting around $100/mo [00:19] ^ [00:19] and VPSes, depending on how reliable you need them, anywhere from $5 up [00:19] ^ [00:19] decent VPSes i've seen are around, what $20 - $30 a month? [00:19] for reliable [00:19] yeah [00:19] TheEvilPhoenix: how much do you pay per month to put that dell in colocation? [00:20] pythonirc101: you mean how much DID I pay [00:21] linux VPSes also tend to cost a lot less than windows ones [00:21] it shifted between locations over 2 years [00:21] but first place was $450/month [00:21] some places offer the same pricing for both, but that's before you factor in 20 gigs of hard drive space wasted on windows itself [00:21] second was $49.99/month with horrid uptime reliability [00:21] finally said "Screw this", and cancelled the colo last week [00:21] TheEvilPhoenix: what did you do after that? [00:22] the server is now en route to my nice, static ip, business class internet hookup :P [00:22] yeah [00:22] pythonirc101: i'm waiting on the server to arrive, but its going onto my nice business class internet [00:22] TheEvilPhoenix: that costs me $150 for 10mbit line/month [00:22] in some cases it's actually cheaper to just buy a cable line and find someone who will let you store it there [00:22] pythonirc101: well i have an advantage... [00:22] pythonirc101: i dont run the business class internet [00:22] er [00:23] enterprise class, even [00:23] TheEvilPhoenix: Thats cool [00:23] one of the companies i work with does [00:23] and they are allowing me to set the server up there [00:23] free of charge [00:23] (partly because they ALREADY pay me flat-fees monthly for being on-call for when their servers explode) [00:24] yeah [00:24] the actual cheapest way to run a server is to know people [00:24] mhm [00:24] but the cheapest way that you can measure in dollars is VPS [00:25] mhm [00:25] hmmm [00:25] I need to find someone i know who has a good internet connection and is willing to let me colocate [00:26] how does one buy fiber connections? They probably are very expensive? [00:26] I know that there is a dead server right outside my building [00:26] another reason the cost is so high for colocation [00:27] if you're not running the latest greatest gear, you're also wasting a lot of electricity [00:27] qman__: i dont care about electricity for now...only one machine [00:27] it's just economy of scale on so many levels [00:27] I just want to buy a good machine and put it in a good place [00:27] but why, exactly, do you want to do that [00:28] or buy a good ethernet connection to my building...i somehow think that will be harder to do than to colocate [00:28] why is a VPS not good enough, and more accurately, why are 20 VPSes not as good? [00:28] because that's about the cost difference [00:28] qman__: how much would a vps cost me? [00:28] will they give me the latest and greatest machine with SSDs on them for the right price? [00:28] bottom end from reputable companies is $5/mo [00:28] they go up from there [00:28] I run web apps, not just web servers [00:29] then you probably want a dedicated server [00:29] you can get quad core machines with plenty of RAM and disk space for $100/mo [00:29] qman__: is there a vps provider that will let me be root on ubuntu and give me a good machine? [00:29] all of them, pretty much [00:30] any pointers? [00:30] don't look below the $100 mark for a dedicated server [00:30] http://www.vpsguides.com/vps-hosting-comparison/ [00:30] there are some cheaper than that but they're best avoided [00:30] for a VPS, if you care about performance, aim $20/mo and up [00:31] 30GB disk space on most, not an option...at leave 4TB or more disk space is what i need...and that should cost $160? [00:31] if you need that much space you'll have to pay more [00:31] but it's not unattainable in the dedicated server space [00:32] 2x2TB drives = $200 at most today [00:32] 30GB disk space is a joke... [00:32] you're not looking at all the angles [00:32] to keep the price down users share hardware, that's how a VPS works [00:33] it makes the most of the resources, and to do that, they have to limit disk space to allow for as many VPSes as the server can reasonably handle at once [00:33] that's why more space costs more money [00:33] i see [00:33] a VPS isn't the best choice if you have such a large data requirement, look at dedicated servers instead [00:34] qman__: or perhaps colocation [00:34] it's not likely you'll be able to colocate cheaper than a dedicated server, even with your requirements [00:34] unless you don't need datacenter quality accomodations and can stick it in someone's house with a comcast line [00:36] and just to give you a sense of the market [00:36] 4TB is _huge_ for a web server [00:37] hmmm [00:37] nobody's going to have a 4TB 'plan', you'll have to shop with extra disk addons [00:37] i do need a colocation [00:38] fair enough, but it's going to be expensive, no two ways around it [00:38] hmmm [00:38] I assume that by having 4TB of data, you actually want to serve that data at a pretty high rate [00:38] and the $500/mo rate I mentioned earlier is for 1Mbit/s averaged [00:38] unless i open up a colocation center myself and share the network bandwidth...the only expensive part is network... [00:39] And i know there is dead fiber in front of my building [00:39] its just a matter of if i can lease it... [00:39] dead fiber is usually dead for political reasons [00:39] not likely you'll be able to use it [00:39] you are probably right [00:39] the company owns it and wants to sit on it... [00:40] no clue why [00:40] is verizon fios reliable enough to run a server on it? [00:41] that depends entirely on what kind of reliability you demand [00:41] it's roughly the same as business class cable [00:41] it's not measured in nines [00:42] hmmm [00:43] verizon is promising $100 for 25Mbps/up/down [00:43] http://smallbusiness.verizon.com/products/internet/fios/overview.aspx#plans [00:47] and we all know verizon fails :P [01:31] anyone seeing postgrey segault? jaunty [01:32] I'm using postgrey on lucid without problems [01:32] strace it?

[16:49] jamespage: I smoke tested euca.. started it up, was able to login to the clc .. did a couple of reboots.. not much else [16:49] SpamapS, hrm - interesting [16:50] SpamapS: I'm hitting this issue - and so is TeTeT during upgrades [16:50] wget can't talk to the clc over http://xxx:8443 [16:50] chromium and firefox can [16:51] bug 851900 [16:51] Launchpad bug 851900 in eucalyptus "Eucalyptus slow to startup with broken connections to :8443/register" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/851900 [16:52] jamespage: this is wget on both localhost and your laptop? [16:53] Daviey: yep [16:53] sometimes you get no reponse, sometimes a partial and sometime full [16:53] but most times no response [16:54] jamespage: i wonder if this is a bridge issue? [16:54] maybe X based browsers are more aggresive in trying? [16:54] Daviey: same issue on localhost [16:55] I did sniff the network packets - they looked OK === lullabud is now known as warzauwynn [16:55] jamespage: Yeah, but does that actually use lo directly? [16:55] i.e. no unexpected RST's etc... [16:55] hmm. [16:55] Daviey: I think so [17:02] how do you control which TTY is selected when the system boots up? one of my machines is always going to a blank tty, no clue why. [17:03] warzauwynn: vt.handoff=# [17:03] warzauwynn: in the kernel args in grub [17:03] w00t, thanks [17:04] SpamapS: Is juju naming transition complete? [17:04] Daviey: trunk has been renamed [17:04] Daviey: I'm preparing a FFe for the renaming of the binary packages and such, to also be timed with landing a couple other things we already planned to land late. [17:06] hallyn, surely we're allowed to fix bugs still [17:06] (regarding "SpamapS: but we missed freeze. not sure we can sneak something like this in for o at all any more?") [17:07] Daviey: I subscribed graziano to the bug report and requested some help [17:10] smoser: which one is that in referecne to? [17:11] smoser: the oneiric one is just a cleanup - no misbehavior without it [17:11] smoser: the other stuff is only for natty and earlier [17:11] oh. i thought you were saying for oneiric. [17:11] we've long missed "freeze" for natty [17:11] i think that was about 6 months ago [17:14] * RoAkSoAx will be back in an hour [17:15] smoser: i must have missed that email [17:15] j/k [17:15] SpamapS: weird, changing the TTY didn't help… whenever i boot up, regardless of which TTY is selected it always starts with a blank window. I have to switch away and back to get any text to display on that tty. any ideas? [17:16] smoser: do you think that this part; [17:16] * invoke dhclient3 with '-1', meaning it should exit failure if it does [17:16] not receive a response in 60 seconds. (LP: #838968) [17:16] warzauwynn: no, that is weird. What release? [17:16] should be part of an SRU for static-network-up? [17:17] it's 11.04, been upgraded through at least one version of 10, maybe starting at 9. [17:17] it's been a problem for a while and i've always just dealt with it… [17:17] not like it's a huge problem either, just kinda odd. [17:18] hallyn, i would think you should not do that. [17:18] smoser: ok [17:18] yeah thats not going to work out [17:18] Too much behavior change. [17:18] and unfortunately, that, static-network-up is not really going to work [17:18] smoser: why? [17:18] s/, that,/without that/ [17:19] because thats what makes static-network-up wait for all network devices to be up [17:19] previously ifup did not wait [17:19] it just waited for 60 seconds and then went on with life, pretending it did it [17:19] well, [17:19] as far as libvirt is concerned i think that's fine [17:19] i think introducing static-network-up without that is just asking for issues. [17:19] if your networking hasn't come up after 60 seconds, then you have probelms anyway [17:20] right now autostart VMs fail. Making it so only ppl with bad setups have problems seems an improvement to me. [17:23] maybe. [17:24] even probably [17:26] smoser: i'm going to try out lp:~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/natty/ifupdown/static-net-up [17:36] anyone know/have of a apache2.2.22 package? [17:41] smoser: what hallyn is saying makes sense. Waiting 60 seconds for something to happen might be better in the general case. [17:41] That said.. [17:42] 11.10 is out in a month.. [17:42] 12.04 out in 7 months.. [17:42] There are workarounds to the issues.. [17:42] does lucid have this problem ? [17:42] yes [17:42] 9.10 introduced it [17:42] its valid to find *a* fix for 10.04 [17:42] when we stopped waiting for all interfaces to be up on boot [17:42] 11.10 is 'meh' [17:43] lts and libvirt not working is embarrasing [17:43] Way more than libvirt is broken [17:43] *anything* that binds to an interface [17:48] smoser: what bug did I say we missed freeze on? [17:48] you didnt. [17:49] hallyn, did [17:49] Oh ok [17:55] SpamapS: hm, 'start: Unknown parameter: JOB [17:56] hallyn: who when? [17:58] SpamapS: when reinstalling ifupdown on natty [17:58] from network-interface-security.conf [17:59] hallyn: sorry I'm not sure what that means.. have to step away for a few minutes.. will ping when I return [18:00] ok [18:03] hallyn: that would imply upstart has regressed? [18:03] kees: i don't know, i need to reproduce and make sure i'm not responsible [18:05] the use of JOB stuff in network-interface-security.conf is from me, but it really should work fine in natty [18:05] hallyn: is it disk corruption? what does the file look like? JOB is only part of the "instance" line .. [18:09] no, it's not me [18:09] apt-get install --reinstall ifupdown in natty gives that line [18:10] kees: yes, it doesn't do it in oneiric, so it must be an upstart difference [18:15] hallyn: can you pastebin your network-interface-security.conf file somewhere? it works for me in natty [18:15] well, it works for everyone but you in natty. ;) [18:16] kees: apt-get install --reinstall ifupdown didn't do it for you? [18:16] it was a fresh, newly created, up to date natty vm [18:16] i'll recreate again [18:17] is anyone using ddclient of ipcheck here? [18:18] hallyn: can you pastebin your file? [18:18] kees: not until the vm is recreated [18:18] oh heh [18:19] kees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/691011/ [18:20] kees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/691012/ that is the error msg [18:21] how strange. but everything still works, right? [18:21] yeah === chuck_ is now known as zul [20:15] Im using rsync to create incremental backups, how can I remove the duplicate (i.e. unchanged) files from a snapshot? I want to prune all the files that are duplicates, and tar ball only the changed files... [20:16] I haven't seen an easy way to do this yet, does anyone have suggestions? [20:26] internalkernel: tar has a --newer path/to/a/file [20:30] hmmmm.... SpamapS thanks I'll look into that... I hadn't thought of using tar directly, I was still trying to make rsync do it... :) [20:31] internalkernel: not sure what exactly you want rsync to do. === lullabud is now known as warzauwynn [20:33] SpamapS: Maybe I was mistaken, but I thought I had read somewhere that rsync's --remove-source-files option could have been tailored to remove duplicates between two directories [20:36] New bug: #850196 in euca2ools "euca-describe-images crashed with GetoptError in long_has_args(): option --owner-id not recognized" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/850196 [20:41] internalkernel: find has a -newer option too [21:00] [13:53] am hoping to try out El Diablo on Oneiric [13:53] would like to understand how best to layout my server [13:53] i have a HP system i can devote to this [13:54] can either have raid0 with 146 GB and RAID5 with about 400 GB [13:54] or can move a couple drives and make RAID0 have 72 GB and more for RAID5 [13:55] also, curious if i should install ESXi first, then create [21:00] sorry bout that [21:00] i composed a big note and tried to copy paste.. not too clear i'm afraid [21:06] am hoping to try out El Diablo on Oneiric. would like to understand how best to layout my server. i have a HP system i can devote to this Can either have raid0 with 146 GB and RAID5 with about 400 GB or can move a couple drives and make RAID0 have 72 GB and more for RAID5 Also, curious if i should install ESXi first, then create the ElDiablo server for OpenStack or just go on bare metal with Oneiric [21:07] i guess knowing that OpenStack mimics EC2, am curious if i need to configure for S3 as well, or just EC2 [21:10] is this the right place to ask about ElDiablo? [21:11] or should i go somewhere else?.. like a bull riding IRC channel? [22:28] Hey, I need to make a new account, that only has access to /var/www (to edit the website) via SFTP or FTP, what do I do? (and yes, I googled it) [22:35] anyone there? [22:36] ANYONE HERE? [22:43] Wild_: I like 'scponly' for that [22:44] wow an asnwer [22:44] lol [22:44] what is that? [22:44] a package? [22:44] Wild_: yeah [22:44] What does it do? [22:50] anyone around using SoGo authenticating against AD and connecting to extermal IMAP server? I have been googling and cant find any walk thru or example that I can follow [22:53] scponly - Restricts the commands available to scp- and sftp-users [22:53] Wild_: ^^ [22:54] I have no clue how to set that up [22:54] I just have to use a free host I guess :/ [22:56] Wild_: well it does have a manual. [22:57] Wild_: the steps largely involve "install it... create a user... chsh -s /usr/bin/scponly username" [22:57] Wild_: an additional step may be to change the web server configuration so it reads its files from their home dir. [23:17] I'm using systemimager to try to copy one system to another, and now my /boot directory is empty -- this system will no longer boot with kernel images in /boot, right?
