Dear all, I have rented a cheap dedicated server just to install Proxmox and to learn some things (just for the fun, no upcoming summer host :lol: ). Everything works fine so far, I have started up a OpenVZ container which seems to perform great. But: On the hostnode, I have installed munin...

Dear all, I have a server with online.net that comes with 1 IPv4 and a /48 of IPv6. I thought that it would be nice to install Proxmox on the server and to create several VMs for private use with a IPv6 assigned to each. Please note that this is just for private/hobby purposes. What I now...

Dear all, I thought I try my luck here too: I have moved a busy website from a SSD VPS (Xen) to a dedicated server with two 7.2k spinning disks in Hardware RAID-1. My munin graphs of the CPU load on the new server shows quite an amount of iowait: I ran into other limits with the VPS, but I...

Dear all, I was seeking a free Control Panel for some friends that I host on a VPS and came across VestaCP. I must say that I generally like it very much. Especially that it comes with with nginx included and that it is so reduced and simple. BUT: I am getting crazy trying to get eMail to...

Dear all, I would like to install something that I would call "Poor man's load balancing / geo-based forwarding" and would appreciate your hints. Here is the idea: I have a site that has an equal amount of visitors from the EU and America (The continent, not the country). I would like to run...

Dear all, I have an 'older' (3-4 years or so) Macbook Pro laying around here. It has an outdated OS X version on it and I thought about installing Ubuntu rather than updating to a newer OS X Version. I cannot do this install via a CD or DVD because the drive in the Macbook Pro is broken. So I...

Dear all, I might be in need of a cheap but reliable dedicated server in Italy soon. Some hours ago, I came across a provider in Milan, called SeFlow.net. http://seflow.net/ Some of their offers would perfectly fit my budget and needs. I just wonder: Can anyone tell me something about...

Dear all, a friend of mine is running KVM Virtualization on his server and told me that unpacking a large archive took him 9s on the Host System itself and 49s on a KVM (12GB RAM, virtio, 3 CPUs) on that same Host System. That seems strange to me and I remember from previous discussions that I...

Dear all, I have a cPanel server and - all of the sudden - AWStats stopped generating stats for users. Well, to be more precise: It seems as if it still generates them but with 0 visitors, 0 pageviews, 0 hits and so on. It seems as if the server has stopped generating logs that AWStats could...

Dear all, does anyone have an idea how to achieve the following: I want nginx to redirect all visitors with an IP listed in CSF's deny list to a certain page. That deny list, for those unfamiliar with CSF, is just a text file with banned IPs, one per line. I am aware that I can use CSF...
