    Using uptimerobot's webhook with cloudflare to achieve HA (downtime no longer than ~6 minutes)

    I should play around with Rage4 more.  For dynamic websites, I use rsync to copy the DB over every 6 hours then put the site in read only mode and a message saying this is a backup server, we'll be back soon.

    Using uptimerobot's webhook with cloudflare to achieve HA (downtime no longer than ~6 minutes)

    The script - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blackdotsh/UptimeFlare/master/renameMe.php License: MIT<br> Dependencies: Web Server, PHP, php-curl lib   Setup: 1. I suggest you rename the php file to something obscure. 2. Add / change the global vars section. It consists of credentials and...

    vpsBoard birthday contest! Enter to win!

    I'm not sure if the script has to be new or something, but this is my speedtest script that benchmarks your server (uploaded & download speed of various locations, times how long it takes to generate PI to 5k decimal places, and the standard DD test)

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    Since these are mostly VPSes, they're on a shared port so the speed is not consistent, per-se. If you have a VPS to donate, please PM me. Yes it has :) More locations, runs a benchmark on the CPU by calculating PI (with no additional dependencies), and dd to test I/O (because everyone loves...

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    Yeah, since these servers are running on a shared port, take the results with a grain of salt. However, if all of them or most of them say your upload speed is slow, then it probably is.

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    Sorry, the server running the site went down. I'm adding monitoring now and it should be available.

    So it's good right? Hopefully you're not having any issues.

    INIZ 512MB KVM

    fahad - Can you run the speedtest again? I'm not sure how you can get 0 MB/sec.

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    I'm not sure what could be wrong, as I'm using functions directly available from cURL. The code is really neat if you guys want to take a look at it. From the curl man pages:               speed_download The average download speed that curl measured for                              the...

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    That's really weird because I don't recall having an Amsterdam, NL location. This isn't correct. Yes they're shared but if the majority of the nodes are reporting low upload speeds, then the odds of your server actually having slow upload speed is higher than all the test servers being...

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    The speedtest VM container that was donated to me in Idaho said it was 100 Mbps connection so that's what I put in the script. Is that what you were referring to?

    DotVPS OpenVZ 64MB - UK

    @wlanboy - Do you mind running and posting the results? If the network speeds are good I might get one and add it as a new speedtest location. wget dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.sh 2>/dev/null -O- | bash

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    Correct. Serverbear incorporates various benchmark tools that are known and outputs it a user-friendly format. What I aimed to achieve with this script is to get a complete picture of the network utilization. I believe that VPS owners have a false sense of their network capabilities if they are...

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    I happen to be one of those OCD people :P Correct. It's probably easier if someone does a local touch instead of me serving them a blank file. I'll update the options page to reflect that. Thanks!

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    Correct. Bc was needed for accuracy to 2 decimal places; Bash's built in only has integer division. I only have 2 spare VPSes dedicated to this. If are people willing to donate a container, I'd be happy to add it to the list.

    Test your server's upload and download speed

    wget dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.sh 2>/dev/null -O- | bash or curl -s dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.sh -o- | bash I decided to create a script that tests the server's download speed as well as upload. To me, this has been something that's long overdue and I'm surprised that no one has done it...
