What all ways one can use this LES VPS having just IPv6 address? I mean without opting for the NATted IPv4.

You can always forward traffic from one of your vps to the lowend vps. IPv4 -> IPv6.

I like the idea to have one frontend http proxy forwarding requests to some little workers.

My own site is running an a 96MB vps from ServerDragon. My small picture blog is running on a RaspberryPi.

you should get the NATted IPv4 either way. 

 

Why? Can't Putty connect with IPv6?

It can, if you have ipv6 on your side.

Okay, I realized that I myself need to be on IPv6 network to be able to talk to another IPv6 host.

It is interesting. Can you put a tutorial on how to setup such a thing?

I don't think this makes much sense if you're just trying to set up something reliable and practical (each vps is a new potential failure point).  It does seem interesting as a dev/ops/sysadmin exercise in setting up a server from multiple subsystems.  There's not really tutorials per se that I know of.  You have to familiarize yourself with setting up firewalls, reverse proxies, authentication, and so on, in addition to the different application components.  You will probably also want some kind of monitoring.  I remember there was a Nagios tutorial on LEB a week or so ago, so if you're still willing to look at that place, you can find it there.

And it's awesome. Great latency, SSD storage, 500GB of bandwidth and a little DDoS protection included.

Did you understood the first condition you accepted when placing your order?

 

[fahad]

lol ... that is a great problem ... Honestly no ...

Honestly : NO.

But can you tell me how to connect ssh by putty now ? I tried changing ssh port which was given in email , but i reinstalled OS after the ip given ... i actually didn't tried ssh before new OS setup ...

You need to change the port if you don't have IPv6 and I assume your are trying to reach the NATed v4.

But this isn't the support forum:

@fahad you really should have understood what you were purchasing going in.  The lowendspirit servers DO NOT come with ipv4 ip access directly.  They come with an ipv6 address.  To use the default ssh port you will need to connect using ipv6.  There is an option with lowendspirit to have ports forwarded for you, in fact I think they are preset based on your internal ip, you should read through the forums there to find what they are.  The forwarded ports however will not be standard ports, the will be higher ranged ports 1000+.  

The best option is to have ipv6 at your home or setup an ipv6 tunnel and to access the server via ipv6.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thank You for your reply.

I have no ipv6 support , but can i use my other vps to connect to that ipv6 ? and i tried several ports from the email ...

 

[TheLinuxBug]

If you have another server with ipv6 access, then yes, you should be able to connect from it.

Cheers!

Then when i asked for ip , they have given me  , that is not the ip to connect ??

 

[willie]

If you don't have ipv6, there is an in-browser ssh client (java applet) available through the whmcs control panel that can connect to your vps via a listener on the host node by ipv4.  Use that to configure the sshd on your vps to listen to one of the NATted port numbers that were explained in the email you got when you signed up.  You can then ssh to entry port corresponding to that port number.  For more details, see the LES support forum.

@fahad open a support request on http://forum.lowendspirit.com you will get a lot more help from users on that forum

But in simple steps.

1) connect via serial console.

2) edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file changing the port number from 22 to one of the ports assigned to you

3) run 'service ssh restart'

4) connect via ssh with the external IP and the port number you picked.

Done.

If you do not know what the IP is it is very easy to find: http://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=423

If you still cannot connect after doing that please open a ticket and I will help you directly.

Anthony.

I often use nginx or HAproxy to make multiple servers look Like one system, https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/NGINX_proxy_folder_to_different_root.html fort example. You could use that run a forum or a site on the ipv6 lowendspirit vps, and make it available via another domain/vos.
