I'm new to the VPS hosting scene and it's been a while since I installed Debian, 7-Wheezy was my last.
I'm seeing polling for a CD rom drive after GRUB from SeaBIOS (see first screenshot).
By "after GRUB" I mean, after the screen asking for you to select which OS to boot (see second screenshot).
Is this being done by Debian (10) or by the VPS hosting company (Vultr)?
The thing confusing me most is that it ...
I apologize wholeheartedly but this is probably as unspecified as it can get as for a question.
I run a linux VPS and...I think it has an important performance problem, but I can't pin point what it is or could be. I contacted support but they say they don't see any problems. For further support I have to pay.

I'm a server noob and want to get some solution or some advice from the gurus of the ServerFault. I currently have two different live websites running and they both are using the shared web hosting servers. But I need to have those two websites to have an individual rDNS record set up for each and to work that out, it seems like I need to have those two websites migrate to two different dedicated server ...
I create application that will be served on Ubuntu 20.04 VPS server. Nginx, Python, Postgresql, nodejs, nothing special.
Unfortunately, all my knowledge about server security ends after ufw enable and fail2ban. (Because most tutorials ends after it too.)
Can you please recommend me some good modern manual on securing server in Internet? If there is some automated security-test service or anything th ...

I'm in the process of learning kubernetes and docker swarm. I really appreciate how you can create several servers as work nodes and cluster/swarm them together. Then use commands like kubectl get pods
or docker ps -a
to see all pods/containers across all services connected to the same cluster/swarm.
This got me wondering if:
- Is it a popular to run database and node js apps across VPS instances ...

I'm trying to setup a simple VPN without port forwarding.
I have:
- raspberry pi connected to a LAN (eth0 - 192.168.1.0/24)
- internet accessible vps server
- laptop & android device that needs access to the LAN using a VPN
I read that I can use tinc to establish a peer to peer connection between the raspberry pi and VPS server. This worked great so now I have created a network between vps and raspberry ...

I have a Ubuntu VPS with four different public IP addresses.
I want to use this VPS as a socks5 proxy in firefox browser, curl and other software with the possibility to use all public IPs of that machine using a socks5 proxy like Dante or any other.
What do you think that it is the best approach to make this config? Maybe a github script, using net rules on VPS?
I need to have four different socks5 pr ...
I'm moving away from WordPress and into bespoke Django websites.
I've settled on Django as my Python framework, my only problems at the moment are concerning hosting. My current shared hosting environment is great for WordPress (WHM on CloudLinux), but serving Django on Apache/cPanel appears to be hit and miss, although I haven't tried it as yet with my new hosting company. - who have Python enab ...

The company i work from are actually using a bunch of "commercial VPS" which actually, in my point of views, are really overpriced for what they have.
Having some basic and limited knowledge in virtualization, i was wondering if just taking 6-7 of dedicated server, install Proxmox on it and then, create a bunch of VM (which is, correct me if i'm wrong, a VPS) will be better, and for the financial ...

I've been blocking my site for HTTPS for 2 days now (VPS Server, Node.js, Nginx, Unbuntu). I ordered a certificate from an organization, so I received 4 certificates.
From what I understood, I had to create a .key and .csr (which include my personal data) with this command:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout domainname_com.key -out domainname_com.csr
After that I had to bring together the 4 ...
I have a load balancer with a dedicated cpu that distributes traffic to two linodes with shared cpus. I'm testing a template website with 9 lazy loaded images, no database queries, that's been optimized to score 100 on pagespeed, A on gtmetrix, and loads in under 1 second.
While testing the website with the shared cpu, it performs as expected, around 1k rps with or without ssl, using nginx.

I'm trying to set up a VPS with a single IP address to run my static homepage and some additional services such as NextCloud. I already have a domain that points to the VPS's IP address. Reading through a number of tutorials on self-hosting, a common solution for this type of scenario is to set up a reverse proxy that forwards to different subdomains, e.g. nextcloud.mydomain.com. However, here's my ques ...

TLDR: Outlook.com appear to be junking all our emails from new VPS - nothing has an effect so questioning if IP address range reputation is the issue.
We used to host all our websites (five) and email on a single VPS. Due to email problems that we were unable to resolve we obtained another server from a different company (Hostinger) to host our email.
Everything has been set up ok as far as we know - S ...

So i have managed to setup an OpenVPN VPS. My public clientside IP is static.
For an abundance of security I'd like to automate a firewall blocking all traffic when the VPN client isn't connected. When client connects, traffic can flow so open up firewall.... Almost like a soft shutdown except purely a drop all unless from clientside static IP.
Any ideas how to implement this? I understand that I ca ...

I have the following setup:
- 1 VPS with public IP 222 running Wordpress
- 1 VPS with public IP 444 running OpenVPN server
The login pages of the Webserver are restricted to requests from 444 using ufw to prevent any bruteforce attempts. To setup the VPN server I used the following script: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install It forwards all VPN traffic to its public IP 444. So far, so good.

I'm developing a product that enables users to run a service at home which is part of a larger network. This service needs to be contacted regularly by a coordination service running in the cloud (on a VPS). The mechanism implemented for this relies on a normal port-forward on the user's internet-facing router, but also needs a reliable way to be found: enter DDNS.
What I'd like to implement is a ...
I have a VPS with a single IP address and multiple domain names.

Nevertheless your message appears to be sent from mail.example.com.
