03:33 | <anu> | hi |
03:33 | <anu> | i want to know how many websites can I host on the $10 plan |
03:34 | <anu> | can it handle 3k visitors per day |
03:34 | <grawity> | depends entirely on how much traffic they're receiving |
03:34 | <nate> | There's practically no way to answer that, there are too many variables |
03:34 | <grawity> | 3k per day total? |
03:34 | <grawity> | that's like 2 per minute, a potato could handle that |
03:34 | <grawity> | well, on average |
03:35 | <nate> | Traffic, code performance, database performance, other things using resources on the linode, etc. But yeah 3k a day sounds doable so long as your codebase isn't an absolute nightmare lol |
03:35 | <anu> | i use wordpress only |
03:36 | <anu> | and how many websites can i host on the $10 plan? |
03:37 | <Zr40> | many. |
03:37 | <grawity> | as many as the server can fit |
03:37 | <nate> | Again literally no way to answer that, it could be 1 or it could be thousands, it depends entirely on the traffic, code, etc etc (see earlier response) |
03:38 | <nate> | anu: You're getting a virtual root server, it's up to you to do what you want with it, it's not a general/shared hosting account with limits |
03:38 | <nate> | :P |
03:38 | <anu> | ok thanks |
03:38 | <anu> | i make landing pages and light weight bogs posts |
03:38 | <grawity> | it doesn't make much difference whether you have one website with 3k visitors, or 10 websites x 300 visitors each, that's still approximately the same amount of resources needed |
03:39 | <grawity> | (hmm I guess there are some differences now that I think of it... but not much.) |
03:40 | <anu> | ok thanks |

07:09 | <suan> | hi |
07:09 | <suan> | Is linode vps a cloud vps |
07:10 | <Zr40> | maybe, what do you think is the difference? |
07:11 | <suan> | I don't know. I have sign up linode via cloudways for my web hosting. just wonder is it a cloud vps like amazon |
07:12 | <Zr40> | I mean, "cloud" doesn't really mean anything. What specific properties are you looking for? |
07:12 | <suan> | Fast :D |
07:13 | <suan> | I have a little knowledge in vps |
07:14 | <@rgerke> | Linode is a cloud hosting company, which means you can spin up a virtual server in any of our data centers. If you're looking for the fastest, you can run a speed test to each of our data centers through this link: https://www.linode.com/speedtest |
07:15 | <@rgerke> | Everything on the "cloud" is hosted on hardware somewhere. SO, your Linode server will be hosted on a physical piece of hardware in whichever data center you choose. |
07:16 | <suan> | I choose Singapore datacenter for Indian traffic |
07:16 | <@rgerke> | Have you looked at our newest data center in Mumbai? |
07:16 | <@rgerke> | Very bottom of the list in the link I sent you |
07:18 | <suan> | Cloudways don't have an option for Mumbai. I don't know how to test :( Is Singapore datacenter good enough. Mumbai I afraid because there could be a power cut anytime |
07:19 | <@rgerke> | You're welcome to use Singapore if you'd like. Ihave a few of my ownLinodes in Singapore and the speeds are excellent - I'min the US. |
07:20 | <@rgerke> | (And apparently I need to take extra classes for spacebar usage) |
07:21 | <suan> | Okey Thank you |
07:22 | <wraeth> | rgerke: It's the big button, right in the middle. ;) |
07:23 | <@rgerke> | wraeth: It's been a very elusive button today. |

07:26 | <Guest9290> | Hi, Am trying to log in via the login button on https://www.linode.com but just get to a screen that says 400 Doh Invalid redirect URI when I click it. |
07:28 | <@rgerke> | Guest9290: Checking that out. |
07:28 | <@jcardillo> | Guest9290: Hmm... I wasn't able to replicate that from linode.com directly. Can you try going directly to cloud.linode.com to login? |
07:29 | <Guest9290> | Yep. Can get in that way. |
07:29 | <@rgerke> | I got the same results as @ja=cardillo |
07:29 | <wraeth> | Yeah, the login button successfully sends me to cloud. as well. |
07:29 | <@rgerke> | wrateh: look what I just did, speaking of backspace |
07:29 | <wraeth> | Heh :D |
07:30 | <@jcardillo> | Guest9290: does the same thing happen regardless of your browser? |
07:30 | <Guest9290> | It did. It is now working. |
07:31 | <@jcardillo> | It's working when you click 'login' from www.linode.com, you mean? |
07:31 | <Guest9290> | Yep. I tried it with I tried it with Chrome and IE (Yuck) and both did the same. Must have been a very temporary glitch. |
07:31 | <@jcardillo> | Strange. |
07:31 | <@jcardillo> | Well... I'm glad it's working now. |

07:51 | <notKevin> | Hello everyone. We are looking to start using Linode as our cloud provider. Does anyone mind if I ask a couple of questions that need answering before we can make a decision? |
07:52 | <wraeth> | Ask away and anyone who can answer, will (though be patient - not everyone's in front of their keyboard ;) ). |
07:54 | <notKevin> | Great, we've got time as we are migrating currently from Kamatera. 1. Can we run any x86 OS or application with Linode? 2. Is hosting customer IP ranges available? 3. Are there Advanced CPU options available? Is the billing only in USD or multi-currency? |
07:54 | <notKevin> | Thank's whoever takes the time to answer! |
07:57 | <DrJ> | notKevin: generally Linodes run linux operating systems... it's possible to run others but I wouldn't recommend personally |
07:57 | <DrJ> | each linode comes with one public IPv4 address and way too many IPv6 addresses if you need them |
07:58 | <wraeth> | And you can run any x86 application provided the OS can support it (ie. isn't an x86_64-only OS). |
07:58 | <DrJ> | https://www.linode.com/pricing <--not sure what cpu optiosn you are talking about, but here are the plans |
07:59 | <@jcardillo> | notKevin: we've received several requests for the ability to host your own IP ranges. i've added your inquiry regarding that to our internal tracker. |
07:59 | <@jcardillo> | no ETA at the moment :) |
07:59 | <DrJ> | that would be nice |
07:59 | <@jcardillo> | +1 |
08:00 | <@jcardillo> | billing is only in USD |

14:29 | <yancy> | greetings. I'm wondering if someone can assist with opening a port. |
14:31 | <nuevu> | !ask |

14:33 | <yancy> | I have a debian machine running, and I issued an iptables command to open a port. The port shows it's listed as open, but when I try to access the port externally with curl it doesn't connect |
14:34 | <yancy> | should I curl to the ip address listed in the linodes interface? |
14:34 | <nuevu> | Is there a service listening on that port that's actually running? |
14:34 | <yancy> | yes |
14:34 | <nuevu> | If you're using curl, I'm assuming that should be a web server of some sort. |
14:34 | <yancy> | it works fine from the machine against localhost |
14:35 | <yancy> | yes it's listening for post requests |
14:35 | <nuevu> | What iptables rule did you add? |
14:35 | <yancy> | iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8333 -j ACCEPT |
14:37 | <linbot> | New news from community: Linode CCM wont schedule <https://www.linode.com/community/questions/18581> |
14:39 | <nuevu> | Okay, so you said it's working from localhost? What are you trying to connect to that's not working? You do need to make sure you're connecting to the external IP. |
14:39 | <yancy> | how do I find the external ip? |
14:39 | <yancy> | I tried the same IP I use for ssh |
14:40 | <nuevu> | That's most likely the correct IP then |
14:41 | <yancy> | after I issue the iptables command, is there anything else I need to run on the debian machine |
14:41 | <yancy> | ? |
14:41 | <nuevu> | It's possible there are other iptables rules that are dropping external traffic before your new rule is applied. Can you paste the output of `iptables -L -nv` (not directly in the channel)? |
14:42 | <@scrane> | !bpaste |
14:43 | <@scrane> | !paste |
14:43 | <linbot> | Please paste longer snippets over at https://bpaste.net/ and not in the channel |
14:43 | <@scrane> | That's the one. If you can share the output via a bpaste link that would be best, and hopefully we can help point you in the right direction with that. |
14:44 | <yancy> | sure one moment |
14:47 | <yancy> | https://bpaste.net/show/_0w6 |
14:47 | <nuevu> | So, your firewall is already set to ACCEPT everything (not a great idea). |
14:48 | <nuevu> | It looks like you're also trying to connect to a Docker container running on that port, is that right? |
14:48 | <yancy> | hmm is that the default when spinning up a vm? |
14:48 | <yancy> | yes it's a docker container |
14:49 | <nuevu> | I honestly don't know what the default DEbian firewall looks like, so I couldn't tell you if that's a normal default or not. |
14:51 | <nuevu> | Sorry, but I don't have a strong enough handle on Docker networking to tell you if the problem is on that end. It's interesting that you said it works from localhost, though. It's possible that Docker's doing some filtering to limit external connections by default. |
14:51 | <yancy> | strange I can connect using localhost in the vm but using the ip that I assume is the public ip gives me a connection refused |
14:52 | <yancy> | verified I'm using the public ip listed under ipv4 |
14:53 | <yancy> | ok thanks. I guess this is not a port problem after all |
14:55 | <nuevu> | It doesn't look like it's directly one, but still might be related. Sorry, hopefully someone else has a brilliant idea. |

16:05 | <chesty> | with docker you usually publish a port to have it accessible from the internet. you could do it manually with iptables I guess since that's what publish does |
16:06 | <chesty> | you would need to use the nat table and the PREROUTING chain |

21:28 | <millisa> | Let's find out |
21:29 | <eswenson_> | I want to run an emulator on my linode that doesn't support the tun device, but only the tap device. I wonder if linodes allow me to use a tap device. |

21:31 | <eswenson_> | I tried to set up a bridge to my tap0 device and failed and lost ssh access to my linode. I ended up logging in from the console and rebooting my linode. |

21:57 | <kiteguy> | Hi... Anyone here able to help on some advanced networking questions about Linode? |

22:02 | <kiteguy> | A friend who uses linode is trying to set up a tap interface... is that possible on linode? |
22:03 | <millisa> | If it was the eswenson person in a few moments ago, they may have to wait for someone that knows the answer. Or put in a ticket or one of those community questions (I don't know the answer) |
22:03 | <kiteguy> | Yes it is for him |
22:04 | <kiteguy> | Is it possible to run a VM on a linode server? |
22:06 | <kharlan11> | virtualbox from the command line is a thing. I do it at home. |
22:06 | <kharlan11> | it's actually pretty neat. |
22:07 | <kiteguy> | Can you set a network connection to that VM from the outside world? |
22:07 | <kiteguy> | Note this is not a virtual machine in the normal sense of one :-) |
22:10 | <kharlan11> | I'm not sure. I'd assume setting the adapter to NAT would get it working. |
22:12 | <kiteguy> | The machine currently really only connects to a TAP interface. |
22:13 | <kharlan11> | are tap interfaces like fifo pipes |
22:14 | <kiteguy> | They are basically a ethernet network interface. |
22:14 | <kiteguy> | They send and recieve raw packets |
22:16 | <kharlan11> | Have you already asked support about this? They may be able to give you a better answer much quicker. |
22:17 | <kiteguy> | No I have not... also I don't have a linode machine |
22:18 | <kiteguy> | I am asking for a friend who does not know networking that well |
22:18 | <wraeth> | I'm not sure if the CPU presented to linodes has virtualization extensions, but running nested virtualization is probably not the most fun thing to do (read: it isn't, I've tried, though not on a linode). |
22:18 | <kiteguy> | I is not virtuallizing... it is an emulator for another computer |
22:20 | <wraeth> | <kiteguy> Is it possible to run a VM on a linode server? |
22:20 | <wraeth> | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
22:21 | <kiteguy> | Yes... easier for people to understand then an emulator |
22:21 | <millisa> | what *are* they trying to run specifically? for all we know there's a how-to sitting in the docs for it |
22:22 | <kiteguy> | SimH KA10 simulator... and I can run it fine at home with a tap interface. |
22:22 | <kiteguy> | emulator actually runs fine on linode... just can't connect to internet |
22:28 | <wraeth> | Well the standard kernel appears to have CONFIG_TUN set, which I believe is all you need to be able to instantiate a tap interface device. |
22:28 | <kiteguy> | Yes.... problem is how to set it up with a br interface on linode server |
22:29 | <wraeth> | Probably largely the same way you would set it up with a br interface on any other system. |
22:29 | <kiteguy> | Unless they block it |
22:30 | <wraeth> | So the question is "does Linode restrict the creation of tap devices" rather than "how to"? |
22:30 | <kiteguy> | might be a better question |
22:30 | <wraeth> | :) |
22:31 | <kiteguy> | Or is there anything specific that you have to do to create such a beast |
22:31 | <wraeth> | I don't believe they do, but I am but a lowly keyboard monkey. |
22:32 | <kiteguy> | Not sure... if he can create a tap and connect it up to his ethernet port then the rest is easy |
22:37 | <wraeth> | Seems to be a few results when searching for "linode tap bridge". They mostly relate to OpenVPN, but could prove useful. |
22:37 | <kiteguy> | yeah... I am not sure how hard it would be to convert app to use tun |
23:03 | <millisa> | I got as far as getting br0 with my public IP and getting the linode responding on ssh again along with a tap0 interface listed. when I did the brctl addif br0 tap0 I'd lose ssh and don't really know how to test further. |
23:04 | <kiteguy> | You probably need to do it via a script.... cause you have to touch some routing after you doit. |
23:04 | <millisa> | i was doing it from the console |
23:04 | <kiteguy> | I had similar problem when testing... my home directory is off NFS... so droping network messing things up |
23:05 | <millisa> | linode has this thing called 'lish' (there's a graphic version called 'glish') that lets you do things like you are on kvm or a serial |
23:05 | <millisa> | !lish |
23:05 | <linbot> | LISH allows you to perform certain actions without having to log in to the Linode Manager. LISH's primary function is to allow you to access your Linode's console, even if networking is disabled. https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/using-the-linode-shell-lish |
23:05 | <kiteguy> | Ok... will ask him to try using that. |
23:07 | <kiteguy> | Does linode run DHCP? |
23:09 | <millisa> | i've only ever used a static setup |
23:09 | <kiteguy> | Ok... it support static configuration also |
23:10 | <millisa> | this talks about it https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/linux-static-ip-configuration/ |
23:11 | <millisa> | this was my quick attempt on a centos7 system: https://vomitb.in/CAbprWv5iN |
23:11 | <kiteguy> | Oh.... he can ask for an additional ethernet interface with an address |
23:12 | <millisa> | Additional IP's, but they'd be on eth0 still. |
23:12 | <kiteguy> | You can attach to eth1 with the program. |
23:13 | <millisa> | !ips |
23:13 | <linbot> | Each Linode comes with 1 public IPv4 address and 1 public IPv6 address. Additional IPv4 addresses are $ 1 per month, and require technical justification. A /64 or /56 of IPv6 can be routed to your Linode at no charge. |
23:13 | <kiteguy> | Unfortunatly it only support IPv4 |
23:14 | <millisa> | (not sure how hard it'd be to use what you're doing for a justification; I'd give it to you just because it's interesting) |
23:14 | <kiteguy> | I can attach the simulator to a eth# or a tap# connection. |
23:18 | <kiteguy> | This might work. |
23:19 | <millisa> | curious - why are they trying to do this on a linode and not on a local virtualbox? |
23:20 | <kiteguy> | Because that is where he wants to run it... so he can access it from various places |
23:20 | <millisa> | poor question; what are they actually gonna do in the sim instance? anything neat/sharable? |
23:21 | <kiteguy> | It is to run ITS on the net. |
23:21 | <wraeth> | FWIW, they could probably achieve the same thing hosting at home using NAT and DynDNS, provided their connection is stable/big enough. |
23:21 | <kiteguy> | Not sure their connection is. |
23:22 | <kiteguy> | I can run it if I poke some holes in my firewall |
23:22 | <wraeth> | Sure, was just offering an alternative. |
23:22 | <millisa> | looks like I've got a nice video before bed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FzGWbh0T6M |
23:23 | <kiteguy> | Yes... I an the author of KA10... Lars is the one who is restoring ITS. |
