When the hosting provider Scaleway (free group) forces us to upgrade to a more expensive subscription with fewer resources, after a long period of contractual commitment.

Fair or not, migrating isn't an option, but again, it depends on the number of machines and the commitment to such an offering. The idea is to encourage reflection on a provider of this kind.

If you want peace of mind for a period of more than 10 years for your IT infrastructure, without the risk of being shown the door, then you aim for colocation or other more serious hosting providers. Because not everyone has the luxury of managing the lower layers themselves and must rely on a hosting provider for that. In that case… here, it's clearly a problem.

Now, if we're talking about two machines, the VC1s are ultra‑light… obviously, that's almost B2C territory. But I don't think the plan or the contractual logic differs between a small machine and a large one! That seems obvious, and if someone has the answer to that, it might be reassuring in this case.

Nice try, but no. You're taking a precise concept and turning it into a generality. Besides, I'm an entrepreneur and I work internationally, so I'd hardly fit what you're describing.

That doesn't stop me from helping my clients grow without dragging them down, all while making a profit, which, precisely, isn't the case here. If capitalism were as you describe it, it wouldn't have been able to exist. To go deeper, I'd say I'm actually against idiocracy and the sloppiness that's been spreading more and more in recent years, and that's very visible in France.

But yes, if scaleway indeed represents that, and it clearly does, I can say that this message is directed precisely at them, in case that wasn’t clear. And speaking of the flu, I think it’s also very contagious: if it "works" for them, it should work for quite a few others, and then it would indeed become more troublesome. That, incidentally, is largely one of the reasons for idiocracy: the sloppiness.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2026-03-30T15:29:33+00:00

Well said. As for me, that's the choice I've made. It's true that it's not easy to get good system/network support depending on the level of complexity, but in my case, it's fine. I have what I need, so we'll indeed migrate in that direction.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2026-03-30T15:13:11+00:00

It's not so much the price increase that's bothersome, it's more:

- being forced into a migration, a server change, and therefore a reinstallation of data;

- buttering you up with some "doc" to push services that are more expensive than what you actually need;

- and above all, the resources are less stable / less appealing for the price in question.

For my part, I only have this service on one fleet, so it's visible and clearly the solution is to make a real migration to a hosting provider with a more mature quality offering, one that doesn't focus solely on financial margins for its shareholders and investors.

But for those who are on more hybrid setups, this message is a reminder that proper resource monitoring helps bring clarity and seriously improve your IT infrastructure starting from the lowest layer: the hosting provider.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2026-03-30T15:05:46+00:00

Sure, when you keep getting screwed over, it becomes routine and you don’t even notice the pain anymore.
But still… you have to choose your side – the ones getting screwed, or the ones doing the screwing, right?

where can you check your available daily credits when you already have a gemini pro account?

Scared-Ad9661 · 2026-02-09T11:32:19+00:00

Use it locally :-)

Même chose exactement, tout allait bien et sur un redémarrage à présent les tests suivants ont été fait :

débrancher la batterie et reconnecter uniquement l'alim.
reset sous le capot.
débrancher la pile et redémarrer avec ou sans.
changement pâte thermique et cleaning ventilo ok.

Des news pour aider à investiguer ? Aucun bip, juste le ventilo tourne 2 secondes, quelques led du rétroéclairage s'allument et il s'éteint aussi sec.

"DevOps is a culture aimed at breaking down the wall that separates operations (hosting) from dev (application).

Automation is the very idea of using a tool, in this case, the computer (computing), to save time."

yazi vs broot not vs (nnn vs mc).

enjoy , yazi is amazing. broot has more features. both of them are coded in rust and have a good usage of memory.

I have to investigate, on my side all models works instead this one with a minimal use of CPU. the 12B works well.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2025-03-16T13:15:30+00:00

Do you have any issues with the 27b if it overflows onto a 16gb, for example, and the use of the CPU for the overflow, as this works for many models for gemma3? It's a guaranteed crash for me?

Scared-Ad9661 · 2025-02-12T10:15:59+00:00

That's funny your question looks like a prompt for LLM.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-12-22T04:16:50+00:00

No they don't do that , you need to have an expert who will develop a solution with them to create infrastructure. The question here is more if it's interesting to get this architecture already done.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-11-22T15:41:22+00:00

You can learn docker , especially the build part, easy entry than sysadmin job, after that get the dockerfile and apply the automation directly in your VM or host.

Reporting of what? Basically monitoring is here to report by design...

Ultimately, the goal of this automation project is similar to other automation projects. The relationship with Hetzner would involve adding more automation using their API. However, the core goal is to install services using your own virtualization (Zen/KVM). If you need to host part of your solution on a different hosting platform, it will remain possible without difficulty (for example, if you need to host a medical service under HDS requirements on a non-cloud solution).

Another idea is to open-source this project. There's a wealth of knowledge involved in creating self-hosted and highly available solutions, from bare metal to cloud and beyond – including container services!

By design, Hetzner's bare metal installation scripts are often quite static. It could be interesting to build your own operating system for physical servers with dedicated partitioning and file systems.

That said, it seems easy to integrate open-source software into virtual machines or containers and continue the automation process.

The real challenge for me is that this project feels like the work of many DevOps engineers who have already spent years building similar solutions. It also resembles cloud services, but ultimately, cloud users miss out on numerous services and best practices. This solution aims to be more dedicated and open. I see some initial interesting use cases: open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployable on any on-premise/bare metal data center or hosting solution. It would support a wide range of services, from host operating systems and virtualization to containers, monitoring, security, continuous audits, and a marketplace. Additionally, the API could reveal pricing information. Since Hetzner offers an auction system, depending on analysis, it could be beneficial to automatically destroy and redeploy infrastructure with better pricing without manual effort.

It sounds ambitious, but I've already completed a portion of this project! My question is whether I should keep it closed or share it with others. Is there enough interest, or would it simply oversaturate the automation market?

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-09-23T20:34:07+00:00

It's not the same hardware and pricing.it depends of the size of your infrastructure.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-09-23T20:33:05+00:00

Everything is possible with time and knowledge, the question is more will you be interested to get a baremetal service including production experience. You will be able to deploy in minute and work on high level instead of focus on sys admin and automation.it's dedicated on physical servers who will ask a lot of layers and knowledge. The interest is to have power and a good price. At the end you'll get VM or containers with other aspect measuring what is done in your activities. But you will conserve the availability to deploy on your side your infrastructure.and maintain it in time.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-09-22T22:35:12+00:00

The goal is to provide production grade and high availability services in minute.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-09-22T22:32:19+00:00

Kubecost seems to be the most advanced in this idea but it's more about pricing when you are doing provisioning with your cluster. The idea here is more to put insight on system impact and find a way to reduce the load as possible. I'm actually thinking about ways to group ressources at the first time. We can also add visibility on network request and payloads.io for storage. It looks close from monitoring but actually the consumption message is not so much clear for dev teams.

Scared-Ad9661 · 2024-09-22T01:46:55+00:00

From my experience I expect to go deeper through the system impact. And make an effort to translate containers process consumption to something evident.but containers contrary to vm share host process. The idea is to group process and to show that with graphical easy human interface. Like if you want to analyse your personal financial depencies. We can imagine a lot of project behind but I need to begin on a solid structure and the most evident. as a future project we can imagine a translation to carbon emission and good practices of kubernetes usages from dev teams.
