Scaleway, Starter Cloud Server : Opinion ?

johnnymatt

Hello. Is someone using the 2.99€ (+VAT) ?
Your Opinion ? Not so happy. Ive just tested a VPS with CentOS. Ive tried several time to use (correctly) my pubblic key and the "server" refuse to accept it. After that i try to install Ubuntu and with some magic i can use my pubblic key. Unfortunately for me, broken Image of CentOS = no Fun..

Here's the bench if someone is interested about.

It works flawlessly. May be you didn't add the public key to Scaleway profile before installing? I think it doesn't allow to install without public key in profile. Not sure why that happened to you.

However, it works fine. LSSD would be the issue in Baremetal which is not the same in VPS.

Thanks for suggestion but i added correctly the pubblic key before installing the CentOS Image. Sound like the Distro is Broken because i can ssh (server recognize my public key) but when i digit my passphrase correctly im logged out instantly (i use Smartty but ive done a test with putty too, same error).

I've used several of them under Debian and ssh key always worked fine.

He only has 2 gigs of RAM and no swap. That's not quite enough for CentOS.

Is that snark? I've run CentOS on much smaller containers, though not for very long.

No. It's actually snide. Snide is snark to the power of two. Kind of like CentOS's RAM requirements.

No GUI no need so much RAM.
