Well nifty offer, giving serious consideration to this, simply due the nifty factor. Well played, @rds100.
Would love to see more Providers doing this..
just saying.. FitVPS's RPi's are absolutely awesome especially for the price!
Ordered one, not sure why. LoL.
@Kujoe that's the spirit ;-)
Couldn't pass this up. If nothing else, I'll have nice green circle in Bulgaria now.
@Nekki Not just in Bulgaria, but on the Black Sea too ;-)
Interesting that nobody asked "What's July Morning?".
You're giving us a 42% discount. You could call it the 'this morning I murdered a family of 4' discount, you'd still get no questions.
@Nekki LOL
I didn't know you're a hippie @rds100
In Bulgaria, there is a tradition called July Morning (Bulgarian: Джулай Морнинг) which is believed to be an echo from the hippie era of the 1960-1980s.Although not universally observed in the country, it is unique as it is not observed anywhere else in the world.Did a speed test to a test server near my house, not the best but still good enough for my needs.

And unfortunately i haven't met the sunrise on the sea shore for like 5 years
Now that i'm married and have a kid the priorities change. Still i value the freedom spirit.
I can agree with that. Just bought one!
Just to be clear, everyone who has bought a plan with GVH should buy one of these to atone for their past sins.
I just wonder what's people doing with Raspberry Pi as a server? With 5$/mo we can buy a VPS which more powerful.
I really want to ask, not trolling. Please tell me the reason, thanks!
You could, but everyone and their grandma has a VPS. Very few people have a Raspberry Pi. And people like to be unique ;-)
Besides the Raspberry Pi is all dedicated hardware, not shared.
This is the first time I've ever bought service outside of the US and $5.80/month for dedicated resources sounds like I'm going to have some fun with it.
@rds100 Any possibility of ordering more disk space in the form of a bigger USB drive or an NFS mount?
@KuJoe i'll have to check what size USB sticks are available from our suppliers, haven't thought about that before. We chose the current USB stick model because it's supposed to be more reliable/durable (a "Pro" version), not because of the size.
NFS mount from the raspberry would be slow unfortunately, it only has a 100Mbps ethernet port, and not a native one at that, but through a USB-to-Ethernet chip.
Hmm damn, temping temping!
@catalystium Resistance is futile ;-)
Wondering if observium would work on it.
Frankly i've no idea. What requirements does observium have, RAM and CPU wise?
Observium is pretty CPU intense, I wouldn't run it on a Raspberry Pi. We have an Observium install monitoring about a dozen servers and we had to upgrade because 2 cores from an Intel Xeon weren't cutting it.
Yeah I'm not sure you can even run it on the Pi.
Could always use it as a little test server, still contemplating haha.
@KuJoe It depends on the use, I run observium for monitoring some basic tasks in a couple of servers in a 128MB box and runs smoothly. But, I don't know if can be installed and run in rPI, though. If you use it, give us a note here!
Is that the community or the full fat Observium? I'm running the community version on a 2 Xeon core VPS and it's barely registering a load of .20 at it's highest. I'm monitoring 20-ish devices.
@rds100
Just signed up and paid like 2 min ago - nice offer, thanks!
Wow, talk about leaving it till the last second
@0xdragon
LOL, just got some cash today - :-P
I am using the community version (just switched from the old version before they split it) so I must have something configured incorrectly. Here are the alerts we've received just for today for our Observium node that monitors 15 devices and 239 ports:
