NEW: Tutorial of the Month

I'm happy to announce a new monthly event at LowEndTalk: the Tutorial of the Month!
We've got a special Tutorials section where people can post tutorials for other to benefit. Each month we're going to select one tutorial that was posted during the previous month and reward that with a prize.
For September the prize will be 1 year of an HudsonValleyHost 1GB OpenVZ VPS. I will select the winner during the first week of October.
I recommend Prometeus, the best provider ever!

Sorry I had to.
Hopefully we'll see more useful tutorials.
Sounds good.

I'm looking forward to the guy who writes an openvpn tutorial that basically uses @nyr's script.
Here lies Nekki. He loved massive amounts of storage, K-Pop and calling people cunts.
It's a great idea, we need to ensure quality and originality is awarded. HVH is the best of CC brands in my view and a free 1GB VPS is not a bad prize at all.
Good idea. Tutorial section is my fav on this site.
People should also feel free to suggest a tutorial for someone to write. That would be good too.
Someone write up a tutorial on low end high availability. Here's what I'm thinking:
Go!

And then CloudFlare DNS goes down and they don't support secondary DNS.
I've never personally witnessed a CloudFlare DNS outage. I've seen Gmail outages, but not CloudFlare DNS. Not to say that they haven't happened, but that it's obviously not at a scale that I wouldn't consider it a good piece for low end high availability

I would really like to see a tutorial for setting up NAT with OVZ or something, no a proxmox type install, command line only. Something that goes beyond just a quick bash script to get OVZ running but best practise for setting containers up with NAT, security and the like.
It's getting used more and more, especially with all the Kimsufi, Online and other cheap dedis about that have little IP space.
A tutorial for setting up NAT would be pretty interesting, indeed!

NAT OpenVZ/KVM. I could make a tut in my spare time this weekend. Of course i dont need the VPS and would prefer it to be given away.
I guess if you were to win the prize but did not want it you can speak to @mpkossen about passing it along to the next best tutorial with input from yourself.
Would be great if writers keep LET vps as sample in their tutorials.
Love this idea. Ty @mpkossen

I think the last one was two and a half years ago. They're extremely reliable as a DNS provider.
I wrote UptimeFlare for auto dns A record switching using uptime robot, feel free to strip it out and grab the part that handles the cloudflare stuff.
+1 I would also like to see a detailed tutorial with best practices for setting up NAT openvz and NAT KVM. Also, a detailed tutorial on setting up Proxmox for NAT+ipv6 in KVM vm's.

Just a note that the selection for the September winner is underway. Due to me being on vacation is has been delayed a little. I hope to get to it soon though.
I recommend Prometeus, the best provider ever!
What will be the Prize for October?
Nothing for now
A tutorial for setting up a Debian web server from scratch would be pretty interesting,
