Something LEB users want?

I've won a Prometeus VPS via the show and tell thread :D

However, I want to give something back to LEB since I like it here. So I want to use that VPS for that.

Is there a service the LEB community members want or need, which can run on a LEB? I already provide Free hosted piwik (web statistics) ofer at https://hosted-oswa.org .

I was thinking about Tiny Tiny RSS, but I'm looking for input from the community. It would be preferably a hosted service where LEB users can sign up for free, like piwik or tiny tiny rss, but it can also be something like Etherpad. I want you all to profit from it, not just me.

  • I vote for Tiny Tiny RSS!

  • secure pastebin?

  • Tiny Tiny RSS and Zerobin look neat. Voting for.. both?

  • what would be nice is a uptime monitor. it'd put the vps to good use.

    I don't think @gubbyte would call it helping, rather correcting or proving wrong (which he loves to do ;-)

    Uptime monitoring, packet loss, things like those.
    Get the test IP or solus, whatever if it is hosted with them of all providers posted in the last poll and keep a statistic. Add others per request.
    For both IPv4 and IPv6 and jitter too.
    That would be fun :)

  • @maounique @curtisg Something like this: http://z1s.org ?

  • @Raymii maybe something like @NickM openstatus script, but modified so you can monitor a limited amount of servers privately, then if you get ssl maybe do something like you can get your own subdomain like https://yourname.raymiisawesomestatuspage.com/ and can display server statuses publically, make some sort of API so it can be integrated into whmcs/hostbill/etc.

    That's not even a bad idea, Curtis!

  • Yeah I am +10 for the monitoring scripts even a modification of what you have wrote already @Raymii for others to use in a hosted model.

    It'd be good use of the server, plus it'd benefit LEB members

  • @pubcrawler said: Yeah I am +10 for the monitoring scripts even a modification of what you have wrote already @Raymii for others to use in a hosted model.

    I've not written it. It is an open source app, from github: https://github.com/fzaninotto/uptime


    It however is killing the server. OpenVZ just SIGKILLs it, according to my strace. And when properly limited (ulimit) the process fails to start. A polling interval of 10 seconds is not a good idea, now trying it with 60...

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Just tell me how much ram do you need.

  • @Maounique as you might have noticed it was topping up 128MB. That is, after about 60 checks are added with a 10sec interval. I'm now changing that to 60 seconds to see how it holds up, but 256 or 512 might help.

    Also, holy sh*t 20GB of BW in one night :P

    @Raymii said: Also, holy sh*t 20GB of BW in one night :P

    Upped to 256 and no worry, just drop me a pm about bw and whatever else you need :)

  • I'm +10 also for the monitoring services
    Aim it to VPS provider & a possibility other can join the monitoring effort, just like serverbear but for uptime monitoring

    Something seems to be wrong, those response times are way above normal.
    Measure round trip or the page load ?

    Thanks :D

    If there is anything you want monitored pm me or mail it :) The app itself has no user authentication or rights/roles, so I filter edits, deletes and creation of checks with NGINX.

    Don't know which one the app monitors

    The check for the prometeus solusvm gives about a 100 ms, and a console ping:

    Aim to a different page and see if check time changes. For example instead of solus, put board.prometeus.net That is a forum and should load way slower than solus login page.

    It is now burning through bandwitdh with about 10GB/hour...

    @maounique
    It is not a good idea to just copy and paste test IP's from leb without removing the /100mb.bin from the test IP url... It should hold up better now...

    Hahahah !
    So this is why it was taking a few seconds to check :)

  • @Raymii

    As you can probably see now, some uptime bar on checks and tags page tend to be inaccurate especially when you decrease monitoring frequency interval. I've noticed this behaviour on my server but I just don't bother because its for personal use. You might want to check that out.
