Completed the move to VPS. Yey!

April 17th, 2009 by michael

This site, along with my others, is now running on a VPS (Virtual Private Server). Yey!…   

Memory is tight, sooo.. I’ve

  • dropped FTP support, as SCP works just fine.
  • dropped fail2ban since it is a memory hog. Denyhosts will do for ssh only.
  • tweeked stack sizes to reduce overheads.
  • tweeked mysql to reduce memory usage.

While I wait for DNS to update, I’ve used xinetd to forward existing services to the new server. With luck this will be a mostly seemless transfer.
