VPS.
Why, and which VPS provider do you recommend?
OVH
Been moving more and more stuff there, it might be the most reliable shitty cheap one so far.
I've just moved my test k8s from linode into a test docker swarm on hetzner because I anyway don't test the yml, I test the images. lots cheaper for stuff that does nothing all day. I don't really care if it goes down either, so whatevs. Did get an email from them that I'm going to pay like $1/vps/month more, which is an outrage of 25% increase, but it's still 5x as cheap as linode lol
You seem like an ideal candidate for a used 1U server running Proxmox and a $50/mo colo
I wish. I have 4 colo'd boxes remaining atm but they're a money sink and they're starting to fail more and more. I'm aiming to scale down to 2 production boxes, leased, and a bunch of ultra-cheap VPS that are purely defined by an hcl script, and that's it.
Maybe I should even get rid of the 2 production boxes this year. All I really need is a build street for CI/CD and small shit for myself. Perhaps a single prod box where I don't care if it goes down. Nothing at stake.
what makes it shitty tho?
i was looking at hetzner, seems kind of expensive if you want 16gb ram. Damn, memory expensive these days.
k00b said i shoudl have 16gb to run openclaw
It barely needs 2gb, it a simple process that glues external APIs... a 4GB VPS would have plenty of spare headspace.
Running a local model via ollama etc is a different can of worms, need 16gb of VRAM or 128GB unified DDR5 to do that even half-well.
what makes it shitty tho?
At these price points your not getting a real SLA and probably hardware that's over-provisioned and insufficient redundancy for critical workloads... if something is really important you gotta go to an Akamai-tier vendor
Makes sense. Home security was my biggest concern.
Would it better to set up a home server to run a claw bot, or set up a VPS?
