Hello , Anyone is using scaleway vps·s ? i"ve got an invitation and i see good prices . [image] European Cloud & AI. | Scaleway Build on a secure, transparent, and fast-moving cloud & AI platform built for what’s next. PS. https://community.scaleway.com …

[image] probus: But what kind of numbers are we talking about here? What would the 2-3 fold cpu speed difference do in terms of latency or concurrent users for example? If you doubled or tripled(!) single-core CPU performance, you’d be reducing the page generation component of site load time …

Thanks! So bringing this back to topic, ScaleWay (SW), we can roughly estimate that 1 DigitalOcean (DO) core is about twice as fast as 1 SW core. DO CPU is not dedicated, so the performance varies: worst case close to SW and best case even quicker. That means that the page generation time on SW wo…

Lots of slow cores is not a good match to Discourse. If it was in a compiled language, perhaps that would be OK. But it’s Ruby.

Yeah, got to agree with @codinghorror here… I think it’ll cost you a lot more than 100ms in page generation time.

Has anyone trialed Discourse on Scaleway’s x86_64 servers? I was about to start myself, but the setup fails early at the Dockers installation script. wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh This results in error messages about AUFS support and suggests to install linux-virtual meta-packages for ad…

Responding to myself. One needs to: Create server Hidden under server’s advanced settings, switch to bootscript that contains docker Reboot Voila! (Excuse my french)

Oh and they block SMTP by default. Say Merde! a few times. (Excuse my french) Switch off STMP block in control panel’s security group settings. (Hm..still having problems with Scaleway + SendGrid SMTP, even with the block disabled)

As promised, now running my small hobby site on ScaleWay. Runs just fine on my light loads - few hundred page views per day, mostly anonymous visitors. Perfectly usable for Discourse development and smaller communities. They should also scale up rather nicely, if needed. 50GB SSD is a great feature…

You need to hard reboot in order to unblock SMTP…:poop:

I used it back when they just offered C1 servers (now they offer C2 and C3 too i guess). Though they do offer a one click setup, but there were some restrictions. Setting up firewalls was not the usual way, i dont remember very clear but there was some complication to it. And if i remember correct,…
