Hello , Anyone is using scaleway vps·s ? i"ve got an invitation and i see good prices . [תמונה] 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 :wink: (DISCOURSE)

24 hours after i buy the vps server …and counting :frowning: No node available i guess … [תמונה]

Are you using their pre-made images? It’s a very old unsupported version.

Yes , its only for testing their vps service. The problem is i can’t create ssh key now…

Scaleway is blocked on Discourse support because of this: [תמונה] Support for ARM servers Feature https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/issues/121 Continuing on from the discussion on ARM support at GitHub. ARM support would be extremely useful for owners of small communities like myself because of the extremely low price (like the Scaleway 2GB ARM servers for €2.99) and for those who can’t afford the move from cheap shared hosting to the dedicated or KVM machines that Discourse requires. https://community.scaleway.com/t/discourse-instantapp/452 There has also been some discussio…

How about now that they have x64 virtual servers? https://blog.scaleway.com/2016/04/05/vc1-new-affordable-variants/

Good question. Does this new development change up the status quo @rriemann?

Would be great to hear some experiences/speculation about the cpu power as well. They have C2550 (dedicated) and C2750 (vps + dedicated) which I’ve understood are slowish in single core performance. Are more available memory and cpu cores able to offset this compared to for example Digital Ocean?

I have not run any tests yet, but I would be interested in a performance comparison as well. :slight_smile:

[תמונה] probus: Are more available memory and cpu cores able to offset this compared to for example Digital Ocean? Note that to the ScaleWay x64 servers are apparently based on Intel Avoton’s (Atom architecture), which to my knowledge do not feature Hyper Threading. So while the physical core count is high, the virtual core count is not. So obviously Xeons will beat these in benchmarks by a large margin (2-3 fold, maybe?). That said, I am going to give them a try with my small side project during the summer. And if your site does not have massive traffic, they may well be worth considering as their plans have pretty large SSDs for the price. Where and what kind of VPS you currently have?

We use DO currently. I know that’s the only supported install and all forums are (somewhat) different, but it would be great if we could get some more general guidelines on Discourse performance on different hardware. Or a way to run some kind of Discourse-benchmark to compare. This is great info: [תמונה] in general: get a fast (single-core performance) CPU, fast disks, lots of RAM, and a low-latency network. The CPU’s single-core performance is the limiting factor for a lot of the page generation time (page render isn’t multi-threaded, so lots of slow cores isn’t useful), while most of the rest is down to how quickly the DB can service requests, which is helped by fast disks (so data gets loaded and saved quickly) and lots of RAM (so you never have to touch those fast disks in the first place). A low-latency network means you’re not left sitting around all day waiting for the packets to get from column A to column B. 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? What about having 2, 4 or 8 cores instead of one? Or doubling or quadrupling the RAM? I can tell you Discourse runs fine on ScaleWay (x64) and the install is as easy as any. I have no idea of the performance, even in theory.
