My Gemini capsule, running gmid on an OpenBSD VM hosted by Vultur, somehow got borked, and restoring from a previous snapshot doesn't change a thing, which makes me suspect the problem is Vultur's. The VM won't even boot. I get dumped into some sort of debug console instead. Meanwhile they've dropped support for OpenBSD so I can't spin up a fresh OpenBSD VM unless I bring my own ISO and hope nothing goes wrong again.

I've known about this for over a week now, but haven't settled on a VM provider for my capsule's next home yet. Any suggestions?

Nice, thanks. Might consider them next time I feel like messing around with OpenBSD. · 2 years ago

@mntn I've liked it well enough so far. Certainly feels like a small company. I signed up and some hours later received an email with login information for my VM, information on how to connect to the VM's host to manage my VM using vmctl, and instructions on how to pay my yearly invoice. A note has to be manually included with the payment regarding which VM the payment is for, in keeping with the "small company" feeling.

Once all that was squared away, it's exactly like having an OpenBSD VPS. Aside from the strangely manual signup and payment process, there've been no surprises really. · 2 years ago

Let me know if it's any good, I like OpenBSD but I never run it except at home due to generally poor hosting support. · 2 years ago

@mntn An OpenBSD-focused hosting service sounds perfect for my needs. Thanks! · 2 years ago
