Full disclosure on the cost of that free upgrade. The reboot to pick it up hung at the hypervisor level and took the instance with it. Almost 15 hours of downtime, 41.91% uptime for the day, and nothing I could do from inside the box because there was no inside to get to. Worth it. But this is the part of "simple restart" that the is mentioned in email. Also a decent argument for the thing I keep saying: the box is disposable, the data is not. #SelfHosting #VPS #OVH #Downtime #Homelab #Fediverse #Blog #Thoughts

Email from @OVHcloud@mastodon.social this morning: the bandwidth on my VPS went from 400 Mbit to 1 Gbit. Same plan, same price, nothing for me to do. This is the box running dol.social. The one I benchmarked last month, on the grounds that its memory and disk beat the newer 2027 model and the network gap did not matter enough to move. The network gap is now gone too. Correction while I am here: I said 500 Mbit in that thread. It was 400. The conclusion holds, my number did not. #SelfHosting #VPS #OVH #Mastodon #Homelab #Fediverse #Blog #Thoughts

Runnig your own server incl. TLS stuff is always quite funny. You only want to try a new service and you need a certificate for it. In the progress of obtaining this you realize the still unsolved certbot problem where is does not delete old acme challenges from OVH. Okay there ist no update for that using certbot on Debian 12. Okay i could switch to the docker version of certbot, but that does not include the desec.io DNS Provider provider plugin, which i need for the new domain. I could now make my own docker container for that, and keep that updated. Or i make that switch to the Lego acme client which includes numerous DNS Providers and cleans up acme challenges in OVH just fine. Btw still have no certificates for the new domain 🫠️ #desec #ovh #letsencrypt #certbot #lego #selfhosting @homelab@fedigroups.social

Turns out, OVH had to patch all their hypervisors because of a vulnerability in KVM. This did lead to service disruptions to their customers.

Il se trouve, OVH a eu à corriger une vulnérabilité dans KVM sur tous leurs hyperviseurs. Ceci a entraîné des interruptions de service chez leur clientèle

Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you. I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores. Then the surprises started. The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x. Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k. And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper. For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is. Benchmark before you migrate. #SelfHosting #Mastodon #Fediverse #VPS #OVH #Benchmarks #Homelab #Blog #MastoAdmin

It seems like OVH took servers offline in the BHS6 zone 😬

Il semble qu’OVH a éteint des serveurs dans la zone BHS6😬

Twierdzi, że wykradł dane klientów OVH. Szef OVH zaprzecza Podsyłacie nam informacje o tym, że na jednym z cyberprzestępczych kanałów na Telegramie pojawiło się ogłoszenie sprzedaży bazy danych OVH, która miała zostać rzekomo wykradziona z “OVH parent’s account” (cokolwiek przez to rozumie autor). W pozyskanych danych ma rzekomo być: 1.6 milionów rekordów dotyczących "świeżych klientów" OVH 5.9 milionów informacji dot. hostowanych stron Zwracamy jednak uwagę, że Octave Klaba, właściciel OVH zdementował że podane przez sprzedawcę przykładowe dane należą do klienta OVH. A zatem, bez paniki. Ogłoszenie, jak wiele innych, może być próbą oszustwa (wyłudzenia pieniędzy od chętnego kupca). …ale może to też dobry pomysł, aby — jeśli jesteście klientami nie tylko OVH — sprawdzić, czy przypadkiem hasła i inne dane logowania do Waszych hostingów nie są zbieżne danymi logowania do innych miejsc? Albo czy na hostingu nie znajduje się więcej niż powinno. Tak na przyszłość… #OVH https://niebezpiecznik.pl/post/ovh-hack-leak/
