So when its setup. How exactly do I use it for IPFS?
I am thinking that 50 gigs is probably enough for me to know if I am enjoying having this kind of setup or not. Being able to pay in SBD is pretty fucking nice too.
Alright guys I paid for a 50 gig vps server!
I am learning all about this stuff at my work. To be able to pay with SBD is fucking crazy!! I still have a lot to learn though. Why did you purchase this space? how long do you have access to those resources?
Per month, its 50 gigs.
My goal will be to use this to pin videos I upload to dtube.
If I remember correctly, you can't use a server in Germany for IPFS.
Edit: Yup, this is taken from their page:
https://pay.privex.io/order/
Its even in red.
Correct :)
Our German/Finnish provider does not allow IPFS, and they have firewall rules in place that suspend any servers that try to run it.
We've applied our own firewalls to attempt to stop people from being able to run it in the first place, to cut down on the abuse emails we get from the provider.
It's fine in the US though :)
I am not in Germany, why is this such a big deal? Let the Germans figure it out.
The server that you ordered is in Germany though so if you try and run IPFS on it, it'll get terminated.
ooohhh shit... damnit...
Think they have like 10 days or refund or something. Try contacting them about it.
@gray00 might be able to help.
RIP, I cant run IPFS on this service because German government are butt hurt morons apparently. RIP my 8 SBD...
Put in a support ticket, they might just switch it out for a server in a different region. Privex has servers in multiple locations I believe.
oh ok, I hope so because fucking hell, being able to pay in SBD is gold!
You can dm me on Discord if you still need help setting it up. i also wrote a guide here https://steemit.com/ipfs/@gray00/how-to-install-the-onelove-discordipfs-bot-on-ubuntu-16-04
I am still waiting for Privex to get back to me on the support ticket.
Awww. That sucks boo
