Yes, it's good to go, now. Thanks!

Please reboot my VPS - vps38, username pjdadmin. I ran an apt upgrade a while ago and it's not responding.

Oh, OK. That works. What about webmail? Is that SSL-enabled by default?

I need to be able to configure a mailbox or two and I want encrypted connections for web mail and SMTP/IMAP. It looks like the way Plesk is set up it would be easiest for me to just use Tommy for the web site, as the "default" set up usually is. I think that would make it easy for me to use Plesk to set up the Let's Encrypt certs. I don't really care about the basic web site at this point, just getting Mattermost set up on the VPS at chat.pizzanbeer.wtf with email working for the pizzanbeer.wtf domain. Thanks for your patience.

However, chat.pizzanbeer.wtf should still point to vps69. Thanks!

OK, thanks. I thought as much, but was hopeful maybe there was an API or something I'm unaware of that you are. May I humbly ask to change my response to your earlier question (below) and host the website on Tommy? ? Apologies for not thinking through the ramifications the first time you configure DNS for me.

Without hosting the web site on Tommy, is there a way to automate applying the cert to the mail server (webmail and IMAP/POP/SMTP)?

Thanks, @Krydos! The mail is working great, including a 10/10 score from mail-tester.com. Can you share or point me to info to help me get a Let's Encrypt cert for the mail server? Plesk complains that it can't find the authorization token at /.well-known/acme-challenge/ which makes sense because I plan to set up a web server on my vps, but haven't, yet. Is this just a one-time validation that I need to create the text file for or will this be a problem when Plesk/Let's Encrypt attempts to renew the cert(s)? If it would be easier/optimal to manage the DNS myself, I can do that, but it seems like I'm this close to having things ready to go.

Yes, vps69 please. Also, please add a subdomain of chat.pizzabeer.wtf also pointing to vps69. Thanks!

Thanks, @Krydos! I wasn't seeing the forest for the tress. ? I just set up the domain pizzanbeer.wtf to use ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org for name servers. Can you please add it to my Tommy account?

Will one of the wonderful folks who do such things please create a PTR record for vps69 using the information below? IPv4: 65.19.191.152 IPv6: 2001:470:1:1ee::69 Domain: pizzabeer.club Thanks! -Ray

Thanks, @moneybrz, @wolstech, and @Krydos! I just ordered another VPS.

Is it possible to have more than one VPS on a given account? If so, I would like to add another VPS, with the same specs/price as the one I have, to my rayzou account.

@Krydos do you need any more information/confirmation from me for this?

Thanks!

@Krydos I saw the New Account Signups post. This is a great milestone. Congrats! I have a quick question. The Plesk ETA page shows me at number 53. Is that taking into account my 20 December 2021 donation?

Thanks for the thorough response! I very much appreciate how much you have going on and the policies you have in place. I did see the posts about Johnny, but I had forgotten what server I was on. Oops. ? I didn't have anything worth attempting to save on my site, so not having a backup available isn't a problem for me. I am excited to get a site that I can start some development with, but I've waited this long, so a few more days isn't a big deal. Will you post an announcement when you have new account creation working? Thanks, Ray

I sent an email to support@heliohost.org a little over two days ago (8 May 22) but I haven't received any response nor do I see anything posted in the email support forum for it. On 20 Dec 21 I donated to move up in the Plesk queue and I've kept my eye on my place in the queue. In the last week, as things picked up, I saw that my turn was swiftly approaching, but now I don't get any status for my email address - ray@greeble.com - when I view the ETA queue and I didn't get any email about my account being migrated. Can someone please tell me the status of my account and, if it's been migrated, how I can log in and manage it? Thanks! -Ray

Thanks, wolstech! I'm in!

I may have added a placeholder file to verify that I had access, but, no, I had no content that I am concerned about losing. However, I had finally gotten time to begin working in earnest on a project for which I want to use this account. Can you please re-create my account ASAP? Kind regards, Ray

I just tried to log in after the Johnny upgrade and got a "no account in our database..." message. My username is rayd Please restore my account. Kind regards, Ray
