Looks like Peer 1 may not be around anymore:

Hello @Krydos, I apologize in advance for the extra effort here; I made a mistake through the ordering process & selected one of the predefined options that did not allow me to choose a custom OS. Could I have the VPS Rebuilt with a NixOS ISO? Below is the following information related to this request: - Username: VM - OS Requested: NixOS 23 - Domain: vps96.heliohost.us Please let me know if there is anything else needed from me. Kind Regards, Vince

Will do! Thank you!

Well, that definitely does drive the number of posts I can do 😕 Seeing something like that makes me want to be around the forums, I always love a challenge! Knowing this, I could maybe provide support within from all those Emails that come in

I did some math & here is what I figured: 400 posts/12 months comes to roughly 33.33 posts which could pretty much equate to a post a day give or take. Now the question I have which is the big question... Does HelioHost still continue the free domain requests program? I can see this will be my 10th post & would only need 390 more which would then get me the free domain by the beginning of May next year, maybe even sooner if I find more content related to HN/HH to post

Good to know, thank you for sharing as well!

Ohhh, your good! Sorry, should have conveyed a thank you for sharing! Here are one of the testimonials I am referring to that lead me to believe that HH/HN was originally one of those networks that would give hosting space if you met the requirements. One of those requirements was forum posts. Although I'm reading that wrong as well & the original reference that led me to believe what I believe is from this page: https://wiki.helionet.org/hosting/helionet. Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see that. Anyone know why this feature was discontinued?

😮 Whoa!!! This was not what I was referring to, the second Testimonial near the bottom of the page here: https://heliohost.org/ is what has one reference to what I'm referring to. @wolstech, is one still able to attempt this? Would I be able to do this in Ookma's post above?

I don't recall where I seen it, but was HelioHost a Post to Host platform at one point or another?

Jealous of the Fiber some of you have.

Yet, one's self could unfold, being outside of oneself to break oneself.

Hello HH, I would like to change my primary domain as follows for my account (vincentmaule) : vincentmaule.helioho.st -> fish-maule.com Kind Regards, Vince

Awesome! this is exciting! Reflecting back to my experience & what I know, there will have to be effort to get NixOS working on Heliohost just like other hosts. There are many resources that already exist out there that will help bridge the gap for these efforts I could be also blowing this process itself out of proportion but I always like to be over prepared than not prepared. As such To heed @wolstech's response; I propose the use of the following resources to achieve the goals of getting NixOS working for Heliohost & encourage further development of NixOS within HelioHost: A sub category under HelioNet's Wiki to capture to basics requirements for getting NixOS working on a VPS & a bridge for other NixOS Centric resources. Existing Resources: NixOS Official Wiki: https://wiki.nixos.org Guide to learning Nix & Flakes: https://zero-to-nix.com/ A new Repository under Helio Networks Github profile. Source Code of Nix Code used for Heliohost Tracking of Projects related to Nix: Implementation of NixOS on Heliohost Again, I like to be over prepared rather than under prepared/not prepared. Having the above resources I believe would best bridge the gap for collaborations. Maybe other people who have experience with Nix could provide perspective here. Kind Regards, Vince

Hello HelioNet, Recently stumbled upon this resource (Heliohost/Helionet), I noticed I can choose an OS when I sign up for a VPS. Based on what I'm reading, very interested in becoming a member; especially with the idea of snagging a free account on Johnny. But looking at what I do have the time to get right now, can I choose a custom template such as NixOS? Looking to sign up for a VPS. I currently use this same template with Linode & more than happy to work to get NixOS going on the platform/beta test deployments. I would even be happy to write Guides & Source Code for HH in my free time. Kind Regards, Vince
