mattryanflnt Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Hi there. I'm looking to move my services from a shared server, to a VPS Mercury plan. At this time, the lack of access to root features is too restrictive for me on a shared server. Please let me know what you need on my end to make this happen Thank you,
wolstech Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 You'd need to sign up for a VPS first at https://heliohost.org/vps/ Krydos can probably help you get your stuff moved and running once the VPS is built. There might be a short wait to get a VPS due to demand. Krydos will have more info on doing this as it's definitely been done before.
mattryanflnt Posted March 23, 2023 Author Posted March 23, 2023 I don't really require anything to be moved over to the VPS, as I haven't added a whole lot yet. As long as I can have remote connections enabled on the postgres servers I create, and view/edit the postgresql configuration files, that will be everything I need for now.
Krydos Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 I see your request in the system. My guess is you should receive the invite email within 24-72 hours or so. It's kind of hard to guess how many people will accept their invite and how many people will cancel their VPS in the next few days so it's not a guaranteed timeframe. As far as enabling remote connections to PostgreSQL on a Ubuntu 22 VPS this guide should help you https://tecadmin.net/postgresql-allow-remote-connections/ I would use scram-sha-256 instead of MD5 like the guide says though. MD5 has been obsolete for about 6 years now so people should really update their guides.
mattryanflnt Posted March 27, 2023 Author Posted March 27, 2023 Oh, I didn't realize there was this much of a waitlist for a VPS account.
Krydos Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Yeah, we had a wait of about a month for a while there. It looks like it took you about 4-5 days so we're catching up. Let us know if you need help with anything.
