AVX Support in your VPS/Server
-
Registered to chime in, I have netcup
VPS 2000 G9
flags : fpu de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx lm nopl cpuid tsc_known_freq pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm cmp_legacy 3dnowprefetch ssbd ibpb vmmcall
So no avx.
EDIT: Sent a request to support about it.

I've been meaning to do this myself but haven't got around to it. Did you get a response? What did they say? thanks!

I have a Netcup VPS 500 G10s which does not support AVX. I am wondering where should I move to keep compatibility with upcoming Cloudron releases? I can think of two options:
- move to a cheaper Netcup Root Server like RS 1000
- move to a Hetzner VPS
Any other recommendations? I'd like to keep my hosting fees around 10 €/month. If possible I'd like to have a smooth transition and very few technical complexity as my Linux Server skills equal zero.

I would check out Netcup or Contabo. In case you go with Hetzner, you should check their availability for emergencies in the night/morning hours (e. g. outside the typical 9 to 5 working hours). For netcup, you got an emergency hotline that is free in case the issue is on their side and for Contabo I had good experience where they fixed a technical defect in the night in 5 minutes after my email. I'm not sure if Hetzner provides the same level. Of course it's just relevant if your services are business-critical or you need a certain reliability. I think none of these 3 providers are known for having a bad uptime.

@erikscholz I can't say anything about that. Sorry! I just mentioned Contabo because I have very good experience with them and it looks from other posts in this forum that they support it. I just tested it on one of my servers with them (multiple years old) and it's supporting it. So if my older Contabo server support it, I think Netcup rootserver and Contabo should support it quite likely on their newer hostnodes. You could ask them, I'm sure they give you a quick answer.

My Netcup VPS 3000 doesn't support AVX
means I have to order new Netcup RS and do a migration.
How to do a fully migration to a new Server? -
-
@lukas keep your existing server around until after you finish migrating and double checking everything is good.
-
@girish ok but I want to migrate my domain also to my new server and my domain points to my current server now
@lukas when you migrate, the DNS will get updated automatically (if you use on the programmatic DNS providers) to point to the new server. you can power off your old server right before you start the restore on the new server. this way you can be 100% sure that you are working with the new server.

@lukas you can additionally do the full restore as a "dry run" on the new server to check everything is working before syncing the DNS. That's what I do when migrating

I have an old VPS without AVX-Support (for few months for playing) and noticed that 7.6 cancel the installation because of that.
Is it possible to get an older setup (7.5.2) to proceed?
Thx -

--version 7.5.2
to the setup command

Due to the CPU limitations of the ZimaBoard 832, which lacks support for AVX
https://www.zimaboard.com/blog/diy-ultimate-home-server-with-zimaboard-832.html
So no Cloudron 7.6 on this small device.
