LKE Now Supporting Kubernetes v1.21.1

Gentoo Linux 1.4, available through the Distro Wizard. I “emerged” a Gentoo Linux 1.4 filesystem from stage 3, compiled and optimized for >= Pentium4 (Xeon). I will admit, it might be a little rough around the edges. Feedback would be appreciated. Gentoo Site: http://www.gentoo.org/ Enjoy! -Chris

It’s called DirectAdmin [b]DirectAdmin[/b] http://www.directadmin.com/. Not to turn this into a marketing blurb or anything, but — this thing is really nice! It’s fast and has a great […]

Linode.com Version 1.0.45 – Resize Disk Image (also resizes ext2/3 filesystems automagically). Members Section –> Disk Images –> select a disk image. You can resize from there. A few notes… This will resize a disk image of ANY type (including RAW, swap, ext2, ext3), but it will only “expand” the filesystem if it’s labled as […]

I made some modifications to the Distro Wizard. It now calculates and sets the default image size to (freespace-swap) rather than defaulting to 100 MB. This should help reduce the number of mis-deployments. I also added the minimum size to the drop-down box, so you don’t have to go fetch the dists page. We launched […]

I’ve added a feature for booting into single user mode. Single user mode boots the system only into, you guess it, single user mode. Its useful for running fsck or repairs on disks, or trying to recover a broken system. The “single user mode” option can be set for each Configuration Profile. You could even […]

I’ve opened up some slots on a new server for Linode 64s that came online this evening. It’s a nice machine – dual 2.66 Ghz Xeons, 3GB RAM. It also has an upgraded host kernel and upgraded network filtering. Enjoy! -Chris

Create a disk image, formatted to ext3 (or whatever) Go into your config profile Find an empty /dev/ubd* device – probably /dev/ubdc if you’ve got a root and a swap already. Select your new drive label from the drop-down. Save the config Reboot your linode Now, inside the Linode, you can mount it like so: […]

If you purchase additional IP addresses for your Linode, you must reboot your machine before the IP addresses will function correctly. Also, remember that the first IP address is used when your DHCP client requests network info. This can cause problems if your IP was 64.5.53.20 and now you’ve added 64.5.53.100 because when sorted, the […]
