cloud4

• usage: development server -- can move stuff off to home machine once home machine is upgraded... except for the Redmine site, which has historically been a PitA to move. I don't think I've ever succeeded. Redmine remains the only reason I haven't shut this down yet.

Past

cloud1 v2

DECOMMISSIONED 2020-09-12

• usage: Minecraft server, Mattermost server, and one MediaWiki site that could easily be moved to cloud5.
• specs:
  • 8 GB RAM / 160 GB HD~~
  • $40/mo.~~
  • Minecraft seems to hover pretty consistently at 25% of CPU power~~

cloud2 v1

• usage: hypertwins.org email and wiki (moved to cloud5 and later to cloud1 v3, Ubuntu 14.04
• specs:
  • 4 GB RAM / 80 GB HD

• Also destroyed old snapshot "cloud2.hypertwins.net-20180623" ($1.98/mo)

cloud3

DECOMMISSIONED 2019-07-09

• usage was going to be my 3rd-party server, but this no longer seems necessary. Very old system, only another 2 sites left to move off
• specs:
  • 2 GB RAM / 40 GB HD
  • $20/mo but could "resize" to get current price of $10 for about 10 minutes of work~~
