## Alpine Linux 3.15 celebration
|
|
|
|
Just recently [Alpine Linux
|
|
3.15](https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.15.0-released.html) has
|
|
ben released. Also just a few days ago the first public
|
|
[dedicated server offer from ungleich](../dedicated-december-2021) has
|
|
been released. Enough reason to add one on top of it:
|
|
|
|
**Dedicated, low power servers running with Alpine Linux 3.15**
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Low Power Servers
|
|
|
|
We are proudly using the [PC Engines
|
|
APU](https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm) in a lot of places at Data Center
|
|
Light. They are small, robust and easy to handle. And furthermore:
|
|
they consume only about 10W of power.
|
|
|
|
While there are other systems that are more power efficient, these
|
|
boxes are very suitable to be running as a tiny cluster. Webserver? No
|
|
problem. Mail server? No problem.
|
|
|
|
So let's have a look at the specifications:
|
|
|
|
* 4 real cores
|
|
* 4 GB RAM
|
|
* 1x 120GB SSD (usable: ca. 100GB)
|
|
* Gigabit Ethernet
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The offer in detail
|
|
|
|
The offer is valid for all orders received between 2021-12-06 to
|
|
2021-12-24. The monthly price is 100 CHF instead 150 CHF.
|
|
The price stays the same until the end of the contract.
|
|
|
|
You get:
|
|
|
|
* A dedicated, routed /48 IPv6 network
|
|
* A dedicated layer 2 network
|
|
* (optional, add on) IPv4 addresses (mapped via NAT64)
|
|
* **No setup fee** (instead of regular setup fee of 50 CHF)
|
|
* A server powered by 100% hydro power
|
|
|
|
The fine print:
|
|
|
|
* Minimum contract duration: 3 months
|
|
|
|
On order, you get access to the server with Alpine Linux 3.15
|
|
installed. You will need to provide your public SSH key for accessing
|
|
the device.
|
|
|
|
The server includes 15TB traffic per month. Additional 30TB traffic
|
|
can be added for 75 CHF/month. The server is located in an *IPv6 only*
|
|
network. It can reach the IPv4 Internet via outgoing NAT64. If you
|
|
need **incoming** IPv4 connectivity, we offer dedicated public IPv4
|
|
addresses for 9 CHF/month. They are mapped via NAT64-SIIT
|
|
to an IPv6 address of your choice.
|
|
|
|
The default setup fee of 50 CHF for dedicated servers is removed for
|
|
this offers.
|
|
|
|
The offer is limited to 10 dedicated servers on a first come, first
|
|
serve basis.
|
|
|
|
## The costs in the offer and even more competitve offer
|
|
|
|
Some of you will be doing the calculation of what it costs for hosting
|
|
it yourself. And we want to be as transparent as possible so that you
|
|
understand how the price is calculated.
|
|
|
|
The costs for ungleich consist roughly of:
|
|
|
|
* The hardware itself (~150~200 CHF)
|
|
* The manual work (~150 CHF)
|
|
* The support work (~100 CHF)
|
|
* The electricity (~5-10 CHF/month)
|
|
* The network traffic (~20~90 CHF/month)
|
|
|
|
Some of these can be optimised with larger quantities, but some of
|
|
them are rather static. However you can see that the network traffic
|
|
(based on 10~50 Mbit/s average) is one of the bigger parts of the
|
|
monthly cost.
|
|
|
|
For that reason, we offer a second, even more affordable version: if
|
|
you commit on using less than 10 Mbit/s on average (still burstable up
|
|
to 1000 Mbit/s), we can offer the dedicated APU for 50 CHF/month.
|
|
|
|
## What if it hardware breaks?
|
|
|
|
As this is real hardware, hardware failures can occur and they will be
|
|
repaired without any extra cost. It is however your responsibility to
|
|
inform the Data Center Light team about issues. Response times
|
|
according to [your selected SLA level](/u/products/ungleich-sla/).
|
|
|
|
## How can I start / how can order?
|
|
|
|
You can order at the
|
|
[Data Center Light / Dedicated APU Alpine 3.15](https://datacenterlight.ch/product/dedicated-apu/) or
|
|
on [Data Center Light / Dedicated APU Alpine 3.15 10
|
|
Mbit/s](https://datacenterlight.ch/product/dedicated-apu-10mbit/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the order is confirmed you will get access to the server within 5 working days.
