[SOLVED] best and cheapest hosting provider

I picked Germany as my region (NRW), you can select any region.

I think Zero Two picked Austria and there is no ARM datacenter in this country, so he can't select ARM, but he can also not switch his region anymore!

This really sucked, and we could not figure out how to switch him to another region without contacting support or something. Make sure not to pick some small country as your region, or you will probably run into this same issue and your account is broken.

This map of regions is the best I could find. It doesn't show which regions have ARM, but maybe try to pick the ones with Azure, since those are probably the bigger and more modern datacenters.

Thank you. Yes, locked in to a small amount of countries. I choose Sweden as my home, because it was the closest.

Though I did get an email this morning, I think, that the account was now setup, finished. I have to look at it again.

Will investigate. ty

In addition to choosing hoster and configuring server I think we need to provide more info in server's messages. I wrote my opinion here https://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=9625 . May be some players are interested in some events or chats. AFAIK FAF wrote info in MOTD but I'm trying to extend this idea.

I'll look at it.

From your homepage: I recently made Xonotic docker containers for ARM for easy installation.

Do you run Xonotic in Docker on the Arm server?

No, you can use the autobuilds and compile ARM binaries from them with a single command. This is even easier, unless you are running on embedded systems or other oddball stuff.

Code:

# apt install autoconf build-essential curl git libtool libgmp-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libsdl2-dev libxpm-dev xserver-xorg-dev zlib1g-dev unzip zip wget
# unzip xonotic-autobuild.zip
# cd Xonotic
# make server

It is mentioned on my full server instructions for super-fast server setup from full public backup on Github.

Cool, thank you. This is good. It can only become better .)
