9front VPS

Hello,

I’m new to 9front and I’d like gain some practical experience on running a 9front installation. It seems that 9front.org <http://9front.org/> servers are hosted at Ramnode. I thought that I’d start by installing a 9front cpu/file/auth-server on Ramnode for hosting my personal emails and web server just for fun.

I can’t see 9front as an installation option so how should I proceed with the installation?

What server plan (OpenVZ or KVM) you would recommend?
http://ramnode.com/vps.php <http://ramnode.com/vps.php>

Are there other hosting providers that you can recommend?
Is it possible to install 9front on DigitalOcean or GCE?

Cheers,
Kare

ramnode's process is you buy a vm with any operating system and then you
can use an arbitrary iso via their control panel once you have a vps.

9front will not run under OpenVZ (nothing will except linux, really).

People have had good success with Ramnode and Vultr.  9front should run
on any provider that uses KVM.  You'd have to ask their support people
if they'd let you do it.
