Another price drop to bring prices back in line with the current USD<->BTC prices. Hopefully I can automate this in the future.

Bump. Just a reminder that there's a hidden service you can use over Tor: http://spore64zke3ofvbp.onion/

I now have a script for deploying Debian 9 on SporeStack via iPXE if anyone is interested. Hoping that iPXE deployments can make multiple providers more possible in the future.

SporeStack is now being used to enable autonomous computing. You can launch a tor relay, it will publish a Bitcoin address, and funds to the address will cause it to renew itself or even buy another, if funds are high enough.

I've made some tweaks so it's easier to have servers buy other servers.

I've rolled this out on go-beyond.org: http://go-beyond.org/post/skynet-0.0.1/

I now have SporeStack servers buying the next set of SporeStack servers before expiry.

How can one use this service as an RDP / VPS ?
I know it runs on Linux, but can I have a GUI / SSH mode? (noob here)

Pretty interesting service. I am surprised you haven't had much media coverage yet.

I've added top up support to SporeStack, making it more useful for traditional VPS users.

https://sporestack.com/news#2017-03-13

It's pretty straight forward. Every server created has a UUID. You can see that UUID with
Code:
sporestack list
. Then run
Code:
sporestack topup --days 28 --uuid (UUID)
to extend the server's end of life.

I've added iPXE support to SporeStack.

Example:

Code:
$ cat coreos
#!ipxe

set base-url http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current
kernel ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz sshkey="ssh-rsa yourkeyhere"
initrd ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
boot
$ sporestack spawn --days 2 --ipxe --startupscript coreos

Couple minutes later:

Code:
ssh core@(uuid returned).node.sporestack.com

You'll need to upgrade to the latest sporestack pip: pip install sporestack --upgrade

You can also do:
Code:
sporestack spawn --ipxe_chain_url http://boot.netboot.xyz
, grab the kvm_url from
Code:
sporestack list
, point your browser at it, then boot any number of images from there.

Still kind of in progress, but it works from my testing.

I added a Hidden Service for SporeStack: http://spore64zke3ofvbp.onion/

With the latest sporestack pip installable, you can launch servers using the Hidden Service.

Code:
sporestack --endpoint http://spore64zke3ofvbp.onion spawn

I've also launched https://launch.sporestack.com/ since I last updated this thread.

really cool service! ^_^ VPN! wow and Minecraft Server Cheesy

u can add more "game" server? like enemy territory, unreal, etc?

Definitely possible. If there's a Linux or FreeBSD daemon for the game, you can write a launch script to make it happen.

You can see the current ones here and create a pull request to submit a new one: https://github.com/sporestack/node-profiles

Thank you all for your feedback!

SporeStack is now available over HTTPS: https://sporestack.com/

The client has changed from 'nodemeup' to 'sporestack'. 'sporestack spawn' is equivalent to 'nodemeup'.

Changes demonstrated here: https://asciinema.org/a/100459
