Thank you so much for this generous offer to the community. It's fantastic to see organizations like FOSSVPS.org, along with providers like OnlyServers and Alexhost, supporting the open-source ecosystem.
I would like to formally apply for one of the free VPS offerings. Here is my information as requested:
What open-source software do you plan to run?
My primary goal is to set up a small, personal FOSS development and monitoring environment. I plan to install:
Gitea: A lightweight, self-hosted Git service. I will use it to host my personal open-source projects and contribute to FOSS collaborations.
Uptime Kuma: A beautiful, self-hosted monitoring tool. I will use it to monitor the health and uptime of my personal websites and other FOSS services I run, ensuring they are reliably available.
I will also be running a Caddy webserver as a reverse proxy, which is another excellent open-source project.
How can FOSSVPS see you as an active and friendly community contributor?
I am a passionate advocate for open-source software and self-hosting. While I am still growing as a developer, I contribute in the following ways:
I actively maintain a GitHub profile where I share my own small projects and contribute to others through bug reports and occasional pull requests. You can see my activity here: https://github.com/yutian81
I enjoy helping others in technical communities and through my blog: https://blog.811520.xyz .
Which location would you prefer?
I would be very grateful for the Chișinău location provided by Alexhost. The generous disk space and dedicated IPv4 address are perfect for running a Git service.
Do you accept NAT IPv4 or do you require a dedicated IPv4?
A dedicated IPv4 is preferred for my use case (especially for Gitea), so the Chișinău server is my first choice.
Please include your ed25519 ssh public key in your request post.
I see that you prefer a dedicated IPv4. Right now, the only dedicated IPv4 which might be available is on the Los Angeles server. Would Los Angeles be okay for you?
Otherwise, in a few days, I expect to be adding a few new dedicated IPv4s to the Chisinau server. Maybe one of the new Chisinau IPv4s could be assigned to you, but I am not 100% sure.
Of course, you could have IPv6-only in Chisinau, if that meets your needs.
Please let me know your updated location preference.

You @ me last time and I replied to you, but you haven’t replied to me yet. I am sending you the complete content again. Please take a look and reply. Thank you very much.
I'd like to apply for a Chisinau - Alexhost VPS.
Specific requirements are as follows:
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04
CPU: 8 cores
Memory: 8 GB ECC RAM
Hard Drive: 200GB RAID10
IP Address: Dedicated IPv4
I plan to run a public SearXNG instance on this server to provide a privacy-focused search service to the community. Additionally, I will use this server for development, testing, and deployment of various open source projects, thereby deepening my knowledge of server operations and backend technologies. I've long been an active contributor to the open source community and hope to use this platform to further participate in and give back to the community, such as hosting open source project documentation and building a public development environment.
Preferred server location: Chisinau
IPv4: Dedicated IP required
My SSH public key is as follows:

I would like to apply for an Alexhost VPS located in Chisinau (Ubuntu 24.04, 4 virtual cores, 4GB ECC memory, 100GB RAID10, dedicated IPv4).
I plan to run Nextcloud + Gitea + Matrix to support open-source collaboration. It will be used for my work and study.

Hi @yutian81
Thank you for your request!
Your request is accepted.
I see that you prefer a dedicated IPv4. Right now, the only dedicated IPv4 which might be available is on the Los Angeles server. Would Los Angeles be okay for you?

Always best wishes!

@moyuxichen
我觉得你可能是下一个在基希讷乌购买纯 IPv6 VPS 的人。
你觉得这样还好吗？
再次感谢你的申请！
祝好！
汤姆
@moyuxichen
I think you might be next for an IPv6-only VPS in Chisinau.
Does that still seem okay to you?
Thank you again for your request!
Best!
Tom
@Not-Oles #214 OK, no problem, thank you again
@moyuxichen #215
Excellent! I am about to sleep now, but I will try to send you login information in the morning.
Best wishes!
@horrah
You sent me a Private Message requesting a change in your VPS.
That change which you requested has been accomplished.
I tried to reply to you by PM, but my reply seemed to fail to post. I do not know why.
Please try your VPS again. If you still have trouble, let me know, and I will try to help.
Best wishes always!
