myVesta

Hi dpeca,

I've very recently discovered myvesta and I'm thrilled to test it out on my new node.

However, I'd like a suggestion on my disk setup.

My node has a 480gb ssd and a big storage in raid5 (11 disks, 7200rpm HDDs)
my current plan is to install debian10 on the ssd while the raid5 is mounted at /home

Problem is, I'm afraid that I won't be using my ssd at all for any of the sites hosted on the server.
would you recommend me doing something else?

How much space actually you need?
Maybe to install everything on SSD, and symlinking /backup to HDD?
Later you can also move other static folders (like /home/user/mail/ and /home/web/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/) to HDD, and just symlinking it...
I'm doing it for shared hosting servers.

Is it possible to have some domains on /home directory and some on /var/www or some other dir not on /home?

It's a big storage node that will actively read static files to serve via HTTPS.
But since I have spare CPU and bandwidth, I'm thinking about hosting some small WordPress sites on the same server.

Unfortunately, no.
But with symlinking you can symlink even whole account, for example /home/user/ -> /hdd/user/
Or as I already suggested, only specific folders like /home/user/mail/ or /home/web/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/

I see, I'll do that.
Thank you.

hey dpeca,

I need another suggestion here

I did the symlink setup but my php application now shows this
so I did chown and chmod 777 to the symlink but it still seems to be the same case.

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 21 Jun 3 12:46 folder-> /hdd/folder/

maybe open_basedir restrictions?
you can alter open_basedir this way - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=54
add /hdd/user/ in open_basedir

other thing you can do is:

I added the /hdd/folder to open_basedir but it didn't help.

and find /home/user/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} + gave an error for /conf folder
which is okay I suppose

Little update.

All the symlinks are showing

"absolute path is invalid" error when I try to make a ftp account pointing to the symlink

final update: sorry for the spam.

I got around it by mounting my hdd raid array to /home/<user> instead

Not using symlinks anymore. They weren't working
