Since I moved server, I left behind my #Devuan install to restart from a #Debian 11 offered by my hosting provider which I immediately upgraded to Debian 12. This means I am back to #systemd land, and I'm already annoyed with it.
See, service mariadb [action]
calls mariadb-admin
that requires password-less root access (??) to localhost to do anything, which I don't allow for obvious security reasons.
On the other hand, systemctl [action] mariadb.service
doesn't rely on mariadb-admin
, but there's no graceful reload available either. 🤷♂️
I already miss /etc/init.d/mysqld [action]
.
It looks like I'm going to have to move server, and the offer I got isn't available anymore at my current hosting provider, which means I'm going to have to pay more or get less.
I currently have: for 20 euros/month:
- CPU: Intel® C2750 (Avoton)
- Memory: 8 GB
- Disk: 1 TB
- Price: 20€/month
The currently available offers that are close to this are:
Start-1-L
- CPU: Intel® Xeon E3 1220v2
- Memory: 16 GB
- Disk: 2 x 1 TB
- Price: 21€/month
or
Pro-4-S
- CPU: Intel® Xeon E3 1245v5
- Memory: 32 GB
- Disk: 3 x 250 GB SSD
- Price: 23€/month
My main question is: is the C2750 so much better thanks to its 8 threads than the Xeon E3? I only use my server as a web server, so isn't the thread count more important?
Would the unavailability of the C2750 be a good enough reason to move provider?

Uh-oh...
