What about another container technology like OpenVZ or LXE?

I would assume no on anything that requires kernel-level support for various items. I was pretty much told to move to a dedicated host if I wanted to use docker. I was proud of myself... I almost wrote back "If I wanted to maintain my own server, I would just buy one myself!"... Oh well.
Their system performs quite well. I'm running a web-based IDE on it called Codiad (http://codiad.com/) for developing some personal projects. It powers right through it with no problems at all.
I'll throw some more hefty stuff at it. I'm planning to install Zabbix and use them to monitor my ZeroTier infrastructure.

See update 4 in the OP. The short, short version is... If you just want a VPS, these guys may fit the bill nicely. I had some connectivity issues with them this morning as I am trying to transfer some of my stuff out.

@dafyre - Check out Vultr Local Storage (VLS)
-
is that a new feature that they just added?
-
-
Oh, that is just their normal storage servers
We use those already. -
We've been using Vultr primarily for those server types for maybe six months now. That's where we deploy ownCloud. Works great.
-
@scottalanmiller Most people miss them.

My coughC@Ccough server has been working rather well as of late...

You might be the only one still on it.

Well, I paid good money for it.... so until that server just falls off the face of the planet... or somebody runs around cutting fiber lines again, I'm going to run it into the ground, lol.

Every 15 minutes... to my Amazon Cloud Drive, ha ha ha.
-
What tool do you use to upload to Amazon Cloud Drive automatically?
-
It's a linux script. It's called acdcli ... https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli
That tool mounts Amazon Cloud Drive (acd)... You can mount it as a folder (acdcli mount /path/to/mountpoint) and you can upload files (acdcli upload sourceFolder/* /FolderOnAmazon)...
I figured out a way to use it to play all of my Plex movies on my C@C Host while actually playing them form the Amazon Cloud (or local storage on my C@C host)... It's an interesting setup.
-
@dafyre hey, do you think that that would work on a ReadyNAS NAS appliance?
-
@scottalanmiller Uploading from your ReadyNAS to ACD?
No reason why it shouldn't. The acdcli script is Python based.
Edit: I dont' know enough about ReadyNAS to know if it would work or not.
-
ReadyNAS is a Debian-based Linux server. I have root access.
-
@scottalanmiller If you have a Linux VM on the same network as your ReadyNAS...
Mount folder to ~/ReadyNAS
Make a folder on ACD and call it ReadyNAS.
acdcli upload ~/ReadyNAS/* /ReadyNAS
(first Parameter is the location of the local files, seocnd parameter is the Path to where you want to put the files on ReadyNAS).
If you are concerned about Amazon being able to access your files and such, you can also use encfs to encrypt the files folders before they get uploaded. (I'll do a writeup on this this weekend if I have time).
