So, gave up with ovh.

Someone used another vps for testing ?

Just for fun Iā€™ve tried to install NS on Amazon EC2 and Iā€™ve found it pretty easy to do.

I donā€™t know if it is of your iinterest, but Iā€™ve write a simple How to of the steps here

If someone can give me SSH access to a running clean machine, I can give it a try!

I just successfully installed NethServer on OVH, but there are some problems accessing centos-base and centos-updates from NethServer.repo.

OVH machines resolve host names with IPv6 and CentOS mirror report different answers if queried with IPv4 or IPv6.

To install NethServer on OVH:

yum localinstall -y http://mirror.nethserver.org/nethserver/nethserver-release-6.6.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=nethserver-base,nethserver-updates,base,updates install @nethserver-iso
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event system-init
eorepo nethserver-base nethserver-updates base updates

Also, at the end of the system-init event the machine was stuck and required a reboot.

At the end, I would suggest Digital Ocean over OVS at least for NethServer installations.

Thanks to @enrilor for the collaboration :smile:

P.S. If someone needs more technical details about the problem, please feel free to ask.

I tried few times to install NethServer over CentOS 6.6 x64
with the OVH Kernel, with the distribution Kernel,ā€¦
everytime it finishing by an unrebootable server (I think I have a kernel panic)

I also figure this : /sbin/e-smith/signal-event system-init eorepo nethserver-base nethserver-updates base updates
was one line :wink:

And finaly I figured, how to install CentOS from scratch with those instructions
http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?4991-CentOS-Stock-Install-Kimsufi-OVH-VNC-Method
and now NethServer working well on my OVH :smiley_cat:

BTW: In what DigitalOcean is different, I means why Itā€™s easier with them ?
