But here the first inconsistency awaited me - when I first booted CHR, the file system expanded automatically and took up the entire disk, but this did not happen for me and I had to be content with 128 MB.

Download the image to the hosting, unpack it, transfer the file system to read-only, upload the image to disk via dd. I did everything as in the presentation, everything started up. Having received the presentation, he rushed into the battle with a cold head - completely breaking his droplet. It was useful to watch the archive of performances, but it was not there yet and I wrote a letter to Dmitry with a request to share the slides.

Having returned from MUM, I was in anticipation, my hands itched to gash Mikrotik on Digital Ocean (at that moment, there was Ubuntu Server, which served as a VPN server). Only the technical side of the issue will be considered and a couple of problems will be solved.

Unlike Dmitry’s report, this article will not address the issues of choosing a hosting and its prices (in an effort to muddle up a cloud router cheaper), and settings of the received device. The report of Dmitry Pichulin deemru at the last MUM in Moscow on September 30 was taken as the basis. I must say right away that since in the course of all the experiments I’m already tired of demolishing and reconfiguring the droplet in DO, I’ll run the example in VMware ESXi, but it won’t affect the final result, the commands will all be the same, in principle, this applies to any cloud-based VPS hosting where we have SSH access.
