Recently, in another post about “how corporate editors seized Habr and don’t let free authors breathe at all”, we were put in the minus that our blog contains too many materials NOT about the company’s services, its activities, and so on in the same vein. We’ll write about mazes in games, then how to glue girls on Tinder. We listened to the opinion of the audience.
Previously, we talked about our ready-made images for virtual servers separately, there was no structure. In this article, we decided to collect all 11 images collected in our marketplace and tell a little about them to make it easier to understand. By the way, did you know that we have an image for Minecraft? Details under the cut!
1. Docker CE - Ubuntu 18.04
Let's start with the already classic blue whale with containers on its back. Docker provides virtualization at the operating system level. The software and its dependencies are combined into standardized blocks that run in isolation from each other, but on the same core of the operating system.
And why is it all? The answer is simple - containers are more productive than nested virtualization, but they allow you to quickly deploy a runtime environment with the necessary system utilities and libraries.
You can learn more about Docker and how to use it. in our series of articles about this technology.
Almost forgot, we have Docker on Ubuntu 18.04,…
2. WordPress - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
… just like WordPress. We are sure that many “site owners” work with this particular system, but for beginners, let us remind you: WordPress is a system for creating sites on the Internet and managing them.
The most popular CMS in the world. Over 60 million people choose WordPress for their websites and blogs. By the way, perhaps it is because of this that our article “got so many views.
3. ZeroTier - Debian 10.2
ZeroTier is a distributed network hypervisor built on top of a cryptographically secure global peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It is an analogue of a corporate SDN switch for organizing virtual networks with the ability to connect almost any application or device.
- Supports all modern browsers, including mobile versions;
- There is no limit on the number of virtual networks and connected nodes;
- It is possible to add additional administrators.
And all this on Debian 10.2. Read our in 2 parts if you are interested in this technology.
4.OTRS - CentOS 7
Who doesn't use ticket systems these days? And you know that it is very convenient, not even in the field of development and programming. And if the system is also free + convenient, then we don’t understand why you still don’t have it.
OTRS is one of the most popular ticket systems used by large companies to support users. OTRS Community Edition is a free version under the GNU license. This version has rich functionality and covers almost all tasks of customer information support:
- Supports all modern browsers, including mobile versions.
- High performance and the ability to add an unlimited number of employees.
- Built-in system of rights differentiation.
- Possibility of distribution of applications in queues and setting up automatic responses.
- Answer templates.
- Ability to connect a third-party service via API.
By the way, we have already talked about how one free OTRS did three paid systems. Read about it .
5. VEPP - CentOS 7
Let's say right away that VEPP is a control panel for WordPress sites, which also knows how to regularly create backups, scan the site for viruses and monitor its availability.
The main idea is that the user server works without any panel components. The user grants root access on the panel site to his server. The panel connects to the server via SSH and makes the necessary settings, as well as installs the necessary software. The panel allows you to deploy WordPress in a few clicks, link a domain and install an SSL certificate.
6. LAMP - CentOS 7
Do you know what these 4 letters stand for? Okay, even if you don't know, we'll give you a hint: Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP. Yes, you heard it right, this template allows you to get a stable build of Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP without any hassle.
7. Windows Server 2019 Core
So we got to Windows Server. And on it we have as many as 5 images. Let's start simple - Windows Server Core 2019 or the compact "server" installation option for Windows Server 2019.
Windows Server Core 2019 can host any server software: Web servers, mail servers, SMB or FTP file storages, database management systems. At the same time, applications will receive more processor time and RAM than when they are deployed on a server of a similar configuration with Windows Server 2019. This happens because some parts of the desktop are missing in the Core version, such as support for sound, printers and scanners, services for biometrics and many other components of operating systems designed for home computers.
And of course, we have a lot of interesting content about Windows Server 2019:
- (this is about Core);
- (this is about the usual WS);
- (this is about the usual WS).
8. VPN L2TP - Windows Server 2019
Oh, this image is no longer needed, Telegram has been unblocked, sorry. Okay, we're kidding.
L2TP VPN is a Windows Server 2019 template with RRAS and NPS roles preinstalled. Allows you to connect to the server via VPN immediately after installing the template. Completely changes the IP address of the connected person. Server management is also available via RDP, as in other standard Windows Server templates.
By the way, we have on how to create your own L2TP VPN. But we do not understand why you need it if there is this image that works out of the box.
9. SQL Express - Server Core
MS SQL EXPRESS is a free edition of Microsoft SQL Server. The maximum database size in this edition is limited to 10 gigabytes. The assembly includes MS SQL Server 2019 preconfigured for remote management and SQL Server Management Studio 18.4 with the ability to manage the database through a graphical interface.
10. MetaTrader 5 - Server Core
Let's move on to the two most unusual looks in our marketplace. The first is MT5, a popular Forex trading platform. The assembly includes the trading terminal itself and Windows Server Core.
Key advantages of the editorial office:
- The number of reboots is minimized to about zero;

By the way, we recently , why an uninterrupted round-the-clock connection to a broker is important for a trader, and told how a virtual dedicated server is generally convenient for making money on the exchange.
