While you should see a list of avaliable snapshots on the capsul detail page, restoring to a snapshot is still a manual effort on our part. Technically we create a new clone of the capsul from the existing snapshot. Contact support if you need to restore to a snapshot.
2024-12-29: NixOS 24.11 Image
Finally updated our NixOS image! Thanks to symys for help with this!
2024-12-09: Add Bot Deterrent
We had some issues with web form spam bots hurting our email server's reputation by sending login requests to people who did not ask for them.
The Capsul login/registration page will now attempt to calculate a small Proof of Work using the scrypt hash function.
This is 100% optional, not required to log in.
This uses WebWorkers and WebAssembly, so it will only work if your browser has those features turned on.
If you disabled JavaScript on your browser or otherwise submit the form without the PoW:
If you've logged in before, it will let you pass.
If you're creating a new account, the system will ask you to send us an email. Once we recieve an email from the address you were trying to log in from, you will be allowed to proceed.
2024-12-06: Email deliverability now surfaces in the UI
If your email server rejects emails from us for some reason, you should see an error message when trying to log in.
2024-02-11: EPIC emergency server migration 🤯
Baikal (our old server) could no longer handle the load, was constantly crashing
Rathouse (our NEW server) was already racked up and ready to go
We wanted to wait until we could get Virtual Machine disk snapshots working on the new system before we migrated... but real life had other plans for us
We no longer have automatic backups. Sorry. We are working on it.
On the bright side, the new server is faster, has much more reliable disks,
and they are configured in a way that should give you better performance.
Capsul was fully down for about a day and a half.
2022-07-18: Add NixOS support
2022-02-11: Added the why-cant-i-add-ssh-key-to-existing-capsul page
2022-02-09: Introduced a distinction between "short term" and "long term" capsuls
You can now create a capsul even if your account doesn't have the funds required to keep it running for a month
Short term capsuls will be deleted without warning as soon as your account reaches $0
As always, you will recieve multiple warning emails as your account runs out of funds before any long term capsuls will be deleted
2021-12-17: OpenBSD, Debian, Alpine Linux, Ubuntu and Arch Linux images were updated to the latest version
NEW! Rocky Linux 8 image is avaliable to launch
2021-12-16: The BTCPay server is ressurected with a brand new motherboard, and all blockchains are synced!
2021-12-16: Baikal host operating system upgraded from Debian 10 (buster) to Debian 11 (bullseye)
This updated QEMU to the point where the virtio-blk storage driver supports trim/discard operations,
which should save us disk space while improving capsul storage performance
2021-12-10: On premesis Baikal maintenance at CyberWurx in Atlanta, Georgia
