Linode support

[ideologysec]

Linode support would be great for Algo - they're competitively priced, and often run promotions such that you could run an Algo server for several months free of charge.

Please add!

There's even a Linode Ansible module for their v4 API!

👍 It would be convenient to have Linode supported as a cloud provider.

I've been running Algo on Linode nano instances for about a year and they work just fine. I setup new Linodes using their Ubuntu 18.04 image, via a StackScript to do some hardening (disable root via SSH etc.) and then install Algo manually. Takes a little extra effort, compared to AWS and friends.

WIP, this feature requires Ansible 2.8. I'll issue a PR after #1549 merged.
