OSGrid shuts down 12/31/2026 - How to save and self-host Vanilla 150MB

OSGrid announced closure after 19 years, after asset pollution from 5TB to 17TB. Final meeting Oct 18 11am hg.osgrid.org:80:Hurliman Plaza

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION:
save oar / save iar ONLY works if your region is CURRENTLY hosted on OSGrid and you have console access.
The vanilla install below creates YOUR OWN standalone at home, it is NOT OSGrid.

Full guide: https://visionary-wisp-4cfea6.netlify.app/

1) IF YOU ARE STILL ON OSGRID - SAVE NOW
As region owner on OSGrid, in console:
save oar my-region.oar
save iar First Last / * backup.iar mypass
-> files appear in bin/ to grab via FTP.

Don't do a full 30GB IAR (3 days for me!). Do per folder with quotes if spaces:
save iar First Last "/My Objects/My Builds" builds.iar mypass

If tenant without console on OSGrid: ask your region owner for a save oar of your parcel + Take your objects.

If you are NOT on OSGrid, skip this step - you already have your OAR/IAR.

2) INSTALL YOUR OWN STANDALONE VANILLA (150MB)
Official files 0.9.3.0 Nov 8 2024:
http://opensimulator.org/dist/opensim-0.9.3.0.zip
Need .NET 8 SDK (no more mono)
Windows: dotnet OpenSim.dll
Linux: ./opensim.sh
First launch: standalone yes, SQLite yes.
This creates a local grid, offline.

3) REIMPORT YOUR BACKUP INTO YOUR STANDALONE
Copy .oar into bin/ then:
change region MyRegion
load oar my-region.oar
load iar / * backup.iar mypass --merge

4) WHERE TO GO AFTER
Keep it as standalone at home on 4GB VPS, or if you want HG again: Wolf Territories, Kitely, Alternate Metaverse. You create a region via their panel then import your own OAR yourself.

Das Ende einer Ära: Warum OSgrid nach 19 Jahren den Betrieb einstellt

19 Jahre lang war OSgrid mehr als nur ein Server oder eine Plattform. Es war ein digitales Grenzland, das auf einer radikalen Grundidee beruhte: dass ein offenes, dezentrales Metaverse allein durch Gemeinschaft, Vertrauen und eine gemeinsame Architektur florieren kann. Heute muss der Vorstand von OSgrid mit tiefem Bedauern das Ende dieser Reise verkünden. Wir beenden das Projekt offiziell.

Dieses Grid wurde weder von der Zeit noch durch mangelndes Engagement des Teams besiegt, das das Projekt über das letzte Jahrzehnt hinweg vorangetrieben hat. Es wurde systematisch von einem böswilligen Akteur zerstört, der unsere Kernphilosophie gegen uns wandte. Indem er genau jene Freiheit ausnutzte, die uns ausmachte – unser offenes Code-Framework –, löste er einen IAR-Prozess aus, der unsere Architektur mit riesigen Mengen zufälliger, nicht deduplizierbarer Daten überflutete. Die technische Realität ist unumkehrbar. In weniger als einem Jahr wuchs unser über die Zeit gewachsener Asset-Server von 5 TB auf 17 TB an (wovon 80 % mittlerweile Datenmüll sind). Unsere Tabelle für Inventargegenstände explodierte von 3 GB auf lähmende 139 GB, wodurch routinemäßige Datenbank-Backups von 10 Minuten zu einer 12-stündigen Tortur wurden. Unsere Assets sind faktisch „vergiftet“.

Wir standen vor einer entscheidenden Wahl. Der einzige Weg, diese Angriffe zu stoppen und die Datenbank zu sichern, bestünde darin, unsere Infrastruktur zu schließen und zu einem geschlossenen, kommerziellen Modell überzugehen. Ein solcher Schritt würde das offene Ethos, auf dem dieses Grid ursprünglich aufgebaut wurde, vollständig zunichtemachen. Keiner unserer technischen Mitarbeiter ist bereit, ein kommerzialisiertes, abgeschottetes System („Walled Garden“) zu betreiben. Das ist schlichtweg nicht das, wofür sich irgendjemand hier engagiert hat. Das auf der letzten Sitzung vorgeschlagene Gebührensystem war zwar ein Schritt, um dieses Problem effizienter zu bekämpfen, doch um die Angriffe wirklich zu beenden, müssten wir das Grid dauerhaft abriegeln. Wir weigern uns, die Seele und das Modell von OSgrid zu opfern, nur um den Betrieb irgendwie aufrechtzuerhalten. Täglich elf Stunden im Schichtdienst damit zu verbringen, Angriffe abzuwehren und vergiftete Daten zu bereinigen, ist als ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit nicht mehr tragbar. Wir haben über die Jahrzehnte viele Arten von Angriffen überstanden und abgewehrt, doch die Entropie hat letztlich gesiegt. Als der Vorstand gestern diese endgültige Entscheidung traf, saßen bei Hurliman Menschen am Tisch, die zusammen auf über 80 Jahre Metaverse-Erfahrung zurückblicken. Wir sind nicht bloß Administratoren, die einen Server abschalten; wir sind Veteranen dieses Grids, die mit ansehen müssen, wie unsere eigene Geschichte – genau wie eure – in Flammen aufgeht. An unsere 153.000 registrierten Nutzer: Wir wissen genau, was diese Auslöschung bedeutet. Ihr habt euch hier nicht nur eingeloggt. Ihr habt eine Gemeinschaft aufgebaut. Fast zwei Jahrzehnte lang habt ihr programmiert, gestaltet und in diesen Regionen gelebt. Eine Datenbank zu löschen bedeutet mehr als nur das Entfernen von Dateien – es ist, als würde man digitale Zuhause mit Bulldozern dem Erdboden gleichmachen, tägliche Verbindungen kappen und ein absolut einzigartiges Kapitel der Internetgeschichte begraben. Die Schwere dieses Verlusts ist absolut. Wir gehen nicht leichten Herzens; wir tragen diesen Schlag gemeinsam mit euch an vorderster Front, denn die technische Realität dieser „vergifteten“ Architektur ließ uns keine andere Wahl.

Leider müssen wir euch mitteilen: Die Dienste von OSgrid werden am 31. Dezember 2026 um Mitternacht eingestellt.

Wir laden euch ein, ein letztes Mal mit uns zusammenzukommen. Am kommenden Sonntag, dem 18., findet um 11:00 Uhr am Hurliman Plaza eine letzte Mitgliederversammlung statt.

Neue Registrierungen sind nicht mehr möglich, und alle früheren Pläne wurden abgesagt und widerrufen. Auch wenn Auktionen in dieser Phase völlig deplatziert wirken mögen, wäre es noch schlimmer, die enorme Arbeit, die die Community in diese Bauwerke gesteckt hat, einfach zu verwerfen. Daher wurden unsere stillen Auktionen – anstelle eines Live-Events – ins Internet verlagert und sind nun auf Zeffy verfügbar: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/osgrid-incs-silent-a...


Damit werde ich wohl auch mein dasein hier in der digitalen Welt beenden. Es sind ja noch ein paar Wochen die ich genießen werde, aber zu einem Neuanfang habe ich keine richtige Lust mehr.
Vielleicht ergibt sich ja noch etwas, doch bei meinem Glück wohl eher nicht.
Schade das es so kommt, aber anderer seits verstehe ich es auch. Die Arbeit wird immer mehr und das alles in der Freizeit ist schon heftig.

Euer Andy

Hello, dear OSgrid friends!

With the expected closure of OSgrid at the end of December 2026, many of us are facing the challenge of finding a new virtual home. Over the past few days, several residents have already reached out to me looking for a place to settle in.

If you are one of them, you are very welcome at Cozy Sun Grid! We would love to help you find a new home for your avatar, meet new friends, and become part of a small, creative community where people know and appreciate one another.

There is room for you here — and perhaps this is the beginning of something wonderful!

Hello, dear homeless OSgrid residents!

At the end of December 2026, an era is expected to come to an end: OSgrid is likely to shut down. Over the past few days, many residents have already contacted me looking for a new place to call home.

There is still plenty of space available on Tartaria , and we expect to be able to offer around 10 more parcels. However, Tartaria will be moving to my own grid at the end of December.

Explore Cozy Sun Grid:
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=sun.cozycomforts.net:80...

Due to the limited number of available accounts, we can initially welcome only 7 new residents .

We would love to get to know you personally! So come over, explore our regions, and have a chat with us. We are not looking for anonymous tenants, but for people who want to become part of a small, creative, and lively community.

Learn more about us:
https://cozycomfortsgrids.wordpress.com

We already have several lovingly designed regions. Anula is located at the very top of the large map. It is still largely undeveloped, offering plenty of room for new ideas. Additional parcels will also become available there soon.

There is no need to rush. We still have more than two months until the end of December — enough time to bring the right people together and build something wonderful.

If you are looking for a new home for your avatar and value community, creativity, and a personal atmosphere, come and visit us! We look forward to meeting you.

Want your own region on Cozy Sun Grid?

We offer small regions for just €15 per quarter .

We work together to plan and fund the server, ensuring that we can build a stable virtual home for our community in the long run. Our fixed quarterly fee keeps costs transparent and helps us plan reliably.

If you would like to become part of our grid community and create your own little world, simply get in touch with me. We can discuss the possibilities together, and we look forward to welcoming you!

The Cozy Sun Grid Team

To those in OS Grid that have a rental here, when you migrate to a new grid. Send me a message in world of what land number you had and your os username. I will reset it so your new avi can re rent it. or you can refund it and then have the new avi rent it.

All of us at My Virtual beach are devastated of the news of OS Grid. I wish there was something I/we could do.

I cant believe after all these years one person could trash a whole grid like that.

When I first came to opensim OS grid was the first place i got stuff for my suitcase (inventory) I have met a lot of friends in OS Grid over the years. The time i have spent in LBSA PLaza will always be cherished and missed. OS Grid was my first for a lot of things.

I have learned so much for a lot of people in OS Grid.

Hugs to all affected by the shutdown. Where you may end up, you all know where to find me to keep in touch. I hope someone saves LBZA Plaza, i enjoy hanging out there. it was the central hub for all grids.

MONSTERS & CRYSTALS!

Well, it has been a hot minute since I pushed some mesh up into the stores!

We have some TRULY HORRIBLE MONSTERS new in the Original Stuffz & Junkz! Ready and willing to be in your scariest Halloween regions!

(Don't tell them they are horrible! They have lovely personalities!)

We also have some wonderful crystals in the Stuffz & Junkz Outdoors! Perfect for your crystal garden or your crystal caves!

I honestly believe this is a tragedy of heartbreaking proportions. 💔

The thought that someone could deliberately cause this kind of devastation to a grid that has been part of the OpenSim community for 19 years fills me with an anger and sadness that I can hardly put into words.

This hits far below the belt—not only for the residents of OSGrid, but especially for the administrators and developers who have worked so hard, year after year, to keep this grid alive through every challenge, setback, and technical difficulty they have faced. To the OSGrid admins and developers, I applaud you. I honor your dedication, your perseverance, and every effort you have made to keep this community going. You deserved better than to have your years of hard work put at risk in this way.

I am grieving over this. Yes, grieving! Because behind every avatar, every region, every creation, and every corner of a virtual world are real people who have invested their time, their energy, their creativity, and their hearts. Many have volunteered countless hours to help build and sustain a community they believed in. Their efforts matter. Their contributions matter. And the people behind them matter!

If the reported actions were deliberate, then I find it absolutely heartbreaking that someone's desire to cause harm could reach a point where the infrastructure supporting an entire community is put in jeopardy. Nineteen years of history, dedication, friendships, and shared experiences are not something to take lightly. OSGrid has been an important part of the OpenSim story, and the possibility of losing it is devastating.

What I struggle to understand is WHY.

Why do disagreements have to escalate into destruction? Why can't people walk away from a disagreement without trying to hurt others? Why spread rumors, turn people against one another, encourage griefing, or drag innocent members of a community into personal conflicts? And why would anyone ever think that damaging an entire grid is an acceptable response to a grievance?

If someone has a problem with another person, there are ways to address it. There are ways to disagree, to speak up, to walk away, and to seek resolution. But deliberately inflicting harm on an entire community—if that is what has happened—is not a solution. It is devastation that reaches far beyond the person one might be angry with.

And who ultimately pays the price? The innocent residents. The creators. The volunteers. The administrators and developers who have given so much of themselves. The people who simply wanted a place to build, explore, socialize, and enjoy the world they helped create.

THAT is what breaks my heart.

I am angry. I am deeply saddened. I am dismayed that something so destructive could threaten a community with such a long history. I cannot pretend that this doesn't hurt, because it does. And my heart goes out to everyone who has made OSGrid a part of their lives over these many years.

To the people of OSGrid, please know that your time, your creativity, your friendships, and your contributions have not been meaningless. Whatever happens next, those nineteen years cannot simply be erased from the lives of the people who shared them. The memories, the skills learned, the things created, and the friendships formed are part of your stories, and they still matter.

To the OSGrid administrators and developers: THANK YOU. Thank you for your years of service, your persistence, and your willingness to keep working through the difficult times. You have my sincere respect and heartfelt sympathy.

And to whoever may be responsible for deliberately causing this reported damage, I hope you understand the human cost of what your actions may have done. This is so much bigger than a personal disagreement or a desire for revenge. Real people are hurting. A community is grieving. Years of volunteer effort deserve respect, not destruction.

I pray that the truth will come to light, that those affected will find support and strength, and that the OpenSim community will respond to this painful moment with compassion, wisdom, and solidarity rather than more hostility.

**This is heartbreaking. This is devastating. And it is a reminder that behind every virtual world are real human beings whose hearts, efforts, and friendships deserve to be treated with care.** 💔

We are not totally sure what happened to osgrid but I reviewed the opensimulator code we use on Holoneon Grid and it seems plausible that inventory can be manipulated through the HG Inventory service. (it provides inventory service when you travel off grid to another grid). We closed some holes and added verbose logging in a separate log file.

ALSO, the opensimulator system allows HG Inventory access remotely, without authentication, 100% of the time. I changed the code on Holoneon Grid and added a gate that disables HG Inventory for your account if 1) you are NOT online or 2) you are online but on holoneon grid. makes it a bit better. The HG Inventory service should only be available if you travel off-grid.

Works in dev but lemme know if you have issues.

Rebooting the grid at 4:30 pm grid time today to install the updates. thanks!

What an unfortunate turn of events. I have many fond memories of OSgrid. One must wonder who would stand to gain from this act of turpitude against the TEST BED of Opensim. Yet another attack on the open nature of Opensim. Now I expect grids to start restricting oar and iar access...

This news is very saddening and the community is behind you.

Thank you OSgrid for your service!

✨ THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN CHAKRAS ✨

A Journey Beyond the Visible World

Deep within the ancient walls of a mysterious sanctuary, something extraordinary awaits...

A magnificent golden pendulum, suspended above a sacred circle, moves gracefully across the ground, revealing the mystical energy of the seven chakras.

Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown.

Each chakra represents a different energy, a different vibration, a different connection between body, mind and spirit.

This enchanting pendulum was personally created, built and scripted by me, bringing together ancient symbolism, sacred geometry and the magic of virtual creation.

Surrounded by magnificent stone columns, flickering candlelight and an atmosphere of timeless mystery, the pendulum becomes the heart of a truly fascinating experience.

✨ A LITTLE SECRET IS WAITING TO BE REVEALED... ✨

The region, Oasis of Veils, is currently not open to the public and will remain closed until further notice.

What lies beyond these ancient walls?

What secrets are waiting to be discovered?

For now, I shall keep that a surprise. Some mysteries are simply too beautiful to reveal before their time.

Interested in having this pendulum for your own "The Lost Temple"?

You are welcome to contact me at Solmara in Virtual World Zone grid, and ask for Nyla Veyne.

Created with imagination, passion and a little touch of magic.

✨ Stay curious, the best is yet to come. ✨

Vier Frauen. Vier Charaktere. Eine Frage des Geschmacks.

Stil ist, wenn man auffällt, ohne laut werden zu müssen. Klasse ist, wenn man sich selbst nicht allzu ernst nimmt. Und ein gewisses Maß an Extravaganz? Nun, das ist ohnehin eine Frage der Persönlichkeit.

Bei Reborn + Waifu treffen starke Auftritte auf individuelle Ausstrahlung, ein Hauch Glamour auf eine gesunde Portion Selbstbewusstsein – und die Erkenntnis, dass Perfektion manchmal einfach überschätzt wird.

Wir mögen es stilvoll, ein wenig extravagant und durchaus mit Ecken, Kanten und Kurven. Schließlich wäre eine Welt, in der alle gleich aussehen, ungefähr so aufregend wie ein Empfang ohne Champagner.

Reborn + Waifu – für alle, die das Besondere mögen und über das Gewöhnliche gern ein wenig schmunzeln. ✨

**„Deine Umarmung bleibt“** 🖤

Du bist gegangen, und die Welt steht still,
weil mein Herz dich nicht gehen lassen will.
Die Stille schreit, die Sehnsucht brennt,
ein Schmerz, den nur die Liebe kennt.

Ich suche dich in jedem Augenblick,
doch keine Träne bringt dich mir zurück.
Und wenn ich nachts vor Kummer weine,
wünsch ich mir nur die Arme, deine.

Du fehlst mir mehr, als Worte sagen,
wie soll mein Herz den Abschied tragen?
Und gäbe es einen Weg zu dir,
ich liefe ihn sofort – zurück zu dir.

**Für immer dein. Für immer mein.
Für immer werden wir verbunden sein.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🖤 **“Your Embrace Remains”** 🖤

You have gone, and time stands still,
My heart can't let you go, and never will.
The silence screams, the longing burns,
A pain that only true love learns.

I search for you in every passing day,
But no amount of tears can bring you back my way.
And when at night I cry in pain,
I long to feel your arms again.

I miss you more than words can ever say,
How can my heart endure you being away?
And if there were a path that led to you,
I'd walk it in a heartbeat, straight to you.

**Forever yours. Forever mine.
Forever our two souls entwine.
