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.

**FLUFFY AIR™ — Powered by Flying Brick™**

Welcome to FLUFFY AIR™, the official airline of the Moushouverse!

What started as a flying brick has become a living airport in the Open Grid — with autonomous aircraft, helicopters, a control tower, a runway and our very own mascot, Lucky the fluffy airport cat.

Our planes take off, fly their routes, return home and land automatically. Sometimes gracefully. Sometimes like a brick with ambition.

No passengers were harmed during development. Boo is still checking the statistics.

Built with imagination, scripting, experiments and a healthy disregard for the words "That's impossible."

**FLUFFY AIR™**
Where imagination gets its wings.

Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!
Apologies for the inconvenience!
