Has anyone tried OpenNode Virtualization+Management?
I was researching for a good SolusVM alternative and found this thing http://www.opennodecloud.com/
There are no screenshots, videos or demo.
Has anyone tried it? What do you think?
Comments
Looks nice, but reminds me of proxmox
Take a look also at http://archipelproject.org , very nice UI
archipelproject is more of a personal/private virtualization solution. But as I understand OpenNode is suited for hosting just like SolusVM.
But I don't like the poor documentation.
Kimsufi dedi owners how about testing it out and posting a video and screenshots?
Cloudmin GPL is excellent and might even be suitable for production and customers/end users. I believe that @hostdog created a WHMCS to Cloudmin KVM module too:

I've used Cloudmin for my personal stuff and it is great. Solid and comparable to Proxmox.
If you actually want to testdrive a cloud solution then you could try out Openstack with DevStack on a single pyhsical server (or Vmware/KVM/VirtualBox VM but it'd be QEMU only).
@twain Is there a way to cluster services or sync data on the GPL version?
@peppr - I'm not sure, but likely not since the GPL version is intended for a single server only. However you might be able to hack something out yourself w/GlusterFS or similar, but probably would only work as a manual failover. Cloudmin is supported on CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu (others too but these are the best supported)
You might however look into oVirt (upstream to RHEV), which has support for GlusterFS built-in. I messed around with it for a few days but was never able to get the GlusterFS to work properly with oVirt though. That was about 3-4 months ago though.
I am currently looking into the following alternatives

Cloudmin is actually nice, and they offer 50% off as well, is there anyone who want to offer this at LEB rates?
http://www.virtualmin.com/cloudmin-offer
@hostdog uses Cloudmin however I believe they use the GPL version. The pricing of the pro version may make it prohibitive for LEB pricing.
My experience with open node is as follows.
You think you're getting this.
You'll more than likely only get this interface working.
Add in that it doesn't have a large following, don't expect to find a solution to any random problem you have. I'd stay away from it for production.
@jarland I had similar issues when I tested it maybe 2 years ago. I dont think I ever managed to get the webui vm portion installed correctly. Either that or it would never accept my browser to login, even when I installed the client cert that I think I remember it requiring. Overall a tiresome and thoroughly unenjoyable experience. I remember thinking, why the hell am I mucking with this when proxmox already works great.
But proxmox doesn't run on ec2. Has anyone got the opennode console running?
Necropost
Humm, last time I tried to run opennode it was so bugged that I needed to setup the VMs by hand. I think that virsh KVM admin is pretty straight forward, despite of being command line.
When I have the chance and could afford a bigger server I am going to setup one LVM and install BlueVM's Feathur.
Wow Feathur looks amazing and even has a WHMCS module. Thanks for the info shrubbles!
It requires a Logical Volume. And the server(where the panel/Web GUI will be placed) install and node install are separate, if I could call them this way.
