Global SolusVM Panel

Jake4Jake4 Member
edited June 2018 in General

Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours creating a Global SolusVM Panel that I can use to manage my Idle collection of VPSes (from a wide range of hosts). Would any of you use it if I release this publicly so you can use it or play around with it?

    I'll prob stick it on a site instead where you can enter your details (passwords encrypted) rather than on github as then you don't have to host it.

    Some people trust self-hosted more though.

    That's not a good idea for a hosting forum users.

    Bad idea. Pretty much everyone would like to self-host it

    Bad idea with storing the account or with the VPS's API?

    This idea has been trialed before about a panel hosted by the developers. Nobody here wants that. Self-hosted is what people want.

    Give API creds to a random stranger...what could go wrong?

    It can only stop, start and get the hardware information.

    Would people really be that interested in seeing and debugging my messy PHP code?

    @Jake4 If it's messy and buggy that's the joy of not having closed source, people can offer improvements. If it's messy and buggy then it's probably a security risk.

    The security is fine, it's just that it's nowhere near stable enough to release as the solus API takes like 3 seconds to respond so the loading speed isn't that great while displaying information about the VPS.

  • imokimok Member

    This made me read the SolusVM API.

    What the fuck is wrong with those developers?

    There tryna stop hosts and us from ripping the main features from the API and making a panel :c

    GUI is great, is this on top of SolusVM? What could be a production use-case of this?

    It uses there client API so you can add all your NAT VPSes, Idle VPSes or VPSes from rando hosts and access it through one main panel.

  • I think it looks great, could it be adapted to work with other API such as OVH without too much work?

    @raindog308 said:

    As a bonus, there would be a WHMCS plugin where users could click a button and receive a benchmark mailed to them.

    ^ You should add the above feature if possible, I would quite happily pay $7 for that :-)

    If you offer it as a hosted solution you will eventually have to start charging and people will have to pay to manage their IDLE VPS.

    I made something just like this a couple of years ago, just add the request to a queue and process requests every minute or so (in the background via cron or similar) - then the user doesn't see the loading time.

    I can share what I had with you if you'd like.

    We will know that only if you open source the code.

    If Each Server or Servers can be separately placed under different logins. This could be very ideal for VPS resellers as well.

    The only problem with that is that SolusVM doesn't allow you to reinstall the OS over the client API.

    I guess something similar already exist: https://github.com/seikan/SolusVMController (but abit older ).
