Introducing ProxCP - A Control Panel for Proxmox VPS Hosting
This seems to be the season for control panels so lets throw in another one...
[OVERVIEW]
ProxCP is a full-featured extension to Proxmox VE for VPS hosting providers. Proxmox is well-known and very reliable but it is missing many features and convenience factors that would make it ideal for commercial use. ProxCP aims to solve this by providing a customer web interface that is easy to use with full billing integration. LXC, KVM, and KVM Cloud accounts are all supported.
[HISTORY]
ProxCP is a generalized version of vnCP - VaporNode's in-house control panel. vnCP has gone through multiple development iterations and has been in use internally since 2015. We decided to add Administrator features and a whole bunch of other modifications to make it available to anyone because Proxmox should be considered more often. Current commercial VPS hosting solutions based on Proxmox seemed lacking so here we are.
[FEATURES]
ProxCP handles all core functionality of Proxmox plus some extra bits that our customers have requested over the years. It also has Administrator features that make it easier to coordinate and operate a business using Proxmox. Screenshots and a full list of features are available here: https://proxcp.com/tour
[FREE STUFF HERE]
ProxCP is feature-complete and offers billing integration with WHMCS and Hostbill. We have concluded internal tests but we know how the system works so we can't be so thorough. The FREE ProxCP Beta is now available for those who'd like to help with this.
[BETA DETAILS]
The length of the beta period is undetermined. It will last at least 30 days but probably longer.
What you need:
At least 1 Proxmox node
Web server (PHP, MySQL)
Daemon server (NodeJS; web and daemon server can be the same)
Beta limitations:
Limited to 3 Proxmox nodes maximum
Billing integrations are not included
What do you get for helping:
If you are a proactive tester and provide us with at least 3 pieces of feedback (positive or negative), you will receive a FREE ProxCP Basic license for 6 months upon product release. Tell us what to add, what to fix, what looks good, how to improve documentation...whatever. We want to hear what you have to say.
BETA SIGNUP: https://my.proxcp.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=2
Beta orders are manually reviewed/processed. There might be a delay in activation to keep things under control. You will receive an email when the order is activated. There is no hard limit on the amount of beta participants.
ProxCP source is protected and there are no plans to release an open source version.
Comments
Awesome! Congrats!
I'm not a provider but as a I'd like to give feedback as an end user. I've been using vnCP for a while and I've seen UX stuff that could be better. So if someone wants to give me access to their installation, great.
Is this the same version as the live vnCP in Vapornode?
@imok No, the vnCP version is not updated yet. Changes made for ProxCP will be moved back into vnCP after the beta period.
@vapornode I've seen some providers using Blesta, could be good if you support that billing system too.
Proxmox is Open Source. Do you use open source code in ProxCP at any point?
ProxCP does not modify Proxmox source at all. ProxCP utilizes the API to work with Proxmox. There are a couple PHP libraries included that are open source - those remain unencoded.
He must be using the Proxmox API and not the Proxmox source code itself.
EDIT: Meh, late.
Any documentation for migration paths from other CP's or is this one of those situations where by its only for hosts already using proxmox and new hosts to the market?
@AnthonySmith We've looked at migration paths from SolusVM and Virtualizor. For containers/virtual machines, migrations can be done fairly easily for KVM and OpenVZ to LXC conversions are possible.
The roadblock would be automatic data migration. I don't have access to a real SolusVM/Virtualizor database schema to see what's going on there. If somebody wants to provide it then it's something we could work on.
Ok, well its only a $2.50 license so I guess if it ever becomes part of your business plan to offer this to existing hosts its simple enough, the VM migration is not so much of a concern, that is fairly simple, it is making sure everything is still linked up properly within the various billing platforms that is the killer.
Hope it's will cheap,and simple.
@cociu
good job.
Excelent : it looks very good
thanks , i have take a look , the poroblem i need a change asap ... so finnaly i will swich to modulesgarden , any way i am opened

*** ignore my comment stupid company proxy ***
Fortinet thinking you are looking for tours for vacations
Classic.
Sounds like someone's set a Fortigate to SSL inspect/MITM mode.
Do the Proxmox nodes need to be all in a single cluster or they can be many stand-alone?
@Shazan Proxmox clusters are not supported. All the nodes do need to be stand-alone
Here is a quick demonstration of the WHMCS module, user interface overview, and an example of KVM creation from a template.

Looks good. Any ETA for the launch? What about its price?
Pricing is already out there: https://proxcp.com/licenses
It should be available Q1 2019.
Thank you. Is there any way to change the default theme, editing it? Would be nice to integrate WHMCS billing and support integrated in the panel directly using WHMCS API.
Btw, is the source code encrypted?
Is there any way to get access to it sooner? I have a pretty large portfolio of clients that may be interested. As we may be as well.
@MikePT Currently just the colors and images can be edited. The source is protected with ioncube. That said, WHMCS integration is already there (optionally) to show unpaid invoices and view/open/reply-to tickets.
We aren't ready to release it any earlier. The beta feedback is important to finalize the paid product.
Maybe some lifetime offer?
This is something being considered.
Hmhm. Have you encoded the template files too? Why not do it like WHMCS and allow people to customize it freely?
I see potential on this, seriously, would like to see more features there.
Btw try to add an option to load a custom iso via http/ftp.
@MikePT Initial release doesn't have templates at all. But I agree there should be and encoding should be done separately. I don't much like Smarty templates though. Either way, some solution for that will be implemented later.
Great. Thank you!
