And probably bandwidth restriction (like max. 50GB per hour) on hourly instances.
@Nick_A you don't want people to pay $0.1 and use 1TB bandwidth, right?
I have never looked at Feathur because I always thought it was a commercial product. I will look at it and see how I can use and improve it. I'd rather contribute than reinvent the wheel :-) Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Everything can be fixed ;-)
We use it on a daily basis and while yes bandwidth tracking could use some improvement the other issues you mentioned don't exist (or if they do we haven't noticed them and they haven't been reported on the issue tracker...).
We have licenses for support for sale (at $3.50 /server/mo), but they're there to support the development of the project... not make me a profit. You are in no way obligated to buy a license and there are no technical limitations for not buying one. Also even if you buy just one server license your whole system will come up as having a paid license (even if you have 500 nodes).
EG: Support it as much or as little as you like...
Sounds awesome :-) I will definitively look at it.
Didn't know that. I thought providers need one license for each node/master.
We 'recommend it' because it helps pay for the project (believe it or not it costs real money to develop free software), but the system will report you're licensed even at $3.50 per month with 500 nodes. It allows providers to contribute what they feel is fair for the software...
If they want to improve their services should probably get off SolusVM and do real HA cloud
It's going to be OpenStack.
Replacing SolusVM is the entire point of this thread...
This is what happens when you drink and post.
Not really? replacing a panel doesn't mean replacing the cloud orchestration technology. No where was it made explicit that's what's happening.
Just null solus and call it your own custom panel!
Lmao...
...and one more time, lol...
sorry, but it's not worth stealing...
I guess you missed the joke.
Nick's WHT post clearly said he wants "a replacement for SolusVM" that "run[s] on OpenStack"
If that's not explicitly clear I don't know what is.
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
How long are these smaller mostly one man band providers going to survive, may be a waste of time investing. best thingf may be to sell up and cash in unless there's nothing else you can do.
What is this in reference to?
Just stop recognizing his existence and he'll go away.
All one/two man shows who are at risk of folding if they get sick/hit by a bus ;-)/cash flow problems. I don't think many will survive.
Same with the fast food outlets we have here. I know people who were making really good money 10 years ago, now most of them are saying it is no longer worth it as the prices of fuel, goods has increased so much that they are now just working for a wage. They just rather carry on than get a job working for some diuchebag even though they are making very little 'profit', they just don't want to work for someone even though they could make the same money.
Are you referring to a specific provider? I don't see what that has to do with anything in this thread.
@asterisk14 is just being ignorant bas**rd that thinks any company that isn't owned by some huge money making corporation is going to fail.
Considering RamNode has been around since 2012 and they've been in the top 3 providers list on LET 5 times in the last 2 years, I don't think their going anywhere soon.
Can you PM me what that is?
Added to many ****************
Oh, I thought we don't censor bastard.
Who create that one?
BlueVM
And you missed the point. Doesn't really matter though.
I'm not replying to it officially, but you didn't get the reference.
I did, and I wasn't even joking: it's not worth stealing.
@Nick_A - you may or may not know, but @ModulesGarden is coming out with an OpenStack module. They also started offering their source code for sale, though IMHO it's overpriced for the SolusVM WHMCS module because at this point interested customers will pay for the source just to fix the few bugs that are so annoying. Anyway, @ModulesGarden makes pretty decent products, so that's not really a knock against them, more like a suggestion: maybe you should open source the SolusVM WHMCS module for paying customers (just the base module, not the cloud), and at least I, would be more than willing to contribute any changes back.
Now to the OpenStack module: maybe it's worth waiting for and once it's released just buy a license for the open source version so that you can make any needed changes immediately. You know that customers prefer one panel over two or more, so if customers can work with it from within WHMCS then that's a plus. Just my two cents on how you could accomplish you goal with a smaller investment in a shorter time frame.
