Free control panel (alternative to SolusVM)

PacketVM

Does anybody know of a free control panel that supports OpenVZ and is like SolusVM in the way that you can have a 'master' and a 'slave'?

The master being a VPS hosting the control panel, and the slave being the server hosting the VPS's

Thanks

Any others? I hate the interface of that one :P

True, true. I will possibly use it anyway due to that it does everything I need. Anyway, are there any others or is that the only one?

It's not for "production" as such, so that's why I'm not paying for one.

If its not production maybe consider handling everything over command line to save some resources?

jar

If it's not for production why bother with the master/slave relationship? Unless you're using multiple servers I'd just do proxmox.

Was going to install the control panel on a VPS, and do it that way but thinking again, it's probably not worth it because, as you say it's not "production".

I've heard of proxmox, but never actually looked into it. I was going to originally use OpenVZ. What's the advantages of proxmox over OpenVZ?

You can run KVM and OVZ in one physical host under Proxmox.

Ah, nice. Any other advantages?.. Looks like it has a control panel itself..is that right?

Also, whats it like to install?

HyperVM has more features though (in comparison to prox), if you do not like the interface - why not just use their API to build your own simple panel? :P

I'd probably be really bad at doing that, but I could give it a go if it's not too hard (will take a look). Not sure which to go for now. I've heard people mentioning proxmox but I've never used it myself.

Well, since I last used proxmox it didnt have an IP management feature (IP pool) - althought this could be manually done, I find this feature pretty useful :P

Ah, I see. Hmm..not sure which route to go down now :P The HyperVM API could be quite complicated.

I see it has loads of instructions such as adding a VM here: http://wiki.lxcenter.org/JSON+Add+a+VM+to+HyperVM

I wouldn't know where to put that code though :P

PacketVM

Any others that I can use? Thinking of going with ovz web panel.

jar

This one is free and quite attractive:

Thanks for that valuable input that you have added ;-)
