BoxCtrl, server management programs, and a waiting list...

Looking for something based mostly on php to fork. Use good ole CLI internally.

Look what happened to him.

I like the simplicity of boxctrl, but storing stuff in text files...meh.

Yalp. When we bought his VPS clients, he assigned us the full rights (as it were....) to Boxctrl.... as you can see, it's such a stellar product that we kept using it. /sarcasm

I think this hit the record for the largest bump.

It wasn't bad, per se, it just wasn't good, or an improvement over Solus. And it had some issues with not sanitizing inputs. Additionally, it was per-server, which is okay for one or two servers, but once you get to having a pile of servers, the master-slave model really helps with efficient management.

How would you not realize that in the planning process..... I didn't know it was per node.

Really what happened with him (@subigo ) ????, I was following this topic until he stopped to answer here.

subigo was ZenSix, no?

I thought @qps bought his stuff. He retired because he had big Google contracts to fulfill.

Though if his coding fu was weak...call me skeptical.

This is just a few lines of code that executes vzctl commands with shell_exec

$outputShell = shell_exec("sudo vzctl set $ctid --userpasswd root:$newpasswordsecure --save");

I wouldn't call this a control panel.

Yep. As I recall, $newpasswordsecure isn't sanitized too.

I think it was @joepie91 who once pointed out that anyone can slap together a display of buttons that do vzctl actions. It's the rest of the panel that takes all the time and effort.

We bought the ZenSix brand and shared hosting customers.
