Why "encrypt" the code?
how exactly would one license if code is not encrypted @GCat
@MSPNick what's ur model in mind for master - slave
Going through SSH for now, we'll be improving things once we have more of a product.
I have some more updates that I'll finish off the show everyone in a minute.
@MSPNick , before trying to build anything you need to make sure you can setup a environment stack using bash or some installer script. Make sure you're able to deploy a nGINX, php-fpm, MySQL or MariaDB stack out of the box without any errors.
Step 2 would be if you're using laravel make it master and use lumen for slave.
Step 3 encode & license
Thanks for the suggestion, the installer was one of the first thing's we built before we built the panel
i laughed.
VM's now have stats, still a WIP, ram is off and CPU doesn't actually count anything yet.

Well done my friend!
Proud of your progress!
Disclaimer: I've been talking to Nick regarding this project since the very beginning. Nick is a very devoted guy and has excellent ideas. Would advise you all to follow this project.
I don't think so, no sorry.
Not that far. It's the same language, and by and large you can use the same modules on both sides.
How would you license if it is encrypted? Licensing is a legal problem, not a technical one. The correct solution to this (assuming you believe in proprietary software) is legal repercussions for people who don't purchase a license - not adding DRM that only gets in the way for legitimate users and makes it impossible for them to patch stuff.
"Encrypting code" is a terrible fucking idea, and no self-respecting developer should be doing it. No matter the reason.
We've developed a cloud platform that's opensource which you can use to build a private cloud, https://github.com/VirtEngine - feel free to play around
Latest update is the VM stats page;

please give suggestions!
@MSPNick looks really nice! What's your ETA for release?
For an openvz panel around december at one point, just got to make sure it's stable and usable.. I dont want to be an exact ETA on it at all. as I am unsure - don't want to promise something and not deliver.
plus we need to add some of the nitty gritty features..
@joepie91
It was the other way round license ( code ) and encrypt, also any sane developer who doesn't want others to steal his work would encrypt. But thats only sane...
Your RAM counters shouldn't be a FLOAT unless you plan to start allocating RAM in 640K blocks in honor of Bill. :P An unsigned int would be ideal.

This made me laugh.
I think the way Blesta did it was the most reasonable. Core functions + licensing code is encrypted but the rest is entirely open.
Francisco
No, they wouldn't. Encrypting your code does not prevent this, in any way. It only works against legitimate customers who need to patch the code for whatever reason. The idea that encrypting or obfuscating code somehow keeps people from copying it, is completely make-believe. This has never worked, and will never work, because the incentives don't make sense.
Nah, if you don't believe you should make all of your intellectual property available for free, you're a complete moron programmer whose sole purpose is to write insecure software that the .001% of the population capable of actually modifying it can fix it . . . . on the off-chance they use it.
There's no arguing this, its 100% fact 100% of the time.
I have seen the inside of the panel and it looks great; will be waiting to see what he comes up with next inside the panel
At first, I was excited about
his panelVirtCrap. Now, I just find him to be a nuisance with his awful marketing tactics./ban
Same here, I really hope i'm wrong, but by the way they are handling the project, I can't see it as a serious contender to solus/virtualizor.
At this point, even Virtualizor is better. (and that's something shocking)
EDIT: (this is for @DETio)
Yeah, Virtengine is complete trash with no proper roadmap. Don't ever see it coming lol Especially with Jon fail marketing.
I will be showing more screenshots tomorrow and if anyone wants any access to view it please do pm me your Skype so I can setup for you.
I think its perhaps a bit early to be throwing Det.io/VirtEngine under the bus, the first release is only 48 hours late
lets judge it when it is released.
It's like losing your appetite after watching something horrid. I lost my interest for VirtEngine after @DETio spammed his scummy panel all over LET.
I couldn't care less about the release date, what I care for is communication from them, when something doesn't go as planned, you need to keep your public updated. I've tried reaching them on facebook and email with cero response.
