    Another...

    Maybe, but Jabali is not like the others. Try it, or check the demo. It is a matured control panel that has been worked on for 2 years. I’ve been a sysadmin + developer in hosting for ~30 years. I’ve worked on real production systems and contributed to open-source projects like DTC (Domain Technologie Control).
    This project is basically the result of years of experience.

    Don't wanna be mean or anything, but it’s the same AI slop as all the other panels presented here before.

    Now clicked through about 30 files, and so far struggle to find a line of code that is written by a human.

    I love criticism! Thank you! But I also do not want to sound mean, but this bit of criticism is the most useless criticism one can devise. Do you find anything else?

    Do you live in a deep forest or on a deserted island?

    @stable_genius said: I suspect

    Do not be so suspicious and you will be surprised.

    Do not fear and you will be surprised.

    That's taken form that cheap eastern pseudo philosophy you're reading, right? I'm not a fan.

    Sorry.

    FWIW it's already better than cPanel bloated rip-off, and free.
    Also works on Debian and doesn't lock you to RHEL derived distros. Best of luck.

    In today's world, Debian is the sane stable choice.

    That's so silly.

    Debian rules the low end, that's all you can say.

  • Nope, left.

    You are doing the community a disservice by claiming the code you put in a repo is GPL licensed.

    The ownership of bot generated code is impossible to assert and you cannot copyright such code under current U.S. and European copyright laws.

    You are not the copyright holder of code generated by a bot, you can only claim copyright to code you own.

    You own the prompts and the code corrections you made to the bot generated code, and that's all. The code in that repo is not yours to license as you please.

    If you want to license something then license the prompts and the code corrections you authored, that's all you are allowed to do according to US and European laws.

    Your licensing is illegal in the U.S. and in Europe

    probably illegal in Canada too.

  • Now that's even cheaper philosophy man.

    Take my advice, stay with the cheap eastern kind, it will make you look better.

    Cannot care more about how other think I look. But great advice otherwise :smiley:

    Yeah, I smell a Karen from miles away. But now I know your also not very smart as you think you are.

    There is no copyright of any to Jabali because it's GPL. Applying a copyright-based open-source license (like the GPL) to pure AI code is legally ineffective (because there is no copyright to grant or condition), placing the code in a repository with an open license signals to the community that the code is free to use and share.
    So.. Sue me :smile:

    Besides, I thought you said you have many things on your hands, so how about doing that and leave this thread alone? This trolling is for kids, and I stopped dealing with it back in School.

    Ineffective licensing terms applied to ineffective code.

    That seems like a good fit.

    So what, Linus is showing signs of decadence, you should not publicize it.

    It's not totally unexpected you know, not truly a shock. I could see that coming.

    Wow, you worded it so politely! When I heard about torvalds utterings on ai, my first reaction was "Oops, now he seems to be in a race with greg k-h who is the more [self-censored] of the two!"

    But maybe I just missed that he got a kind of ai transplant. Might actually be the next logical step for linux.

    @jabali

    Your panel seems to have some attractive features - but I don't care as it's ai slop, sorry.

    Can you give us some insights on why AI code is bad?

    You are such a nice person!
    And so well educated as well, as if all you know comes from some LLM.

    You can't put a license on something you don't own.
    Your code is effectively public domain, so none of the limitations of the GPL apply here or would be enforceable.

    I will spare you what my AI think about your remark about Linus and Greg. (he wasn't polite like me)

    I have been testing this control panel for over 3 months, any problem that arises gets fixed quick, by the developer witch has shown great knowledge, the panel users based is growing, ... I encourage anyone looking for a free panel to give it a try. .. AI also needs human help.

  • Here is my honest opinion about Jabali.

    The company I work for Webquest has been trying to find suitable hosting for sometime. The problems we were facing were high renewal costs after the first year and web admin panels that were nearly as much as the hosting. We weren't able to, for various reasons, able to pass the full cost on to our customers and at the time platforms like cPanel were hiking their subscriptions.

    There were a lot of cheap alternatives on the market, based on a Google search, but most of them seemed to be no longer supported. It was only after going through pages and pages of listings on Github.com that I found Jabali. Not a Google search, not through an advertising campaign, but by searching the hard way.

    The first thing I check on Github.com for any project is the Issues tab. How often are current and new issues being addressed. This is the main point for me. To my surprise all issues were being systematically addressed with the Jabali project.

    Now I didn't jump in straightaway. I researched it for about a month using a VPS virtualisor running on my laptop, slowly trying it with some of our WordPress sites and some of which were not fully updated. I also tried some Django/Wagtail apps which I admittedly had a few problems with. However I found the ticket system most adequate for getting help. Sometimes it was something I had done wrong and sometimes a bug in Jabali which I reported on github Issues and it would usually be fixed within 24 hours and sometimes a bit longer. The responses I got back from the Jabali team were often quite comprehensive, often several paragraphs. I am probably one of the stress testers of the system as I run about 50 websites on it. Anyway coming in now will reap the benefit of those bug fixes.

    After about a month we purchased a VPS from Hostinger which is one of those fully automated hosting platforms and installed Jabali on a VPS. Then we proceeded to move all of our sites off of DreamIT. Note that we have no grievance against DreamIT. Their support was good. However they were quite conservative about what web panels they would provide and they felt Jabali was too new.

    My personal view about Jabali is that I like it more than cPanel or DirectAdmin. I like the System Status page which shows the health of the server at a glance and which user accounts are hogging resources. You can set limits for many OS resources, like CPU, on a per user basis. Something I've never had on DirectAdmin or cPanel. Some things I found a bit of a learning curve, for instance the cron works a little differently to cPanel or DirectAdmin. Nothing that turned out to be a major problem but there was a little bit of a learning curve and I think much of that came around learning Jabali's security model.

    I think for me, at the start, I knew there was some risk into jumping into something new, and I am fairly conservative by nature but in the end I considered the added benefits were worth it and that month of prior testing gave me some confidence that it wouldn't be an immediate disaster.

    For anyone deciding to set this up on a production system I would advise taking a server for backup before running Jabali updates, especially if from the development branch. Otherwise I have no regrets.

    Hope that helps someone. 🙂

  • basura de IA (again)

  • initially i don't really interested for yet another slop project but after seeing Debian 13, Go and AGPL-v3 i decided to stop by. interesting feature for isolation & hardening btw. questions;

    1. is isolation solely rely on default docker runtime or it's using something more hardened like gVisor?
    2. i saw crowdsec but the default / freebies blocklist are pretty inadequate, any plans for supporting extra blocklist like crowdsec-blocklist-import ?
    3. it seems i can't figure out where to see the web domains statistic, like information how much hit has been landed into each domain. if there's IP DB can also visualize / breakdown the access per country estimate. is this not available yet?
    4. do you check your updates are signed & verified that it's actually from you?
    5. any plan for nodejs app support?, i have quite few usage for wordpress as backend then something-js for frontend
    6. what will happen if a client with certain domain exceed their bandwidth usage in their package, if it's suspended, do they really get a suspended page?
    7. seeing a nginx template is tempting to have feature nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker or maybe there's already a similar mechanism in the panel?

    I don't think AI is in a good place yet. AI can help us generate what we're thinking much faster, but leaving everything entirely to AI just creates more slop. It can produce great code with proper direction and prompting, but that also means the person using it needs to have enough knowledge to understand what they're doing.

    You should have read the thread, it was a cynical remake I made for someone said that Linus is [censored] for using AI and showing signs of decadence along with Greg.
    I love AI and I think it's a great power tool in the developer arsenal. I don't think any of the critics of AI here can write half as good as any AI.

    I think the slop in software dev is where people with no development background create a software with tons of bugs and never bother to maintain it. Which makes bad softwares flood.
    But if you know what you are doing, and keep up with the bug fix, it can not considered as a slop.
