Anyone wanna help beta test a new provider?

Hiya. I lurk on the irc channel quite a bit, and joined last year. I've always said I wanted to try my hand at being a provider, so I got to work... right now it's pretty raw, based in the US (Atlanta), using my own hardware and OpenNebula/KVM.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what they'd like to see?

    Please not OpenNebula. That shit doesn't work correctly (with WHMCS). Use SolusVM or sth like that. If you need any help, feel free to PM me, I would like to betatest/help.

    I applaud you for using opennubula.

    I decided not to use WHMCS ... the vulnerabilities turned me off. OpenNebula does have an aws and occi api ...

    Yup, I betatested 2 providers with OpenNebula and they gave up after like 2 weeks^^

    Edit: It's a nice idea, but sadly not stable enough for the production.

    Eh? My other beta testers don't seem to have an issue. Bizarre, I've had it running for months.

    Edit: Maybe I'll be the one who sticks around. ;oD

    Well, you will see what I mean when you use it in production. Still, I wish you good luck ;)

    +Does it support the 'resizing' of the VM's now. Last time I used it, it didn't.

    What didn't you like about it? I welcome any "here's what sucks about OpenNebula" comments, I'd love to fix/stabilize it. Try me... I've actually tested out OpenQRM as well, but liked the simplicity of ONE better.

  • IceCreamIceCream Member

    @flrichar Last time I used it, I didn't like the design, nothing worked correctly, the VM got stuck, networking was fucked up etc. I don't how much it changed.

  • flricharflrichar Member

    They changed a lot between 3.8 and 4.0 ... I'm running the most recent 4.4.1...

  • AleksZAleksZ Member

    so, can we actually test it?

    That's interesting.

    Edit: "Yup, no robot-voices here" But I like the robots :(

  • KrakHeadKrakHead Member

    what we gotta do?

  • IceCreamIceCream Member

    Buy the VPS and write a review?

  • jeffreywintersjeffreywinters Member

    I'd be interested in trying it out. Location?

    Just get in touch with me, via email is cool. Edit: Sorry, just got on a very loooong phone conversation. Drop me a line, let me know what you're interested in, then we'll do a 2 week trial or something. Keeping it afterward would be your decision, I'll come up with a discount. I have ready made images for popular stuff like CentOs, Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux.

    I could always put a voip number up and do a robot voice...

    Yea, hanging out on the IRC channel, I realize many aren't in the US... I try really hard not to be the common 'murican dork.

    That would be pretty nice!

    Me please.

  • Void_WhispererVoid_Whisperer Member

    Sent a message in irc, not sure if he's still here

  • flricharflrichar Member

    If you're interested;

    • send me an email at my userid at geexology.com
    • include these details, that you agree to the datacenter's aup and what distribution you'd like, and if you want a pre-configured image or would rather install one yourself

    The plan is to allow say, four more testers... the AUP is pretty basic and standard, you know, don't be a jerk, do anything illegal or get anyone in trouble. :oO
