  • What's the problem with Virtualizor? I would just develop my own panel.

    There are other issues too that we've contacted them directly on, too.

    It wasn't so much a question of "is Solus better than Virtualizor, or is Virtualizor better than Solus?", it was more of "what kind of stupid unfixed bugs might we encounter?"

  • @OneTwo said: What's the problem with Virtualizor? I would just develop my own panel.

    Virtualizor caused me about 5 hours of work today because it somehow lost all of the VPS container information for one of our nodes. Backups are made, but.. there's no indication on how to restore. So you try calling the phone support line. No one answers. So then you try to figure it out for yourself. Eventually you get the data back in the SQL database. But you can't slave that node to the master, it already thinks it's a slave node. So you find the variables on the slave node that makes it think it's not a slave anymore. But then it stops working, because it thinks it's a master again and the license is for a slave node. So you change the license type. But then that has to update, and it's updated on a 15 minute cron job. Back to trying to add the slave to the master, the master won't accept it because it already thinks that IP address is slave'd to it. You manually remove the slave from the SQL database for the master, and you try to add the slave back. Oops! Those IPs are already in use by a slave server that doesn't exist anymore! Remove all of the IPs by hand, since there's no delete-this-IP-pool function. Re-add the IPs, try to add slave to master, finally works but slave thinks that there's now VPS containers that need to be "imported", but let's throw a zillion errors because the containers to be "imported" have IPs that Virtualizor claims are already in use. Sigh.

    There's other issues that happened in there, but those were the main ones.

    Regarding rolling our own panel, that's our plan, however, there are a few other projects that need to be completed before then. Datacenter move, DNS hosting, etc...

  • Also, wtf is this sorted by?

    And effects: http://www.virtualizor.com/forums/index.php?topic=7299.0

    But why bother implementing a fix, or even responding? We're still paying the license fees every month regardless if they fix anything, so screw it, kick back, and profit.

    That looks like hell..

  • @Damian said: DNS hosting

    not to be harsh, excuse me, but you have a huge dns cluster for a very low number of requests. why do you spend the time on that?

  • @Aldryic said: True. Hence why we've held off on doing anything :3 not to mention how insanely busy we've been lately.

    @Francisco said: Lets be honest, if Stallion2 went public sale with fully working KVM, OpenVZ, WHMCS modules for $1000 - $1500 one time with full source included, the Solus team would be left with a ship of rats and that's it.

    What about that:
    You sell it to me
    I bring you 10000EUR in cash to Canada/the US/wherever
    You keep using it, we use it, no one else gets it, and we may release it as opensource at a later date.
    Good deal? :)

  • @OneTwo said: not to be harsh, excuse me, but you have a huge dns cluster for a very low number of requests. why do you spend the time on that?

    The huge DNS cluster was built and is being stability-tested because we'll be offering DNS hosting on it in the future. The reason it's huge, as you put it, is because it'll probably be on a price point of unlimited domains and unlimited queries for $4 per month.

    But that's a ways down the road itself.

    What infrastructure & software are you using for your DNS cluster? (If you are at liberty or care to answer).. I understand completely if you can't or don't want to. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do mine for a personal project.

  • @Francisco said: Lets be honest, if Stallion2 went public sale with fully working KVM, OpenVZ, WHMCS modules for $1000 - $1500 one time with full source included, the Solus team would be left with a ship of rats and that's it

    Nope. SolusVM would check out the source of "Stallion2" and use the ideas to quickly integrate features. Depending on what the code of "Stallion2" looks like, a complete re-write, which mimics "Stallion2", could be produced in as little as a week.

    That and the fact that 80% of SolusVM's client base are hosts with less than ten nodes. There's no way those hosts are going to pay $1000 for a license.

    SolusVM is the reason there are so many retarded hosts and it's not going anywhere. Half the new hosts that pop up today can't create a container from the command line, let alone switch over to a new control panel.

  • @twain said: What infrastructure & software are you using for your DNS cluster?

    It's not relevant to this discussion; contact me via PM or email or something if you want to know more.

    @subigo said: That and the fact that 80% of SolusVM's client base are hosts with less than ten nodes. There's no way those hosts are going to pay $1000 for a license.

    +1 on that. I for one am fully willing to pay a $1000 license fee for software that makes me money, that works well, is bug free, and whatever bugs do pop up are fixed within a reasonable timeframe and with communication.
