About 6 years ago or so, we wrote an inhouse control panel to allow us to
manage freebsd jails from a central gui ... although it works, its neither
intuitive or pretty ... and is a nightmare to change ...
The features it does have is:
each client has 1 or more login ideas tot heir account
a client can have multiple jails assigned to them
- front page has a summary of memory, storage and bandwidth usage
- each VPS has their own detail screen that includes the above, as well
as any virtual hosts that are running on it
- new virtual machines can be requesetd
- new virtual hosts can be added
- mysql/pgsql databases can be added / deleted
all invoicing is performed automatically through the system
there is a support center for clients to post problems
what it doesn't do is dns or email management ... dns is modified 'by
request', and email is a totally seperate, unintegrated inferface ...
I've tried DTC, and its a nice interface, but its more a 'seperate
instance per VPS' vs centralized solution ... I don't want to have to log
into multiple interfaces to deal with support issues, for instance .. but,
at the same time, don't want to force a client to have two different
interfaces to handle things ...
Does anyone have any suggestions on software that could replace this? I
don't want ot run VMWare, or any of the other virtualization software
packages, I would like to stick, as much as possible, to a nice, clean,
jail environment ...
Thoughts?
