X-BeenThere: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Internet Services Providers List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:49:10 -0000 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? ---- Marc G.
