  • @Not_Oles said: However, there are obvious problems with the free VPS program as currently arranged. For example, no out-of-the-box GUI support, even for really good GUIs. Also, there is no IPv6. And, at this time, I am doing all the installs and all the reinstalls by hand, myself, because I don't know an easy way, under the server's current Proxmox + OVH failover IP setup, for users to do their own installs and reinstalls.

    I want to reinstall the server itself in a way which will permit users to do their own installs and reinstalls. And if there is no out-of-the-box GUI support, I should warn potential users before they come aboard and experience issues setting up the GUI environment they want.

    How about replacing

    With OpenNebula ?

    @Not_Oles In the long run it's going to be faster to get rid of Proxmox and use a standard QEMU/KVM setup since there are a million management tools and images for that. Perhaps @Mason has a few suggestions if you want to keep using Proxmox, but other than homerolling your own utilities or getting a janky ModulesGarden WHMCS plugin, there really isn't a lot out there for proxmox management that I am aware of.

    My pronouns are asshole/asshole/asshole. I will give you the same courtesy.

    Please don't, it's unstable as hell.
    Used it for a year.

    Was mostly busy with fixing bugs.

    Just read into Proxmox + Cloud Init, you can automate pretty much everything.
    Just build a template one time and clone it each time.

    Cloudinit takes care of the contextualization.

    I use a sponsored ProxCP instance. It's pretty solid and makes node/VM management a piece of cake.

    @exception0x876 since you are a long time user of OpenNebula,

    What's your overall experience with OpenNebula ( Excluding, the security vulnerability of Nov 2019) ?
