  • What have you done, invested the same amount the cpanel increase was into thousands of DA licenses? :open_mouth:

    He's getting it from Clouvider, they just announced free DA licences for all customers of VPS/Dedi servers. :smiley:

    Wow this is cool. I think some of Ant's stuff is not with Clouvider though? E.g. the Phoenix servers.

    Does this include Low End Spirit? (Didn't think so, but had to ask ;)).

    How does it work: do users install a DA public key in ~root/authorized_keys so that DA can get in to install stuff? Is there a client program also needing to be installed? I'm wondering if this can all be done with something like Ansible, which only requires a minimal Python interpreter at the remote end to do its stuff.

    I've never used anything like this but maybe I've been missing out. :)

    The license is registered under you as a unique "Client" and "License" ID you enter during the installation process

    OK regarding the license, but how does the panel actually manage the VPS? Like how does it install a web server if you ask it to do that? Thanks.

    It.. runs on the VPS as root I guess? It's like installing cPanel on your VPS

    I've never used cPanel on a VPS so don't know how that works either. I figured cPanel and DA are both remote configuration contraptions, though they might also use target-side programs like Chef or similar tools (I use Ansible because it doesn't have one of those). I still don't understand what it is that these programs actually do, other than put a web gui in front of a Chef or Ansible like tool. Oh well, I probably shouldn't get wrapped up in this, since I'm not in the hosting business myself these days. The whole situation just annoys me though.

    Direct Admin provide simple installation instructions if you get stuck and take the basic support option during checkout I will help.

    That just shows the user interface, not how to install it on a VPS. I've used the UI from shared hosting and mxroute. What I want to know is what the VPS installation process (if any) looks like for the VPS user, and for the host. Thanks though :).

    After all this time, @AnthonySmith finally hooked me. Couldn't resist, especially with included DA. With such a loss-leader (on my VM) I hope it all works out for you. :-|

    P.S. There's no plural of stuff (I know, 'cos I have plenty enough of it!) :-p
