Anyone use Ajenti?
Curious if anyone has had any real experiences to share with it. Quite attractive and doesn't seem to have a terrible footprint. I've got it running on a BuyVM 256 right now. Easy configuration snapshots, unreasonably simple virtual host management for Apache or nginx. Strikes me as a slightly bulkier, significantly more attractive Webmin. Debian repo just makes it stupid easy and quick to setup. Idling at around 50MB RAM, likely because I've made zero attempts to optimize it beyond installing Ubuntu 10.04 and then Ajenti and nginx.

Running it on a OpenvZ box just to test, looks great but needs some more implementations and upgrades. However I like the design.

Its fairly good, and I like how its modular.
But it does have some annoying bugs.
Anything significant that you've caught so far that would stop you from using it to run a couple static, non mission critical sites?
No, their just usability bugs.
I really like UI. Might as well test it out on one of my un-used boxes :P
This is pretty awesome!! thanks for the share...
It can do nothing I can't do from true-black console.
Thanks for sharing, let me try
Gave it a whirl on a ubuntu VM, it's nice.
Trying to decide how I'd run it as a template but for sure it's nice.

Their interface looks great, might give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Put an installer in init of the template, and once installed remove the installer file.
This is a nice server control panel, I've used it before. However, I really love OpenPanel
@jarland thanks for the share. This panel looks pretty.
Looks good, will check it out. Thanks!
... hit the thanks button ...
@Mon5t3r or the flag?
@Jeffrey
While I do like Openpanel, if I recalled it was a real pain to install.. Ehcp is also pretty nice but seems to use a lot of memory and requires a lot of user input to install.. and both CP don't feel as responsive as Ajenti.. The only thing about Ajenti is the overlay gives me a headache, tried to disable visual effects in configuration but still the same..
It is like webmin?
Not quite as many plugins as webmin but the idea of it is pretty much the same thing. Plugins look pretty easy to make as well.
Neat thx
@earl Pain to install??? Just copy and paste the commands from their website into an install of either Debian or Ubuntu
Anybody know how much memory it consumes on a Debian 32 bit OVZ? Please share your experience, thanks!
Installed Debian 6, ran updates, I'm sitting at 23mb ram in use. Now to install ajenti...
48mb in use. Didn't reboot, no customizations, nothing. Not too bad. Dropped to 42 when I closed ssh. Openssh really using that much?
yes. try dropbear
wow, that's too high
Thanks for the share, looks pretty good.
@netomx Yeah I installed the basic template, don't believe it was a minimal installation. So I'm guessing you could probably actually cut this thing down to near webmin's footprint. Minimal systems aren't a big skill of mine yet. I've always been one to just buy more hardware
It doesnt need to be miniimal, I get like 10mb
Admittedly it was 13mb before I ran apt update & upgrade.
it probably started samba and apache. I disabled sendmail, samba, xinetd, saslauthd, and bunch of services... then you'll lower it to aPROX. 10
@netomx
Interestingly, you just helped me with my issues with my VNC system. I could not, for the life of me, figure out what was using so much memory. Remove apache and samba, 50% cut in memory usage.
