Archipel : True SolusVM Alternative?
I was looking for a SolusVM alternative, when I stumbled upon:
It looks cool, and the interface is slick. I think it gives SolusVM a run for its money.
Comments
There is many better than solus. People just think its the best because many use it.
http://www.virtpanel.com/
http://www.virtualizor.com/
To name a few
Majority all have bugs including solusvm.
Archipel is not meant to be used as a hosting control panel, more of a in-house business type of thing.
Me & Ant (InceptionHosting) spoke to the developers asking about WHMCS integration etc and they didn't even know what WHMCS was :P
VirtPanel > Another VePortal from what i can see with their website, missing info and none working links etc.. Do any of these control panel company's put effort into marketing?
Virtualizor > I'm not even going to go into this one. Even more bugs than SolusVM and incompetent support when it comes to something out of the norm.
wat
Their KVM network bridge (Automatically Setup) cannot cope with IPv6 networking variables, although they like to claim otherwise.
virtualizor ver. 2.0.3-2.0.7 bug fix came from my report through ticket support. so i think they have a decent (not incompetent) support. and also, they don't have spam on their wiki site. not like this one.
on topic : Archipel use java, and that consume lot of memory + processor (at least for me).
@Mon5t3r: are you using Virtualizor with WHMCS?
@Damian, yes (for now). why? can we create new thread?
@lele0108 sorry for hijacking your thread. :P
Its nothing like veportal. take a look at it.
I didn't mean the software was the same i meant the feeling i get when i visit their website.
And ATM it doesn't seem like i can look at it, nothing works on their site.
lol, looks pretty professional (Sarcasm).
Looks like someone went Frankenstein on iTunes and vmware's vCloud.
Me gusta.
Anyone tried this out?
OpenVZ Web Panel is actually pretty nice.
It is. We were thinking about migrating to it, but then if we ever decide to offer Xen or KVM offerings, then we'd be screwed.
True, the next version will have bandwidth counting and template sync.
So it seems like solusvm is still the way to go... We recently started to use it because of the whmcs integration...
How about Parallels Server Bare Metal and the WHMCS OpenVZ/Virtuozzo Automation Module?
Just my 2c
I have been given the runaround from Solus in regards to the WHMCS module, my client side product section gives a black page and after logging it with Solus they told me to speak to WHMCS, they where very helpful to the extent that they took a copy of my entire site to do a debug. Two months later WHMCS told me that the issue is module related and that they don't have access to the Solus module code but will be more than willing to assist in the debug and that Solus should please contact them in this regard. So I contacted Solus in regards to the problem and got told it has been escalated to some department that has never got back to me and I have not heard anything since? Been tree months now so I am thinking I may look at something else?

Hi Pavel,
Bumped the thread..
If I understand you correctly, both products need to buy additional slaves or nodes for a license. SolusVM provides a master-only license (you cannot make VM, only use for management). Within that single master license, you can add additional slaves (either unlimited, 5 VPS or 2 VPS type options). So, I do not see any difference, you use a single license for KVM nodes.
Supported on SolusVM too. There is migration tool for KVM virtual machines. Although this is not live and is not based on clusters. It must be initiated manually.
I don't think many server administrators will mind this
However, your cloud 'cluster' node license type is interesting.
The majority of Russian hosters have a tendency to use ISP products as far as I can see. Though it has a good functionality, but I personally don't like its interface. I also don't like your BILLmanager due to the lack of possibility to see all available options during an order stage, I have to be logged in…
And you don't offer a migration path from solusvm.
Where is that tool located for SolusVM? as far as I know its a manual process for KVM that looks like below: Is there some tool i'm not aware of?
Virtualizor is powerful and i used it in the past years to share vpss with my friends . anyway my lic had expired and i dont know how it goes these days
about Archipel , i can see that's their GitHub commit was updated 19 hours ago
'Latest commit af2266d 19 hours ago @CyrilPeponnet CyrilPeponnet Add a missing permission.'

If your talking within SolusVM from one KVM node to another, you can just use the migration button within the VM view logged in as an admin.
Basically does what you do above, but pipes the dd over a SSH connection to save the two extra steps.
Well in that case the SolusVM support department staff needs to be fired because I asked and they told me they don't recommend using the migration button because its buggy...

I have used it quite alot and had no issues at all.
I wrote this very basic script to migrate with minimal downtime, create the LV before running. Remove
status=progress
if the remote node is not CentOS 7 or not supportedUse
virsh suspend $VPS
to boot the new VPS. Once you have verified the move was goodYou might want to add
virsh undefine $VPS
to the removal script, also use/scripts/vm-migrate VMID NODEID
on the solus master to move location within solus, be aware you may need to edit the VNC port if the new VPS fails to boot, you can tell easily if the VNC port is an issue from the CLI withvirsh create /etc/libvirt/qemu/$VPS.xml
Yes, it's in the SolusVM panel. There is a migrate button when you manage a KVM VPS.
I haven't had any issues with it, and used to migrate a whole node before!
Yes? I am using IPv6 with it.
Since @beatpavel wants SEO:
VMmanager is a product that apparently cannot develop a reputation without employing spammers. VMmanager is made by ISPsystem spammers. Scam. Trash. Spam. Bad. Do not buy.
Enjoy your SEO, pavel.
