    Not exactly what you asked.. but runcloud is like server pilot plus 100x more coolshit.

    Looks interesting, $10 for the pro plan with multiple servers compared to serverpilots $10 per server. Might check it out.

    @MiteshShah are you making any progress?

    Hey Gleert

    You can join us on slack for more detailed information.
    Also We are stuck with few road blocks but we are currently working on Fail2Ban and Redis Cache things this week.

    We hopefully finish Redis + Fail2Ban setup ready by April 20.

    Regards

    We are currently testing on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Linode/DO/AWS servers.
    We don't had any openvz servers right now for testing :(

    Screw it man, just go with runcloud. It is much better..

  • I know this is an old discussion but just my latest research (2019):

    • VPSSIM and AnsiPress are both dead.
    • EasyEngine v4 is now focused about Docker containers.
    • Runcloud and ServerPilot are both pretty expensive and you can't customize it.
    • Cloudways (from India) is cheaper, but it's unmanaged, and they had many scandals...
    • Webinoly is a newer script, kinda like EasyEngine v3 actually.
    • Moss.sh is confusing me, but seems kinda like Runcloud service... (paid)
    • Centminmod is very advanced and powerful, but seems difficult for newbies.
    • SlickStack is also free Bash script, focused about WordPress.

    Please give me your reviews and opinion thanks.

    FYI, working on making Centmin Mod a DigitalOcean 1-click app on their new marketplace so prebuilt DO droplet image with Centmin Mod already installed for immediate spin up https://community.centminmod.com/threads/digitalocean-marketplace-for-1-click-applications.16835/. Well that's the plan if they ever approve my vendor application and fix my suggested centos compatibility issues with their image validation checker at https://ideas.digitalocean.com/ideas/DO-I-2983

    LittleBizzy is a bit of an asshole. Would avoid him at all costs and at least refrain from anything disparaging lest you end up on his wall o' shame.

    Runcloud, wouldn't touch. Much of the configuration is nonsensical, e.g. it specifies overcommit as 1 and overcommit_ratio, which only makes sense when overcommit is 2. disable_functions in PHP specifies some non-existent native functions, even botches a native one. No reason to make a default pool of 20 workers per site.

    Worst issue is that it stashes your root MySQL password in /etc/mysql and relies on ACLs to restrict access. You can sidestep that when Nginx + Apache is enabled.

    Wouldn't touch RC with a ten foot pole.

    SP, I don't know why in today's time SP doesn't bundle a firewall such as fail2ban or CSF. Right, they want you to subscribe to Heatshield, which is another $10 and quite ineffective at catching anything but aggressive attackers.

    LittleBizzy has been Dissolved in NV as of 2013.

  • Lol WTF is going on since yesterday? I'm guessing that @nem is this Indian scammer??

    Naveed Moein. Fired by his company, for trying to blackmail LittleBizzy? What a loser.

    P.S. Centminmod and SlickStack seem kickass!

    Pfft. I wish. It'd at least give me an interesting backstory.

    Bizzy's come up multiple times in a couple hosting communities, which is how I know about his reputation. Bizzy is not well liked whether or not these stories presented are wholly factual or exotic twists. From my impression from other hosting providers, he's a bit of a spinster.

    I see a lawsuit coming at that, for leaking people's addresses public.

  • @nem (Naveed Moein) it seems only scammers like you hate LittleBizzy, buddy... maybe you shouldn't blackmail developers who release free WordPress plugins?

    Diploma mills, corrupt judges, Harry Reid, and Indian scammers hate them -- now that's funny!

    Back to the topic here, I found one more option mentioned,

    https://roots.io/trellis/

    Trellis is from Roots agency, it uses Ansible playbooks which I've not tried.

    Anyone have experience or reviews from all these options? Is this thread hijacking over?

  • nemnem Member, Host Rep

    @nem (Naveed Moein)

    :trollface:

    Ansible's good. I use that for platform validation, which if you like Ansible and ever get off thinking I'm that guy check out the apnscp thread as an alternative. I'm not that guy but this guy and yes the panel is free.

    Centmin with Centos 7 and OpenVZ is a complete waste of time in any minimal environment. I spent hours tweaking and ended up reinstalling Centos 6 on same server and all issues were magically resolved.

    Its biggest weakness is you never know when a new version is available (maybe checking their forums??). New version of NGINX, imagmagick, php, whatever? Good luck figuring that out without going to their forums.

    I much preferred easyengine. ee -update and you were good to go.

    EVA is an absolute beast and is a hall of fame maintainer imo but it's not for the feint of heart, especially Centos 7 and OpenVZ. Why the script can't tell you on invocation there are new versions of something you have installed I will never understand, but his tireless work on the project should be commended.

    sidewinder said: Centmin with Centos 7 and OpenVZ is a complete waste of time in any minimal environment

    what issues with memory usage ? yes Centmin Mod min/recommended requirements are laid out on install page at https://centminmod.com/install.html but yes CentOS 7 requires at least 1GB of memory.

    sidewinder said: New version of NGINX, imagmagick, php, whatever? Good luck figuring that out without going to their forums.

    Package manager update command is convenient yes but if the repository hasn't released an update or the mirrors haven't populated, just blindly running the command and seeing no available updates will mean end users think they're all up to date when in fact the update hasn't populated in repo channels yet. I personally prefer more details especially when it comes to security updates - and you don't get that always with a package manager update command without some context.

    if you're using 123.09beta01 beta or newer, nginx and centmin mod version/code update notifications are available on first SSH login as well as everytime you exit the centmin.sh shell based menu you also get yum/system update notifications

    and then there's https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-to-keep-informed-of-centmin-mod-related-updates.11443/ where you can subscribe to forum rss feeds and no have to always visit forums for latest updates too

    all security related updates for nginx/php are also posted on the forums

    when security related issues happen, forum members and my social media account followers also get notifications everytime via news forum and forum mailings https://community.centminmod.com/forums/centmin-mod-news.3/

    i.e. PHP security updates recently https://community.centminmod.com/threads/php-7-3-6-7-2-19-7-1-30-security-updates-backported-fixes-php-5-6-7-0.17570/

  • Thanks for the response EVA... also doesn't centmin set up InnoDB by default?

    Also - I am not talking about package updates. If there is a new version of NGINX the script will compile how am I supposed to know without going to your website and initiating a search?

    Requiring > 1GB of RAM for latest CentOS versions + InnoDB hardly seems minimal to me.

    In any event, since switching to Centos 6, my 512gb OpenVZ install has worked flawlessly once I switched from InnoDB

    The Centos 7 problems never went away - NGINX would crash and I could never get it restarted. It was brutal. I can't recommend enough not using Centos 7 with your otherwise wonderful project.

    Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

    I thought centminmod was available as an app image on DO but I was unable to find it recently. ?

    It's coming in private testing right now - I'll update folks on my forums as soon as it is https://community.centminmod.com/threads/digitalocean-marketplace-for-1-click-applications.16835/ - yeah need to visit the forums or subscribe /watch the sub forum or thread so you get email notification ;)

    sidewinder said: also doesn't centmin set up InnoDB by default?

    yes it does though amount of memory it uses is dynamically configured when centmin mod installs itself detecting the amount of memory available you have + disk i/o performance to dynamically optimise /etc/my.cnf for your specific server configuration/resources. But yes Centmin Mod is more about optimal performance than minimal resources out of the box. Though you can further reduce memory usage by modifying your /etc/my.cnf myself settings i.e. disable innodb usage

    sidewinder said: The Centos 7 problems never went away - NGINX would crash and I could never get it restarted. It was brutal. I can't recommend enough not using Centos 7 with your otherwise wonderful project.

    CentOS 7 OS itself without anything installed has minimum memory requirements of 1GB. Nothing to do with Centmin Mod itself. So yes CentOS 7 uses more memory. Not as bad these days as you can get 1GB KVM VPS for $5/month.
