I’m assuming you mean you want a control panel right? If so Virtualizor is probably the cheapest option out there for a single server and VM.
Yes. control panel to mange a single large VPS over the physical server.
Yeah i’d go Virtualizor, Solus.io is much more expensive, solusvm is no longer updated other than for security and quite frankly as the days go by we get nearer and nearer to the inevitable announcement that solusvm is being discontinued and everyone is to be forced to solus.io... that’ll be a very interesting day indeed.
Could use Cockpit as well. https://cockpit-project.org/
or ESXI? https://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi
I hate the crummy Virtualizor:
SolusIO is not ready for production. I found 6+ bugs in a few hours of an invited SolusIO trial:
Someone needs to start a Change.org petition to keep Solus VM - the clean and easy to use control panel (except that Virmach hides the username which hinders usability).
SolusIO was released long before being ready I agree; but this also realistically backs the reality that they want to get SolusIO out there and replace SolusVM asap, it's going to happen and it's going to be one hell of a shit show for a load of providers, a great portion of which are from round these parts.
Plesk is behind SolusIO, so it worth waiting until we see a complete platform.
I’d vouch for ESXi. If you want to have something near native, great 3D acceleration and other goodies, this is an absolute recommandation. I use it for years for private use. Much better than Proxmox.
libvirt works well for virtual machines as part of an existing dedicated server. Other suggestions assume the dedicated server will only be used to run this VPS, which I guess isn’t the case?
Sounds like you want a control panel as well, in which case virt-manager over ssh x11 forwarding
If you want to get a cheaper control panel license, why pay to create a single VPS? Instead, use a free one like libvirt or vagrant.
what exactly issue have you experienced?
all info depends on DC, example: OVH is different to hetzner DC
+1 for virtualizor
Virtualizor has a button to mount ISO, but the VM would not boot from ISO.
I ensured that (1) boot order is CDROM first (2) VM is powered off and then powered on, not merely rebooted.
SolusVM has a popup showing the subnet and gateway, but Virtualizor doesn't have that.
What was the ISO? Normal OS media or custom ISO? Just curious as I might try it if it's standard OS media.
Yeah that's be a handy thing for it to show, especially for people who are doing custom installs.
It's "Admin ISO", Ubuntu 18 server. The provider is Evolution Host.
But they have iPXE in boot menu so I get around it with netboot.xyz.
