(Quote) We used to host PIs in a DC a few years back, we used 20 port hubs to power them and got around the rebooting using the reset pins on the pis. Basically we had a single PI4 with a gpio expander to act as the controller. Each pi was assigned…

(Quote) It’s powered by USB-C, what’s provided in terms of outlets? Do I just need to ship a standard US power supply and USB-C cable?
-
(Quote) I can just preconfigure a MicroSD card and ship it over, seems counter productive shipping something from China to the UK to then ship it to the states on the SBC though.
-
(Quote) The orange Pi has an NVME slot so no need for a hat or external enclosure. (Quote) without the NVME drive the power consumption is 7.3w at full load (which it likely never would be) the NVME drive I’m looking at has a maximum power consumpt…
-
I’m pretty interested in the micro collocation. Would you be willing to install one of these along with an NVME SSD in the £5 per month category? http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-5-32GB.html Also…

Todo: View Invoices Create/Edit Loadbalancer Memory Increase/Decrease Delete Instance Reboot Instance Instance Details (Including Ports, SSH command, bandwidth use, CPU usage, Memory usage etc.) Create SSH Keys Most of the email templates
-
Got a little done today, SSH Keys are now integrated. This is using the sshpubkeys library for validation. (Image)

(Quote) Enlarging is fine but shrinking is dangerous, not only does it have a tendency to fail it also doesn’t clean up after itself and the image file has to be manually shrunk using the likes of fstrim. I’m reluctant to add a feature to enlarge d…
-
(Quote) Probably not, we’ve tested it. It’s dangerous, and can easily trash a container. If it does get added it will come with a whole bunch of warnings strongly recommending that it’s not used.

Had a quick Look over things this evening to work out what is left to do. The Launch/Create instance view is complete. We will be forcing Key based auth from the release of the new panel. Key validation will be done using sshpubkeys in strict mode:…
-
No progress has been made this evening, catching up on tickets still from Black Friday. I’m hoping to have the new panel functionally working over the weekend. I’ve purchased a decent server to host the panel on although it should be pretty perfor…
-
(Quote) https://micronode.uk/status/ Is automatically updated and we have full alerting on all nodes. This will all be built into the new panel though, with the relevant notifications and messages.
-
Thats as far as I'm going with ticketing, after all we offer a no support service! (Image)
-
Spent some time over the last few evenings playing with Django-helpdesk thinking I could cut a massive corner on the support ticketing side - https://github.com/django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk Anyway the code is pretty terrible, its not easy to cus…

(Quote) It’s been pretty unstable to the point that we don’t really monitor it. I just fix it every few days. I think it’s up right now though. The public IP did change recently, make sure you’ve got the right IP in the panel.
-
(Quote) I considered adding it as an option, we actually did this on the old proxy service back when we were on solusVM. It worked but had a few limitations.
-
(Quote) It was actually dead at the time you deleted the LB, certbot had hung and consumed 8GB RAM causing the worker to be OOM killed. (Quote) Going to try to add an LB in APAC and the US as well as a fair few clients are loadbalancing traffic fro…

Todo: Support ticketing Loadbalancer creation and Editing Stripe integration (Maybe) I think I'll have this out early next year!
-
Few minor updates this evening The cart/checkout is functionally complete with Paypal fully integrated. Few styling fixes to do but nothing major: (Image) The Resources page is now built, this shows the "Credit" status of the account wi…
-
(Quote) Not as such, the storage VPS lineup is likely going to be replaced when our new panel goes live and it will be available then. This is likely to occur towards the end of January.
-
The worker on the AMS Loadbalancer crashed an hour or two ago, I've brought it back online now. If anyone has created a LB in the last few hours you may need to delete it and recreate it. We'll be adding further redundancy to Loadbalance…
-
(Quote) Oh yeah I'm going to go totally overboard with the email notifications, I've also added notifications to the panel. (Image) There is no concept in the new panel of a service renewal. Once the resources expire the user needs to pu…
-
Quick update for today as I haven't had much time to spend on the panel. Managed to get a few hours this afternoon between putting the Christmas tree up and running a few errands. The products view is now built and the checkout is almost compl…

One of the major changes to implement billing was to create a signup form, historically we've always created the account after an order has taken place and the credentials are then sent to the user via a WHMCS module. The biggest challenge her…
-
(Quote) Might opensource the existing panel, won’t be open sourcing the new one.
-
Thanks for everyone’s suggestions, We’re going to go for the bespoke option. I took a look at the new Micronode panel over the last few evenings and made a fair amount of progress. Considering we’d have to write a module for any of the options ava…
-
Started adding billing and support tickets to the new panel. Here's a preview. The UI isn't finalised at all and a fair few changes are yet to be made. Its starting to come together though. (Image)
-
(Quote) That could be an option, the issue is a lot of the VPS’ are on the UK nodes which are HDD and a fair amount of the packages have a large amount of disk. Obviously this doesn’t scale well when all other locations are on SSDs. I think the saf…
-
The Micronode panel is currently going through a rewrite to add some requested features. It’s currently written in PHP which I have regretted since launch. I’m rewriting it in Python (django) and I’m at a bit of a loss on what to do with the existi…
-
I’ve slept on this and had a few thoughts, we’re going to test Blesta, clientexec and work with @Jord over the coming weeks to see if we can come up with a solution. I’m also thinking of another approach where we build billing and support into the …
-
(Quote) I wonder what the terms are on this. If I was to buy a VPS from @InceptionHosting and claim the free Blesta Licence would it have to be hosted within Inception Hosting’s network to comply with the licence? Not that I’d be against that at all…
