Secure Dragon's Wyvern gets its biggest update yet!

[Geek]

Wyvern routinely leaves me delighted and jealous at the same time.

In other words, well done.

Seriously, the utilities and on-demand feature enhancements are what should have gone into SolusVM years ago. Am quietly hoping Joe releases something non-proprietary and license it.  I'd certainly pay for it, and I'm sure others would after seeing what Wyvern does.  

Regardless, it rocks, and you should be darn proud.

I've been wanting to release a basic, open source version. One of the longest things on my to-do list is making it easier to do a fresh install. Maybe I'll have something released next year.

I signed up last week just so I can play with Wyvern. Love that everything is right there in one location, well laid out and the self service you often have to submit requests for elsewhere.

Thanks!

If anybody wants to make some feature requests I'm all ears.

I use one of my servers as a proxy to watch movies from Netflix and some sort of api to get the bandwidth usage would be nice.


Call me stupid if this already exists.

 

[fixidixi]

+1 one an api with usage stats . you should limit the max requests /client / [timeframe] though

 

[nunim]

The API usage would be nice but it's simple enough to install vnstat/vnstati and just generate a PNG of your bandwidth stats.

+1 for Wyvern, best control panel out there right now.  I've used the migration feature a few times now and it's always worked out, I'm sure this has reduced your support load quite a bit

API would be great indeed, to complement this simple and nice panel. I wrote a silly script [1] to get the BW stats, although it's so slow it's likely @KuJoe has already provided a proper way to get this info before it finishes running

Wyvern just got a complete audit of the code tonight so I'll be moving forward on releasing a stripped down version on GitHub in the upcoming weeks.

I'll look into getting an API setup, it's outside my comfort zone though so we'll see what happens.

 

[mikho]

I really like how it is all in one place and the API is the only thing that I think is "missing". Not a high priority for me, it's a "nice to have feature" not "need to have".

 

[KuJoe]

One nice feature would be the ability to remove IPv6 addresses from the server. Probably wouldn't see too much use, but it would be nice if you're seeing a lot of junk on one address to just kill it and switch to another (the joys of "unlimited" addresses).

I finally got around to adding this to our production install tonight. Sorry for the delay.

I've added something really basic to our Dev install. It's basically just navigating to a URL and it outputs your current bandwidth usage in plain text. I'm adding an API tab for white listing IPs (you won't have to white list whatever IP you login to WHMCS with, only remote IPs). Here's what it looks like:

# curl "wyvern_getmybw.php?s=21&c=1&key=11111"

0.04

I like you more and more!


I will use this when it leaves DEV and comes into production.


Will it be "only" bandwidth or disk and ram later on?

For now it'll only pull bandwidth since that's the only number that is not generated "on-the-fly" meaning RAM, Disk, and CPU/Load are only pulled by Wyvern when you view your VPS in Wyvern. I can look into pulling additional resources, but I'll need to either cache the results or limit the queries.

There's a pretty big bug with the custom IPv6 addition: almost anything I type in the four boxes, when I submit I get this:



I tried leaving the first three boxes blank and just putting 123 in the last, I tried feed:face:dead:beef, I tried just a 1 in the last box, all failed. Only thing that worked from what I tested was a single digit in all boxes. Not sure what's up there. Also, you should put a four-character maxlength on all the boxes, and auto-advance would be nice (type four characters, focus automatically moves to next box). Finally, I'm not yet seeing IPv6 deletion, but from the sounds of it, it might be because it hasn't rolled out to Chicago (where the server I'm testing with is).

I fixed this. I had added an IF statement in the last update but I put it in the wrong spot in the prod version. I'll clear the WHMCS cache in case it's not showing the new buttons yet. Sorry about that.
