Stallion 2 - pictures and daily updates :)

I'll add that to a point release after roll


I don't like enforcing the 'strong password' thing since they're hard to remember. Passing special characters to vzctl can be annoying as well so we've enforced the following policy:

Why not just do something like this? https://github.com/joepie91/cvm/blob/develop/runhelper/runhelper

PHP passes on the to-be-run command to the Python script in base64-encoded form (so no escaping madness), Python then runs it and provides the output in JSON format (this was to deal with the lack of proper output handling in php-ssh2 when I was still using it).

You could just do the same for the root password (ie. send a base64-encoded version to a Python script that uses Popen with list syntax to actually run the vzctl command, no escaping required).

An interesting idea but for now lets just roll what we have working From there I can start making a list of improvements as well as timelines on it.

Thanks,

Looks awesome Fran! I was so psyched when I got the email I went to investigate, found this board. Seriously, looks totally hot. And I for one really appreciate the mobile friendly design. I know my husband (who I converted into a BuyVM fanboy) will dig it too since he's on his iPad mini half the time and this will make it super easy to manage stuff.

Great work!

Aaaaand, mass email is currently underway.

And right into my spam folder

My two highlights noone mentioned:

• Dual Logins (!!!)
• No Java for console and VNC
  

PS:

Francisco tried to apply an Acceptable Use Policy to Pony's dong but he ended up having to sit on one of these for a week.

 

[wlanboy]

Can we offer any cockies to the pony to speed up things?

B.t.w.: I would choose Amanda:

• No proprietary device drivers
• No proprietary format - just GNU utils
• Good documentation & community

Consider forcing/generating a six or seven word+ diceware password - they're plenty strong, and much easier to remember / type.

I think you should add a 'Bing' (yeah yeah) like feature so the login page of Stallion has a daily stallion / pony related background.

If you have an example I can look into it

w00t Christina from Mashable at VPSboard Welcome!

Had some delays, sorry about that.

Had some bugs with our queue runner since we moved to debian 7 for this box.

I got a couple cron scripts to quickly right but past that I think it's ready for opening

Saw the tweet, congratulations on the launch guys

Keep up the great work, Francisco and Aldryic.

"You must power off your virtual server for new KVM settings to take effect."

Did that, turned it back on, still get the message. Wasn't for vpsBoard anyhow

Lookin' nice!

EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I thought the message meant I had to power off / power on for new settings to appear in the control panel or something. I'm tired.

Which message?

Take a screen if you can.

I think it's just a general warning that changes require a reboot to take effect? Before I thought I had to reboot for options to become available to me, but that doesn't make sense. I'm tired.

I'll check my franmar on there then
