VaporNode Custom VPS Control Panel

[fizzyjoe908]

A small number of you may be able to recall that we launched our Vapor Cloud service back in May of this year. This service was on sale for less than a month. This was caused by the realization that we were unprepared and did not offer a management solution that was adequate enough. Therefore, sales of the service were suspended.

Over the last 5 months, I have been developing a solution to this issue. The panel is functionally completed but could definitely use a more colorful design.

As a preview, here is an album of some screenshots showing various features for OpenVZ and KVM virtual machines: http://imgur.com/a/3U3wK

I am looking for some additional feature ideas that could potentially be added and design / usability tips. Anything related to design will be fed to a freelancer since I'm artistically challenged.

Appreciate any feedback!

Looks fine maybe add some usage graphs of CPU ,disk and bandwidth What are you using for virtual technology?

Pretty clean cut and looks like it'd get the job done.

Excited to hear about functionality!

CPU, RAM, disk, and network graphs are provided in the resource graphs tab. Graphs range from hourly to yearly.


This panel is running on plain OpenVZ / QEMU.

every one goes to cloud

Personally I prefer demo/ testing backend (features) than show off front end

This is a cloud in the sense that you're using virtualized computing resources in a highly available environment. Not in the sense that we have hourly billing or an API.

The panel has also been demo'd over the past week to a select number of current customers.

Give it a bit of color

sb-admin v2 doesn't really stand out, try changing the nav colors.

Also, tiny alignment issue on the "Manage Servers" page where it lists the servers, the text isn't aligned since the button is bigger, add a 'vertical-align: middle' css property to the element's tr/td. This will move the text to the middle of the element where the button text is.

Use http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ for the template selection, makes it searchable and much easier to find the template you want

It's quite simple and neat, a default bootstrap style.

I would suggest change the icon on "manage servers" page to smaller as currently they are looking a little "abrupt", just my thoughts.

Thank you for all the feedback.

As an update, we have hired a designer to improve the look of...well...everything so that it is less bland. This new design should be released in December.

In the meantime, more features will continue to be added. The latest major feature is that each VM is provisioned with a firewall that can be easily managed from the control panel. This was just released tonight.

I know people complain about it.  But I love bootstrap.  It makes everything much easier to work with and look at.  In addition, do people remember what a horrible pain in the ass it was without bootstrap?
