Softaculous is a control panel that installs into a *userspace* control panel inside a guest VM, and manages LAMPstack packages on that machine/VM.


Instead of Softaculous, Webuzo is the product which manages LAMP, LEMP, etc from within the VPS.

@ZXHost, AMPPS is not recommended for production servers but rather is a dev stack

I know you've got "KVM with OpenVZ" as a standard feature now, as well as mobile control panel interface.  Any other "we can't do that"'s that are now "sure we can"?  :-)

One more question that I realized I have:

Virtualizor is the control panel that lives in a host VM and controls guest VMs, and Softaculous is a control panel that installs into a *userspace* control panel inside a guest VM, and manages LAMPstack packages on that machine/VM.

Do I understand correctly that you folks do not supply a package that lives in that "userspace control panel" space inbetween, akin to cPanel or Plesk; the thing into which Softaculous plugs?

Can I SSH or VNC to *the emulated hardware console of the VPS machine*, *in the HostOS*?


Sir, virtualizor do not install VNC server in the guest node. We use host node simulation.


I *think* that that reply means "Yes, when you connect with SSH or VNC, you are connecting to the emulated hardware console of the Guest VM", which is the answer I wanted to hear.

Could I not simply treat the Host as one V server, and the KVM guest with OpenVZ running inside it as *a separately licensed second V server*?


You can sir. You can create a VPS in the KVM and inside the KVM VPS, you can install OpenVZ Virtualizor and treat it as a separate host node with individual Virtualizor license.


Excellent; that's also the answer I wanted to hear.

Oh: and "uses ZFS/btrfs instead of LVM" does not by any means imply "is cloud based"... just so that's clear.


Yes sir, we are gonna introduce the cloud Virtualizor very soon and the ZFS file-system type is *one of the feature* we are gonna introduce.

It's my understanding, from some further research, that I can in fact run an OpenVZ container set *inside a KVM virtual machine* on a host physical machine and OS.

Could I not simply treat the Host as one V server, and the KVM guest with OpenVZ running inside it as *a separately licensed second V server*?

This seems like it would work, unless there's something I don't know about V (and there's a *lot* I don't know about V, obviously. :-)

I *know* that I can SSH or VNC to *the SSH and VNC servers that are running on the GuestOS inside the VPS; that wasn't what I asked.

Can I SSH or VNC to *the emulated hardware console of the VPS machine*, *in the HostOS*?  That is a *much* more impressive capability, and if that's really what you supply, you should rewrite that stanza of the tour so that's its much clearer that that's what you mean.

(Honestly, your tour smacks very strongly of English as a Second Language, and could use a bit of polish all the way through...)

Thank you for taking time and writing to us. We will be glad to assist you and answer all your queries.

KVM seems more flexible on a "what can I run" basis, while OpenVZ seems more flexible from a RAM efficiency basis; I gather I can't run both on the same hardware?


Sir, currently you can not do it with Virtualizor. This feature is under the development but we can not provide you the ETA for this.

Quote

Next: the OS templates for KVM are an order of magnitude larger in size than the OpenVZ templates, and the Xen ones aren't much larger than OpenVZ; say maybe double the size.  Why the large discrepancy?


This depends upon the virtualization package. We cant help it :)

Quote

will OpenStack interact with Virtualizor?


Right now i can't say anything about it, Virtualizor do not interact with OpenStack.


Quote

the Tour says that V supports "VNC and SSH to your VPS".  Does that mean "to the virtualized hardware console of the VPS"?  Cause *that* would be noteworthy, and the only thing I can think of about which they'd actually be bragging.  But the Tour isn't clear.


You can SSH and take the VNC of the guest VMs, also the host VMs. The option is given inside Virtualizor Panel.

Quote

I'll want to be able to see IPv4/v6 In/Out for both each individual VPS *and* the physical interface, *from the Host OS*.


Virtualizor do provide the statistical graph for bandwidth, CPU, RAM resources utilization for host as well as guests. You can find it in Virtualizor Admin Panel.

If you want, you can install other third party tools and use that.


Quote

Can I do that?  Is it set up automatically?  If I want that, and some sort of user CP *inside* a VPS image, I assume I have to rebuild the image template to include that sort of thing?  How hard is it to rebuild the provided image templates for that?


Just create a VPS, install a CP, and create a template of that VPS. You will find Create Template option available in Virtualizor Admin panel. Its just as easy as one click.


Quote


Here's another question: can I preconfigure *where* container backups are put?  So that they can go, frex, directly to slower, larger storage?


Yes, you can set your own directory in Backup settings page.

Quote

Can I provision storage-only volumes that can be mounted by a started VPS?


Currently not supported, We are working on it.

Quote

One last question for the moment: does the admin UI have a mobile theme, preferably compatible with Opera Android.


No.

Quote

Does it now, or is it planned in the future, for V to know how to manipulate volumes on ZFS or btrfs, instead of LVM?


Yes, we will be working on it its in our ToDo list. A cloud based Virtualizor.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

My iniital reading suggests that V does LVM manipulations to build the volumes for the VMs it creates.

Does it now, or is it planned in the future, for V to know how to manipulate volumes on ZFS or btrfs, instead of LVM?
