  1. Alpha Version Of Virtkick - A Free And Open Source Alternative To Solusvm Just Released

    in Show Off

    Posted

    Thank you guys for your good words. I'm happy you like it. In fact, the very first work that we did was the static UI prototype with all the features that we're planning to get going. (at https://demo.virtkick.io/)  I believe the UI part is most important as it's the first thing that users interact with. It's not possible to be user friendly without having a good UI.

     

     

    is thier any feature list for the roadmap ?

     

    We haven't yet published the project roadmap because we're still not sure about the order in which things will get implemented. However, we posted a raw list of planned features in Feature Tour on VirtKick Twitter account. The first one is here, and there are ~30 tweets: https://twitter.com/virtkick/status/503937178523553792

     

    Also, please have a look at the static HTML prototype of the end-customer panel. If you haven't yet. :-) https://demo.virtkick.io/

     

     

    I'm testing some alternatives for SolusVM and till now I find it only open Nebula to be good for production.

    I install Open Nebula on one server with KVM ,it woud be great if more alternatives came out.

     

    OpenNebula is an IaaS open source project that I like most at the moment. It's way easier to install, use and maintain than OpenStack. They did a good job. Still, OpenNebula is meant for managing the infrastructure, rather than be usable by VPS providers. All these tools focus on the underlying technology. That's why I started VirtKick.

     

     

    unfortuanlely  I can't say much about simple because I sow only end user interface.Can you tell little more about or provide some full futured demo with Admin/Reseller interface or at least some screen shoots.

     

    Right, we haven't prototyped the admin interface yet. We're now focusing on implementing end-user interface. I'll know more about admin panel prototype in 2 weeks (consider this an ETA for ETA for admin prototype :)).

     

    Oh, and if anyone would like to help and draft something - that'll we cool! Take your pen, draw and share what you've got. :-)

     

    From tittle I can see goal is to be SolusVM alterative so I supose it is multi user and multi server panel.

     

    Surely it's meant to be multi-user and multi-server!

     

    In fact, what you see in the alpha is multi-user too. "Test it out button" creates a new user and force-logins you.

    It's single-server at this point for the sake of simplicity. We wanted to present something clickable as soon as possible. :-)

     

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Closed beta testers are welcome, just sign up at https://www.virtkick.io/. Thanks!

    @nelsa, From all current open source projects I like OpenNebula most. Here's a copy-paste from our internal articles:

     

     

    From all the available solutions out there, I like OpenNebula most. Their slogan is "Flexible Enterprise Cloud Made Simple". This is totally true. It's flexible - you decide on how to configure and use things. They also have a nice and clean UI.

     

    Compared to OpenNebula, VirtKick's slogan would be "All-in-one cloud with hot features made damn simple". "All-in-one" means you can not only manage the cloud but also support your customers and bill them. "Hot features" means support for Docker, a mobile webapp, and so forth. "Damn simple" means you can get your VM created with 5 clicks in less than 50 seconds, without being overwhelmed with a variety of possible options.

     

    Beta tests will begin in three weeks. Please just note it won't be production ready, so you probably want to continue testing OpenNebula. :-)

    Thanks for your interest guys.

     

     

    I like it. I signed up for updates. Post more on it. Where is your blog?

     

    It will be directly on the www.virtkick.io when I write the first blog post. We were focusing on prototyping and coding in the first place. Blog posts will follow when we have something real to show (namely: the beta).

     

     

    I'm not planning on starting up my VPS operations for another few months, so I wouldn't really be much help in the Beta unless it lasts longer than that though, any idea on the timeline you are looking at for Beta/Launch?

     

    Hosted beta - the end of September

    User-installable beta - mid October

    Launch - January

     

    Please note that VirtKick will be usable for regular owners of dedicated servers - billing module is optional. Without a billing module it's a nice looking, user focused cloud admin panel (compared to admin focused Proxmox or OpenStack). The beta won't have the billing module anyway - we aim to gather feedback from the user point of view.

     

    Thanks.

    Hey, I'm looking for people who'd want to participate in upcoming beta tests of VirtKick cloud panel this month. If you are interested, please sign up at www.virtkick.io.

     

    With VirtKick you'll be able to manage your own cloud or, most importantly for you, run a VPS business. VirtKick will have a built-in billing and helpdesk module, but I'm planning to integrate with Blesta too. Here's the demo: demo.virtkick.io

     

    Let me know if you'd want to know anything about the project. I will happily answer. :-) Thanks.
