OpenVCP

This document will be a quick c/p guide to setup openvcp on Alpine linux.

What is openvcp?

OpenVCP is a Open-Source VServer Control Panel published under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). OpenVCP is developed for use with Linux in combination with Linux-Vserver ( http://www.linux-vserver.org ). It provides a web-based interface to manage a whole farm of VServer hosts, build guests, control the guests, account traffic and much more.

Install openvcp daemon

apk add util-vserver libvserver php-tls sqlite sqlite-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libpcap libpcap-dev rsync libtool alpine-sdk

Download

cd /tmp/
wget http://files.openvcp.org/openvcpd-0.5rc3.tar.gz

Unpack and delete tar file

tar zxvf openvcpd-0.5rc3.tar.gz 

cd openvcpd-0.5rc3/

Configure Compile & install the daemon

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install 

Create directories

mkdir -p /vservers/backups
mkdir -p /vservers/userbackups
mkdir -p /vservers/images

Edit the config file

Change "IP" to your own ip and "Ifaces" to the interface you want to measure traffic on

nano /etc/openvcpd.conf

Copy some images to your image directory usually "/vservers/images" (e.g.: http://www.openvcp.org/wiki/Downloads. ( These Images are just folders that contain a Linux system )

Start the daemon

openvcpd

apk add lighttpd mysql mysql-client php-mysql php-mysqli php php-xml php-gettext php-sockets php-gd

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE openvcp;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openvcp.* TO "root";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
