OpenVZ CP


This is actually a private project I’m developing to easily manage some VEs on my dedicated root server. If it ever gets anywhere near stable and usefull for others, I might release it.

What is OpenVZ?

OpenVZ is an Operating System-level server virtualization solution, built on Linux. OpenVZ creates isolated, secure virtual environments — VEs (otherwise known as virtual private servers, or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each VPS performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; VPSs can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

What can your OpenVZ CP do sofar?

Here is a brief summary of what it can do sofar:

  • Start VE
  • Stop VE
  • Restart VE
  • Boot VE in Rescue
  • Add IPs
  • Remove IPs
  • Destroy VE
  • Create VE
  • set Hostname


What is your OpenVZ CP based on?

Currently it’s written in PHP which is executed via cron every minute.
The php Script connects to a MySQL Database to get all required information.

Where do you see your OpenVZ CP in the future?

Well actually I don’t see it anywhere :)
Florian Pollini has joined development as he is also interessted in having such a tool for his server. We will just have to see what the future brings.
