|style="padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;"|'''OVH VPS & Dedicated Servers  For WHMCS''' is a tool of invaluable usefulness which will allow you to provide Servers to your audience in a completely automated manner. <br />
+
|style="padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;"|'''OVH VPS & Dedicated Servers  For WHMCS''' will let you automatically provision and manage VPS and dedicated servers powered by OVH, with those of So you Start and Kimsufi brands included. <br />
−
The module will empower your clients to exert full control over their virtual machines through such actions as power on/off, reboot, server rebuild and many more.<br />
+
The module will allow your clients not only to remotely control the status of a machine, but also access the KVM and IMPI console, and update reverse DNS paths.<br />
−
At the same time you will be enabled to carry out a thorough supervision of all tasks performed on virtual servers directly from the admin area.  
+
In addition, you will easily decide whether an existing server can be reused by another customer, in case the previous one no longer needs it.

+
−
This field is optional. It allows your clients to insert their public key in order to be able to log in to Server without using a password.<br/>The provided key should be in one of the ''OpenSSH'' formats which are supported by DigitalOcean API. This includes the following types:
+
−
*ssh-rsa

−
*ecdsa-sha2-nistp256

−
*ssh-ed25519

If you would like to limit the possibility of entering the key e.g. only to the '' 'ssh-rsa' '' format, you can use the regular expression in the validation field, such as:
+
−
+
−
#ssh-rsa AAAA[0-9A-Za-z+/]+[=]{0,3}( [^@]+@[^@]+)?#

=Tips=
+
−
{|
+
−
|style="padding: 10px 0px 5px 15px;"|1. You can use the [https://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/dns-manager DNS Manager For WHMCS] module to manage your Server DNS records.<br/>
+
−
It already has a built-in support for DigitalOcean DNS server.
+
−
|}
+
−
{|
+
−
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|2. Some of the features like ''IPv6, private networking'' or ''monitoring'' can only be activated '''once''' and cannot be disabled later on.<br/>
+
−
Use these features wisely as they can increase your Servers maintenance costs.
+
−
|}
+
−
{|
+
−
|style="padding: 0px 0px 10px 15px;"|3. There is an additional custom field named '' 'Firewalls'.'' It should be generated automatically when you upgrade the product.<br/> In case something goes wrong, please add the custom field manually. Take a look at the screen below to check its specification.

+
−
{|
+
−
|style="padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;"|4. '' 'DigitalOcean Server Create Server' '' email template includes information on:
+
−
* Server Name - {$droplet_name}

* User Name - {$droplet_user}
+
−
* Password -  {$droplet_password}
+
−
* Dedicated IP - {$service_dedicated_ip}
+
−
 
+
−
Please note that the last merge field has been added into the template in version 1.3.0. In case you started using the module earlier, you may add it manually.<br/>
+
−
Underneath, you can see how the custom template looks like. You may surely edit it at '' 'WHMCS' → 'Setup' → 'Email Templates'.'' <br/> You will find there the second custom eamil template: '' 'Digital Ocean Password Reset Email' '' as well.

+
−
This may be caused by the requirement to use the [[#SSH Keys|SSH key]] by given distribution instead of a password.
