[edit] Installation and Configuration

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS.

We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

[edit] Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.

2. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

3. When you install OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/license_RENAME.php' . Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php' .

4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen.
You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products' .

5. In the next step, set up the 'storage' folder as recursively writable.

This folder is available at 'your_whmcs/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud' .

6. The last step is setting up a cron job (each 5 minutes suggested).

Use cron job below but switch the 'your_whmcs' with your root WHMCS path.

php -q /yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/cron/cron.php queue

[edit] Configuration of Server

7. Now, we will show you how to configure a new product.

Go to the 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Servers' and press 'Add New Server' .

Note: If you have WHMCS V7.8.X or later, we recommend using 'previous experience' of server configuration instead of the new wizard tool.

8. Next, enter your server name and connection details.

Provide your Openstack 'IP address/hostname'

In the next field, enter the 'endpoint identity path' if it is used. You can find its name in the OpenStack 'API Access' section, based on the 'Service Endpoint' address.
Its path name is between the hostname/IP address and port/API version paths. You can leave this field empty if it is not used.
Note: If you are using module version prior to 1.8.1, provide the OpenStack address together with the endpoint in the hostname field - e.g. '10.10.10.253/identity'

Do not also forget to select which API version you want to use ( 'Default', 'V2' or 'V3' ).
Important - if this dropdown is empty, please validate whether you provided correct data into the 'IP/Hostname', 'Identity Endpoint Path', 'Secure' or 'Port' overwrite fields.

Next, specify the details of your server. Choose 'OpenStack VPS Cloud' from the Type dropdown menu and provide the 'Username', 'Password' and admin 'Tenant ID.'
Note: To find your 'Tenant ID' , log in to your OpenStack panel and go to the 'Identity' → 'Projects' menu.
Now you will need to identify the row which corresponds to your project. The 'Tenant ID' will be located in the 'Project ID' column of the identified project.

Project Name - you may declare your project name to which this server is related (leave empty if not related to the OpenStack version you are using)

Certificate Path - you can also provide a full certificate path to verify permissions (leave empty if not related to the OpenStack version you are using)

Optionally, enter your OpenStack custom Domain or leave this field as 'Default' .

If your OpenStack uses https or any custom port, you can additionally provide the relevant configuration in 'Secure' and 'Port' fields.

Finally, press 'Save Changes' .

9. After you have configured your server correctly, you can check the connection with the OpenStack server.

Simply, edit the previously created server and press 'Test Connection' as shown on the screen below.
During the test, the connection with all related endpoints will be checked.
Additionally you can change the endpoint addresses to make sure that all services have been connected successfully or select 'Don't use' if no endpoint is applicable to your OpenStack.
Note: Any chosen endpoint address will be automatically saved after its selection so there is no need to save it manually after each change introduced.

For more information about connections, visit the Common Problems and Tips sections.

10. It is time to create a server group. To do so, click on 'Create New Group'.

11. Enter a name, click on your previously created server, press 'Add' and afterward 'Save Changes'.

[edit] Configuration of Product

12. In order to create and configure a product, go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Products/Services'.

Click on 'Create a New Group' .

13. Enter a product group name and press 'Save Changes'.

14. When you have a product group, you can create your product.

To create a product click on 'Create a New Product' .

15. Afterward, choose your product group and type from the dropdown menus, enter your product name and press 'Continue'.

'Product Type' should be set to 'Shared Hosting'.

16. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose both 'OpenStack VPS Cloud' and your previously created server group from the dropdown menus.

The module should automatically save and reload settings. If not, click on 'Save Changes' manually.

17. Start from defining 'Project Settings'

18. Afterward, set up a network. Choose 'Fixed Network' , 'Floating Network' and 'Default Number Of IP Addresses'.

You can set up a network in two ways. You can find more information about the configuration here.
We will create the network without a floating IP address as presented on the following screen.
Additionally, choose a quantity of IP addresses assigned to a product by typing it into 'Default Number Of IP Addresses'.

19. At this step you can configure the backup and snapshot settings.

Backups

Enable 'Backups Rotation' if you want to allow replacing the oldest backup with a new one when the backup files limit has been reached.
Afterward, enter a number of allowed backups that can be created into the 'Default Backups Files Limit' field. Enter '-1' for unlimited.

You may also let your clients define the backups tasks, they will be then created automatically according to the defined time interval.
Select the 'Scheduled Backups' option and then set the minimum time interval which your clients will have to obey when defining their task schedule at 'Backups Time Interval'.
'Client Scheduled Backups' - if enabled client may manually add tasks to the scheduled tasks.
Note: The number of backups created manually and those scheduled and created automatically is counted together and their overall sum cannot be higher than the defined limit.

Snapshots

Define a default number of allowed snapshots. Enter '-1' to set it to 'Unlimited'.
Important: The option Use Volumes must be enabled under the 'Virtual Machines Settings' in order to let clients create snapshots.

20. Define the virtual machine settings.

Mark a security group from 'Use Security Groups' and select 'Console Type'.
Apart from the selected here groups you may also apply custom rules to the VM. You can learn more about them at Custom Security Group section.

If you wish to use SSH keys, leave 'Generate SSH Key' marked (virtualization has to support the 'Inject File' feature).
In order to use passwords for your VM, leave 'Password Management' marked (virtualization has to support the 'Set Admin Pass' feature).
Please make sure that virtualization used by you supports mentioned actions.
Full list of supported features can be found here.

Important: It is recommended to leave 'Delete SSH Private Key' marked.

The following types of console can be chosen: 'VNC', 'RDP', 'SPICE' and 'Serial'.

21. You can also take advantage of the dedicated Volume and set it as the location of your Virtual Machine Disk,

To do so, make sure to tick the 'Use Volumes' checkbox and enter the desired number into the 'Default Volume Size' field.
Once this option is enabled, your clients will no longer have access to the 'Backup' and 'Rescue' functions, so you may as well leave the respective fields empty.
Note: Scheduled backups cannot be generated when volumes are in use; only manual backups are available.

22. In the next step you may define the firewall rules settings.

Enter the firewall inbound, outbound and total rules limits. When the limit is reached, the client will not be able to create a new rule until one of the existing rules has been removed.

23. Next, select features available at the client area.

You can also decide which images used to rebuild the server will be available to your customers.

24. Finally, enable features available for the administrator on the service page.

25. In addition, you can also choose whether you want to send a welcome email after the VM has been successfully created by cron.

This feature can prove useful if you want clients to receive the notification once their VM is ready rather than immediately after product activation.
If you decide on this option, we suggest that you also set the standard WHMCS configuration of the 'Welcome Email' to 'None' in the 'Details' tab of a product.
Otherwise, the customer will receive both emails - after the product has been activated and after the VM has been successfully created on OpenStack.
Press 'Save Changes' when you are done.

[edit] VPS With Predefined Resources

Our module allows you to offer OpenStack VPS & Cloud to your clients in two ways, with either predefined or configurable resources.

In this section we will show you configuration of VPS with predefined resources.
Detailed information about configuration of VPS with resources chosen by a client can be found here.

26. Select a 'Default Flavor' and 'Default VM Image' .

'Default Flavour' defined resources assigned to a VM while 'Default VM Image' allows you to choose the VM image used to create a new VM.

Congratulations! You have just finished the installation and configuration of the module with predefined resources.

[edit] VPS With Configurable Resources

27. Preparing VPS with configurable options consists of pressing 'Create Configurable Options' as shown on the following screen.

It will prepare default configurable options which can be afterward easily edited as described in this article.
Important: Configurable option 'flavor|Flavor' will be overwritten by 'disc|Disc', 'ram|RAM' and 'vcpus|VCPUs'.
Therefore, you can solve this in three ways:

Remove 'disc|Disc' , 'ram|RAM' and 'vcpus|VCPUs' configurable option and rely completely on 'flavor|Flavor' .
Remove 'disc|Disc' and 'vcpus|VCPUs' , and allow 'flavor|Flavor' being overwritten by 'ram|RAM' (multiple combinations are allowed here).
Remove 'flavor|Flavor' and rely completely on 'disc|Disc' , 'ram|RAM' and 'vcpus|VCPUs' .

Note: The second and the third options results in the creation of a new flavor on your server each time a new order is made.

You can now decide which options should be included in configurable options.

[edit] Custom Flavor Specification And Metadata

28. You may also use a customized 'Flavor Specification' and Metadata' as key and pair properties of your product configuration.

Supported 'Custom Flavor Specification' format:

key1=value1
key2=value2

for example:

hw:cpu_sockets = 3
CIM_PASD_ProcessorArchitecture=x86

Supported 'Metadata' format that can be added:

key1=value1
key2=value2

for example:

sw_database_cassandra_admin = cassandra
sw_webserver_apache_http_port = 80
admin_password = custom_password

[edit] Custom Security Group

29. Optionally, you may create a custom security group with customized rules that will be added while creating the virtual machine.

Select 'Apply Custom Rules' option at Virtual Machine Settings and enable 'Firewall' option in the client area.

Edit the additionalRules.json_sample file content located at modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/app/Config/additionalRules.json_sample directory.
Start with renaming it from additionalRules.json_sample to additionalRules.json.

That is what a default content of the additionalRules.json file looks like:

Customize the rules according to your needs by providing:

direction - "egress" or "ingress"

ethertype - "IPv4" or "IPv6"

description - "your rule description" - visible in the panel only

remote_ip_prefix - IP address, format bound to the ethertype field, e.g.: "::/0"

port_range_min - value between 1 and 63535, eg: "101"

port_range_max - value between 1 and 63535, e.g.: "200"
In case you enter the same value in the 'port_range_min' and 'port_range_max', then one port will be set, not a range of ports.

protocol - enter one of the following: "tcp", "udp", "icmp", "custom"
Important: 'Protocol' must be provided if 'port_range' has been defined.

Now, that your file is ready, a new security group will be created in your OpenStack panel and visible in the product's Module Settings under 'Use Security Groups' on the product creation.
The rules are visible for the client in the 'Firewall' section. If you terminate the product, this group will be deleted as well.

Important: When you are updating your module, and you do not want to overwrite your personalized additionalRules.json file you do not have to do anything.
The file in the newest version of the module is named: additionalRules.json_sample and it will not overwrite the file in your system.

[edit] Custom Config Scripts

30. In this area, you can write a custom script using Cloud-Init and arrange it to be executed on newly created VMs.

This way you can automate your work instead of making all kinds of specific images for specific tasks manually.

Important notes:

Scripts can be written in standards like Bash or YAML.
You can find examplary clout-init config scripts here.
Initial scripts have to be supported by VPS operating system to be executed properly.
Scripts should be used only by advanced users. The incorrect usage of the scripts may damage your system!

On the example below, we will show an exemplary script responsible for setting the password to 'newpass01' for the Ubuntu root user.

You can achieve it by writing:

#cloud-config
debug: True
ssh_pwauth: True
disable_root: false
chpasswd:
   list: |
       root:{$password}
expire: false
runcmd:
   - sed -i'.orig' -e's/without-password/yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   - service sshd restart

You can configure scripts in the same format, but for clients' individual choice when ordering the product.

All you need to do is add a new configurable option and assign it to the OpenStack VPS & Cloud product.
Note: These scripts are executed regardless of the script specified in the module settings.
The easiest way is through the edition of existing 'Configurable options for the OpenStack VPS & Cloud' group, and adding the new configurable option there.
For example, if you want to offer the pre-installed PHP version depending on a client's choice, you can add a new option named script_PHP|PHP version and then define multiple options, like on the screenshot below:

Afterward, your clients can choose during the ordering process:

Using this method, you can perform assorted actions on newly created machines, e.g.: modifying files, preinstalling & preconfiguring software, executing any statements that would normally be executed via the terminal.

The general rule is that configurable option names should begin with script_prefix to be recognized as containing a custom script.
Then, choices under the option have their own names which are matched with a name of existing file with the corresponding script under the yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts path.
Note that files with scripts have to have exactly extension corresponding to the given entries in the configurable options.

In the example above, there are two options: php5.yml and php7.yml, therefore it makes the module read corresponding files:

modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts/php5.yml

or

modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts/php7.yml

You can add many scripts in the exact way.

From the version 1.9.0 you can also use the WHMCS variables of ordered products in your scripts.

These variables can be managed in the same way as merge fields in email templates.

The exemplary execution of the clout-init test script is presented below:

#cloud-config

runcmd:
    - sudo echo "account id: {$accountid}" >> /tmp/whmcs_info.txt
    - sudo echo "service id: {$serviceid}" >> /root/whmcs_info.txt
    - sudo echo "addon id: {$addonId}" >> /var/log/whmcs_info.txt
    - sudo echo "user id: {$userid}" >> ~/whmcs_info.txt

You will save IDs of the WHMCS 'account', 'service', 'addon' and 'client' into the 'whmcs_info.txt' files in various directories on the created instance.
Of course, you can use the variables in any custom script according to your needs.

Important: If you want to use a {} sign in your script that has no variable inside, you must place it inside: {literal}{/literal}, for example: '{literal}{"X": "Y"}{/literal}'.
Otherwise, errors will occur.

Below you can find a complete list of supported variables that can be managed in your custom scripts:

Variable	Variable	Variable	Variable	Variable
{$accountid}	{$configoption12}	{$server}	{$clientsdetails['password']}	{$clientsdetails['allowSingleSignOn']}

[edit] Management

OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS allows your customers to manage their servers via the client area in your WHMCS system.

You can monitor and manage each product from your WHMCS admin area.
1. Module commands (Create, Suspend/Unsuspend, Change Package)
2. Service actions (Stop VM, Pause VM, Soft/Hard Reboot, Reset Network, Rescue, Change Protection)
3. Instance details along with

Interfaces,
Volumes (you will see the 'Volumes' section if you enabled the 'Use Volumes' feature),
Rebuild Virtual Machine
Firewall: add/delete rule
Backups: create, restore, manage, delete
Schedule Tasks: run, delete

[edit] Ordering

Owing to configurable options, you are able to offer a product which your clients can tailor according to their needs.

Additionally, you are able to set up pricing for each configurable option, which make your offer even more competitive.
Important: VPS is not created immediately after ordering 'Create' . Therefore, it is wise to inform your clients about the delay.

[edit] Importing Existing Instance

In this section, you can find short instruction on how to connect one of your clients to your already existing instance in the OpenStack panel.
Take the following steps to make sure that the process will be carried out properly.

1. Firstly, manually create an order for your customer in WHMCS. Choose a client and in the summary, view click on the ' Add New Order' button. Next, select a 'Product/Service' and press 'Submit Order' .
What is important, do not perform the 'Create' action. The status has to remain as 'Pending' .
More info about placing orders can be found here
2. Proceed to the newly created product's card in your admin area. Find the following empty fields:

VM ID

The above-mentioned information has to be consistent with the data from your OpenStack panel. Now, complete these fields as presented below.
Important! Remember to make sure that the format of the provided data is compatible with the format supported by the module. You can preview it for another product of the module you have already created and enter it in a similar way.
If you completed the required data, now change the status from 'Pending' to 'Active' and 'Save Changes' .

3. If the completed data is correct, after refreshing the page, you will see the attached instance from OpenStack.
Important! Remember to manually add other missing parameters of the instance such as domains, credentials, IP Addresses, configurable options, SSH Key, billing cycle, etc. so they match the parameters of the attached instance from OpenStack.

[edit] Client Area

Client area interface of OpenStack VPS & Cloud should look like the one on the screen below. As you can see, the control panel contains useful options needed for managing a virtual machine.

The module allows your customers to easily start/stop, pause/unpause, resume, soft reboot, hard reboot, and reset network of their servers by pressing the specific button.
Clients can also rebuild the server, access the VNC console, create a backup, manage firewalls, and view scheduled tasks.
At 'Scheduled Tasks' your customers can view all requested tasks that were not yet completed.
Each task has additional information bounded to them, like a type of task, attempts to perform tasks, or a last returned response.

[edit] Volumes

In case your OpenStack VPS & Cloud is running with the 'Use Volumes' option, the client area may look a bit different. It will now include an additional section named Volumes.

[edit] Rebuild

The rebuild feature allows your clients to change a server image.

To reinstall your server, choose an image and confirm through pressing the 'Rebuild' button.

[edit] Rescue Mode

The rescue mode provides a mechanism for a VM access even in case the VM's image renders the instance inaccessible - e.g. if instance's filesystem becomes corrupted.

The rescue VM will be launched to permit the user to fix their VM.

Before you continue, please note that the rescue VM will be set up with the same network configuration as the real VM.
Moreover, a new root password will be generated and the VM status will change to 'RESCUE'.
The new VM will also have a rescue image as the primary filesystem and the secondary filesystem would be the original VM's primary file system.

When you want to disable the rescue mode, click the 'Unrescue' button. The VM status will then also return to 'ACTIVE'.

[edit] Backups

Your customers can also create backups of their resources. To do so, press the 'Create Backup' button.

In this section, you will find three different categories related to backups and their management.
At the very top, you will find a current list of existing and available backups with details on their status, creation date, pinned information and action buttons.
Underneath, you may create backups manually at any moment you need. From the 1.9.0 module version, volume backups on demand are also supported.

Manual backups can be created on:

virtual machines with volumes
virtual machines without volumes

Scheduled backups can be created on:

virtual machines without volumes

Note: If your backup is 'Pinned', then it will not be overwritten by the next scheduled backup. You may pin more than just one backup.

Simply, type in a custom name of your backup and press the 'Backup Now' button.

Note 1: Sometimes it may take up to several dozen minutes to finish creating the backup. Please wait until the process is complete.
Note 2: If there has been a limit set on the number of allowed backups and you have just reached that restriction, then a backup with the earliest creation date will be removed to make room for the new on.

Clients are also given the opportunity to create backups automatically by enabling the option: 'Schedule Backups'.

When enabled, provide a time interval to wait until the next backup will be created to define the tasks routine. The entered time interval must be higher or equal to the limit defined by your administrator.
Note: The number of backups created manually and those scheduled and created automatically is counted together and their overall sum cannot be higher than the defined limit.

To restore a VPS from backup, simply press the 'Restore' button next to it.

If selected backups are no longer needed, you may easily delete them.

[edit] VNC Console

One of the most interesting functionality is a VNC console where your clients can remotely manage their servers.

To access it, simply click on the 'Console' button.

VNC is a browser based VNC client. It was implemented using HTML5 Canvas and WebSockets.

[edit] VM Protection

In the product configuration page you can enable the 'Protect VM After Creation' option which prevents the rebuilt of VM.

The selected status of this protection will be applied to both admin area and client area.

Moreover, if the 'Protect VM' option is enabled in the client area, the client will be empowered to toggle the current protection status.

[edit] Firewall

The firewall management page allows your customers to view, add or delete existing rules on a security group assigned to the product.

To add a new firewall rule, use the button marked on the following screen.

Next, choose the rule type (TCP, UDP, ICMP or Other Protocols), direction (inbound or outbound) and ether type (IPv4 or IPv6).
Depending on the port you choose, you will be able to add a rule for a single port only, a range of ports or all ports at once. You can also select one of the predefined ports or use a custom one.
Finally, provide a single IP address or specify the range of addresses using the CIDR format (e.g. 10.10.10.1/24).

Press 'Add' when ready.

[edit] Snapshots

Creating snapshots allows customers to quickly restore any changes to a virtual machine in case of any problems.
Clients can create as many snapshots as they are allowed by the admin in the product configuration or chosen in the configurable option.

Once the shutter has been created, the customer can restore it, change its description or delete it.

After pressing the 'Create Snapshot' button, the new window will pop up along with your limit number and the possibility to specify the snapshot name.

Please note that taking a new snapshot may take a while to process.

[edit] Network Configuration Cases

OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS allows you to set up two types of network.

The first one is a network without a floating IP address.
To set up this type of network, choose 'Public' as 'Fixed Network' and 'Disabled' as 'Floating Network' .
On the following screen you can view an exemplary topology of such a network.

The second type of network is the network with a floating IP address.

Select 'Shared Network' as 'Fixed Network' and 'Public' as 'Floating Network' .

[edit] Configurable Options

In case that standard configuration does not meet your needs, you can adjust it through configurable options.

To do so, go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Option' and press the edit button next to a configurable option used by your product.
Its name is 'Configurable options for your_product_name' .

Here you can view the products that this configurable option group is assigned to.

Now we will show you how to edit options. Let's say that you want to add an option to order VPS with 8GB (8192 MB) RAM.
To do so, edit 'ram|RAM' by pressing the edit button as shown on the screen below.

You will see a popup window, so make sure that your browser will not block it.

To add a new option, enter it in a textbox under all other options. If you want to replace it with an option you currently have, simply edit its text box.
Next, press 'Save Changes' .

Please remember that names of 'Options' for configurable options such as 'Flavor' , 'Network' as well as 'Image' should NOT be modified in WHMCS.
These names should remain the same as in your OpenStack panel.

[edit] Management of Billing

When you combine OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS with Advanced Billing For WHMCS, you will be able to set up additional billing options.

Module allows you to charge your customers based on the server resources used by them.
Note: Advanced Billing currently supports only API prior V3 (OpenStack Ocata). A new compatibility will be added soon.

With Advanced Billing module, you can also display your customers the current server resource usage, their cost, usage history and charts.

[edit] Tips

1. Due to some requests may take time to be completed, we implemented 'Scheduled Tasks' .

Tasks visible at 'Scheduled Tasks' are subsequently performed by a cron job.
Full list of tasks supported by 'Scheduled Tasks' are: create, terminate, change package, remove IP address and remove backup.

2. Important: module has to use admin endpoints instead of public endpoints.

In a properly configured OpenStack server, wget from WHMCS server should be able to get any data from any admin endpoint.
Sample successful requests:

wget openstack:9292
--2014-03-31 09:35:24-- http://openstack:9292/
Resolving openstack(openstack)... 192.168.1.222

Length: 520 [application/json]
Saving to: `index.html'

100%[==========================================================>] 520 --.-K/s in 0s

2014-03-31 09:35:24 (118 MB/s) - `index.html' saved [520/520]

wget openstack:8777
--2014-03-31 09:41:05-- http://openstack:8777/

Connecting to openstack(openstack)|192.168.1.222|:8777... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized
Authorization failed.

3. A primary IP address is always assigned by the OpenStack server when a VM is created. Therefore, if you decide to order 2 IP addresses, then 3 addresses will be assigned.
The primary one and the two additionally ordered. If you wish only one IP address to be assigned to a single product, please set the filed 'Default Number Of IP Addresses' to '0'
or leave it empty in the product's 'Module Settings'.

4. 'Scheduled Backups' functionality is available also for VPS using volumens since 2.0.0 module version and later.

5. How to set up a password to a VM:

When creating a VM:

set up the password using a custom script, details are described here
the module sends the password entered by a user, however, in order to set this password correctly, injecting passwords option must be enabled.
Read more about password injection.

When resetting a VM:

In order to reset a password you must have the 'quemu guest agent' installed

6. How to set up the username based on the used image:

open file 'imageUsernames.yml' located at: /yourwhmcs/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/app/Config
change the file content according to the pattern:

 image name (use name displayed in the databse): 'newUsername'

For example:

 ca6628a6-f627-480f-8aeb-07fdc372712a: 'cirros'

Take a look at the screen to see how an exemplary, correctly modified file content might look like:

[edit] Update Instructions

An essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here.

When you upgrade the module from the version older than 1.8.1 to 1.8.1 or newer, please remember to update the new server's hostname to the new address format, as described in step 8. of the configuration of server guide.

Keep in mind that there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price!
To take advantage of it, simply use the License Upgrade button located on the product page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

To upgrade OpenStack VPS & Cloud from v1.X.X to v2.X.X correctly, please follow these steps:

Firstly, make a backup copy of your server and database.
When you successfully performed a backup, now stop cron tasks that are running.
Delete these folders:

yourWHMCS/includes/OpenStack

yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVPS

Delete these two files openstackvps.js and openstackvps.php that are placed in this folder:

yourWHMCS/includes/hooks

Now, upload new files to your main WHMCS directory.

Important! Please remember to reissue the license in the client area after uploading new files to the main WHMCS directory.
If you do not do this, you will get a notification about the wrong license, and the upgrade process will not succeed.
Please follow our documentation to make sure that you reissue the license properly.

Run the migration cron job:

php -q /yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/cron/cron.php migration:v1_v2

Set the cron task once again:

php -q /yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/cron/cron.php queue

Finally, proceed to the configuration of your server and check if the module type is changed to OpenStack VPS Cloud
and the 'Module Name' to OpenStack VPS Cloud in the 'Module Settings' tab of your product configuration.

[edit] Upgrade Guide

Seeking a solution that offers greater flexibility, customization tailored to your precise needs, and unrestricted availability?
There is an option that not only proves to be cost-effective in the long run but also includes prioritized support services, making it a truly valuable investment.

Opt for the Open Source version of your OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS module to unlock these benefits.
Simply click on either the Get Source Code or Upgrade To Lifetime button found on the product's page in our client area to complete the one-step upgrade process, with a dedicated discount already applied.

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized.

[edit] Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.

2. In case of persisting connection problems, please make sure you have the following ports open:

8774, 35357, 9292, 5000, 8777, 9696, 8776

3. If you come across an error with downloading endpoints during the server configuration process, please save the incomplete configuration, refresh a page and then try to finish your server configuration again.

4. In case you encounter any issues with the cloud-int script or it seems not to be working please follow the below steps:

Log in to virtual machine via FTP or noVNC
Check content of the directory: /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt
If content is the same as you have defined it in the module, it means that the problem is not connected with the module itself
In order to verify if the script includes any errors, please run the below command from the console and analyze the results searching for any errors:

 cloud-init --debug init

5. If you come across the "This flavor - flavor_name_or_id - is not available in the region region_name." error when creating a VM, you should refresh the server configuration page and update Configurable Options.
If this error is still occurring, please make sure that you have the same flavor names set for all regions.

6. If you encounter a connection error in the module settings:

'Error:Connection Error: No route to host (Action: GET https://compute-api.svc.vstoragedomain.:8784/v2.1/5dcda23cb9bd4718b32610bbe18a1382/os-availability-zone). Check WHMCS module log for more information'

Please make sure the API IP address is public or there is a domain setup. For more details please refer to the official Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure documentation.

+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|On the example below, we will show an exemplary script responsible for setting the password to '' 'newpass01' '' for the Ubuntu root user.<br />

+ disable_root: false
+ chpasswd:
+    list: |
+        root:{$password}
+ expire: false

+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|You can configure scripts in the same format, but for clients' individual choice when ordering the product.<br />
+All you need to do is add a new configurable option and assign it to the OpenStack VPS & Cloud product.<br />
+'''''Note:''' These scripts are executed regardless of the script specified in the module settings.''<br />
+The easiest way is through the edition of existing 'Configurable options for the OpenStack VPS & Cloud' group, and adding the new configurable option there.<br />
+For example, if you want to offer the pre-installed PHP version depending on a client's choice, you can add a new option named '''script_PHP|PHP version''' and then define multiple options, like on the screenshot below:
+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 20px 25px;"|[[File:OSVC46.png]]
+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 20px 15px;"|Afterward, your clients can choose during the ordering process:
+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 20px 25px;"|[[File:OSV47.png]]
+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;"|
+Using this method, you can perform assorted actions on newly created machines, e.g.: modifying files, preinstalling & preconfiguring software, executing any statements that would normally be executed via the terminal.<br /><br />
+The general rule is that configurable option names should begin with '''script_prefix''' to be recognized as containing a custom script.<br />
+Then, choices under the option have their own names which are matched with a name of existing file with the corresponding script under the
+'''yourWHMCS/modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts''' path.<br />
+Note that files with scripts have to have '''exactly''' extension corresponding to the given entries in the configurable options.<br /><br />
+In the example above, there are two options: '''php5.yml''' and '''php7.yml''', therefore it makes the module read corresponding files:<br />
+*modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts/php5.yml
+or
+*modules/servers/OpenStackVpsCloud/scripts/php7.yml
+You can add many scripts in the exact way.
+|}
+{|
+|style="padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;"|'''From the version 1.9.0 you can also use the WHMCS variables of ordered products in your scripts.''' <br />
+These variables can be managed in the same way as [https://docs.whmcs.com/Email_Templates#Merge_Fields merge fields] in email templates.<br/>
+The exemplary execution of the clout-init test script is presented below:
+<pre>
+#cloud-config
+runcmd:
+    - sudo echo "account id: {$accountid}" >> /tmp/whmcs_info.txt
+    - sudo echo "service id: {$serviceid}" >> /root/whmcs_info.txt
+    - sudo echo "addon id: {$addonId}" >> /var/log/whmcs_info.txt
+    - sudo echo "user id: {$userid}" >> ~/whmcs_info.txt
+</pre>
+You will save IDs of the WHMCS '' 'account', 'service', 'addon' '' and '' 'client' '' into the '' 'whmcs_info.txt' '' files in various directories on the created instance. <br/>Of course, you can use the variables in any custom script according to your needs.<br/>
+'''''Important:''' If you want to use a '''{} sign''' in your script that has '''no variable''' inside, you must place it inside: '''{literal}{/literal}''', for example: '{literal}{"X": "Y"}{/literal}'. <br/>Otherwise, errors will occur.''<br/>
+Below you can find a complete list of supported variables that can be managed in your custom scripts:

+*Now, upload new files to your '''main WHMCS directory'''. <br/>
+'''Important!''' Please remember to reissue the license in the client area after uploading new files to the main WHMCS directory.<br/>
+If you do not do this, you will get a notification about the wrong license, and the upgrade process will not succeed.<br/>
+Please follow our [[#Installation|documentation]] to make sure that you reissue the license properly.
+*Run the migration cron job:
