16. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section, choose both 'Vultr VPS' 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 the 'Configuration' details.
  • Region - choose one of the geographical areas with the preferred predefined set of resource for your VPS

Set one of the below three options: Operating System, ISO or Snapshot. Leave the other two as 'Disabled'.

  • Operating System - you may choose one of the operating systems to be used when creating your virtual machine
  • ISO - use an ISO that you have previously created in your Vultr panel to install the virtual machine
  • Snapshot - you may also install the virtual machine using one of the existing snapshots

Move to setting up the rest of of configuration options:

  • IPv6 - turn on IPv6 type of IP addresses for the VPS
  • Plan - choose a plan to install the virtual machine
  • User Data - enter the user data to run common configuration tasks when your instance starts. You can run cloud-init directives or shell scripts for Linux images
  • Automatic Backups - turn on aromatic backups creation

18. 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.

VT 17.png
19. At the end of the configuration process, you can decide whether you want to generate configurable options for the product.

Configurable options can be used by your clients to select each virtual machine parameters individually during order placement.
Otherwise, if configurable options are not defined, then the fixed parameters specified in the earlier configuration will be used instead.

VT 18.png
If you decide to use configurable options, press the 'Create' button and select which options you want to generate.
Remember that only one of the three options: 'os_id|OS', 'iso_id|ISO', 'snapshot_id|Snapshot' can be used at once! Enable one of them only to avoid errors.

Note that the configuration for disabled options will still be taken from the configuration of the main product.
More information about how to use configurable options can be found here or in the official WHMCS documentation.

2. Module commands (Create, Suspend/Unsuspend, Change Package)

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.

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 Vultr 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 field:

  • Instance ID

The above-mentioned information has to be consistent with the data from your Vultr panel. Now, complete this field 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 Vultr.
Important! Remember to manually add other missing parameters of the instance such as domains, credentials, IP Addresses, configurable options, etc. so they match the parameters of the attached instance from Vultr panel.

Client Area

The first section available for clients grants ability to view the list of existing 'Backups' of your server.
Please remember that 'Backups' are assigned to a particular server and will be removed once the server is deleted.

Provide a time details to wait until the next backup will be created.

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

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.
Note: Please remember that there is a limit of 50 firewall rules. If you reach this limit, you will not be allowed to create new ones before removing any existing ones.

VT 27.png
Next, fill out the rule details to create it:
  • Type- choose between IPv4 andIPv6
  • Protocol - select among TCP, UDP, ICMP, GRE, ESP and AH

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

Update Instructions

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

Keep in mind 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's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. If you use WHMCS V7.8.X (or later), a fatal error may occur when trying to save server settings without providing any hostname or IP address details.
Our module does not require this field to be filled out, but in that case, try to provide anything in the hostname field. Please note that this is a bug occurring in WHMCS, not the module itself.
