Order paid → service active, no human in the loop.

Free visual plugins for Proxmox VE, VirtFusion, Virtualizor, SolusVM 2, Pterodactyl, and cPanel/WHM. Bare metal driven by the built-in Bare Metal module with Redfish, IPMI, and the iDRAC driver. Every step is designed to be idempotent and retry-safe, with a row in activity_log per phase.

Order → ready

Six phases. One worker. No human in the loop.

A representative VPS order, end to end. Each phase below is a stage in the pipeline, not a measured timing — real durations depend on the upstream provider and image size. Bare-metal flows add the OS-install window driven by the Bare Metal module.

pipeline phases

01.
Order placed, payment captured
Webhook from Stripe / Mollie / PayPal / CoinGate clears the invoice. The order moves to provisioning_pending.
billing
billingwebhook
02.
AllocationEngine picks a host
Modules score candidates by CPU compatibility, free RAM, storage availability, NIC capacity, and location filter. The first host that satisfies the product constraints wins.
allocator
allocatorallocate
03.
Hypervisor or BMC API call
Visual-plugin call into Proxmox VE, VirtFusion, Virtualizor, SolusVM 2, Pterodactyl, or cPanel/WHM, or a Redfish/IPMI/iDRAC power-on + PXE boot through the Bare Metal module. Methods are designed to be idempotent — same correlation key returns the same object.
driver
driverdriver
04.
OS install
cloud-init for KVM, kickstart / preseed for bare metal, container template for game servers. Boot media is cached locally on first download from the upstream source, then served from the local image library on subsequent boots.
image
imageimage
05.
Network config
IP allocated from the linked subnet, rDNS PTR pushed via PowerDNS / Cloudflare / internal driver, switch port automation runs as a separate job, firewall baseline applied. The DCIM record is updated as each step completes.
network

06.
Credentials emailed, service active
Welcome email rendered from the Handlebars template, root credentials sealed and emailed, service flipped to active. Each step writes a row to activity_log.

Visual plugins

Every provider is a flow graph. Same lifecycle, every domain.

A provider plugin is a JSON flow graph that wires lifecycle nodes (allocate, create, suspend, terminate, console, resize) to your vendor API. The orchestrator handles allocation, retries, and correlation keys — the plugin only describes the vendor calls. SolusVM 2, Virtualizor, Pterodactyl, and cPanel/WHM are all defined this way and ship in core.

Idempotent by design.Every node receives a correlation ID. Re-runs of the same key are intended to return the existing object rather than create a duplicate.
Retry on the queue.Transient failures replay with exponential backoff. Permanent failures surface to the operator console with the upstream’s last response payload.
Activity log per phase.Each lifecycle node writes a row to activity_log alongside billing events — one place to audit what happened to an order.

Visual plugin builder

Auto-install

OS images, cloud-init seeds, kickstart and preseed templates live in one library. New images get a hash on upload; the provisioner verifies before each boot, so a tampered image never reaches a customer host.

Native drivers

What ships in core.

No add-on purchase, no third-party module license. Every provider below ships as a visual plugin in core, maintained by the platform team, and covered by the same upgrade contract as billing. Proxmox VE and KVM/libvirt are not currently shipped — on the roadmap.

automation

VPS

Proxmox VE
VE 7/8 via API tokens. Clone from template, full lifecycle, snapshots, console.
VirtFusion
KVM packages. Build, suspend, terminate, reinstall, resize, panel single sign-on.
Virtualizor
KVM, OpenVZ, LXC plans. Emptiest-server placement, VNC console, reinstall.
SolusVM 2
KVM. SolusVM 2 API. Provision, suspend, terminate, VNC console, reinstall.
cPanel / WHM
Shared hosting accounts. Create, suspend, terminate, package change, SSO.

Bare metal

Redfish 1.x
Generic out-of-band driver. Power, boot order, virtual media.
Dell iDRAC
Dedicated iDRAC driver for power and virtual-media boot.
HPE iLO
Generic Redfish driver. Power, boot order, virtual media.
Generic IPMI 2.0
Power, sensors, and SOL console.

Game servers

Pterodactyl
Egg deploy, allocations, SFTP, backups, stats, resize.
Custom panels
Visual-plugin builder — same lifecycle nodes for any vendor API.

WHMCS has more obscure-provider modules thanks to the Modulesgarden marketplace. If you provision an exotic API today (a specific cloud-reseller endpoint, say), check the plugin marketplace first — or describe it as a visual-plugin flow graph using the same lifecycle nodes the shipped providers use.
