I actually have an iFastNet account :laughing:

Forgot when did I sign up, but any ways, I don’t have anything in that account

OK apparently I have an iFastNet support account as well

Now what on earth is this

I was just reading documentation about WHMCS affiliate links and I saw this :up_arrow:

created my own lab server yey now i can giv people on the internet free vps server for 4 hours and they will definally use it to mine bitcoin and ddos and i have no idea how to prevent it XD

jk it is just random labengine lab server i found online and i connect it with my domain, found like 20 of them

To be fair, WHMCS is a black box that’s horrible to run. They design their software so you can just chuck it on a cPanel account, but god forbid that you actually want to host it in a proper, highly available setup.

So having the option to throw the management of WHMCS over the fence is quite an enticing idea.

Many companies that develop software are switching to a SaaS model, simply because you don’t have to deal with oddities from customer setups. Only big enterprises typically get self hosting options due to compliance requirements, but that usually costs big $$$$$, so that helps to offset it.

no it isnt it just your skill sucks, whmcs is like wordpress that provide the base system and your job is to modify it better to fit your case

7683

Personally, I find it no where near as user friendly as Wordpress…

That’s quite a strong claim. I’d be interested to hear more about what you mean, because the challenges I ran into were pretty specific to WHMCS’s design decisions.

Every system I maintain is setup automatically. If a server burns down, I want to be able to replace it in 10 minutes, and have it setup exactly as the previous server was setup. With as few manual steps as possible, because manual steps take time and introduce risk of config diversion. I don’t want to manually download files, copy them to servers, extract them and manually run installers.

I mainly used virtual servers managed with Salt at the time.

But here WHMCS makes a few things difficult:

  • Their software is locked behind a login screen, making it hard to download automatically. You basically need to redistribute it yourself.
  • Programmatically installing IonCube Loaders isn’t pretty.
  • WHMCS locks their licenses to IP addresses, which means you need to reissue them if you switch servers.
  • And if you want to install WHMCS in a Docker container, this becomes even worse, because every time you update the Docker container, the IP address changes.
  • A very strong reliance on the local file system for file storage, which means you need to back this up and sync it, or use a networked file system.

The local file system reliance and IP locking are deliberate design decisions by the WHMCS developers that make it very hard to run redundantly across multiple servers.

I was unable to do it at the time, but I’m more experienced now, so I think I’d have a better shot. Still, it would take a lot of effort to work around WHMCS’ deliberate restrictions, hence my point.

If you say that my skill sucks, would you mind sharing what your highly-skilled setup looks like?

I agree with you there. In the sense that it’s also rather hostile to containerized deployments. But at least with WordPress, you can use something like Roots Bedrock which has a much cleaner separation between application code and data. No such luck with WHMCS though.

Except that the WHMCS source code is encrypted with IonCube, meaning you cannot see it or modify it. Yes, they support addons, but their addon API is too limited to solve basically any issue I had with it. WordPress plugins are far more powerful I think (although I must admit I’ve never created a WordPress plugin or WHMCS addon).

So:

  • “black box” = IonCube encrypted source
  • “horrible to run” = see above

For a good reason.

iFastNet is slow for me :face_with_tongue:

I tried playing Genshin Impact (again) and my mind is blowing up, almost died when doing daily

I literarily missed more than 2 years of content and I can just no longer comprehend what is what

ohhhh license… my bad i didnt know people actually paying for whmcs

what? why? bruh like why?

im using old whmcs version (for obvious reason…yk) and so far i have no problem with it, i use it on just a regular cpanel solo server and definally not docker or random thing that make the solution become a problem, yes it is quite limited but with addon (and maybe a custom code to handle the thing that whmcs cant), it is basically wordpress for cloud seller.

ioncube is sucks, yes but why you want to modify deep into the code? i dont see the benefit of it than creating your own addon and add your own feature from it

for server backup, to be honest with you, i only backup the sql, 99,99969% i dont care about the source code because it only handle to read and write the database and talk with api and nothing more, there is no customer data saved on the file server, only sql data

if you want, you can use some tool to decrypt ioncube, recommend you to use old whmcs to get a better result

maybe whmcs is not for everyone, you want a solution from a paid product and you also want it to not get encrypt to modify it on your own, so if that the case then whmcs would be one of the easiest product to crack and the company wont get any money at all, and the support policy will be almost impossible for you to get benefit from it, for example you modify the code and you fked up some stuff and you want support, where do you find people to get help? ofc chatgpt, because whmcs wont support you to fix your modified code in any way (except it is addon i assume, i dont read policy)

you just make stuff too complicated for no reason, i still dont get the point of using docker to run whmcs, like why dont you just use cpanel solo? it is so easy to use and dont require complicated code to run, and beside that you can get support if things go wrong

save money is good but when you go to heaven, money dont go with you so just spend it when you can and save your valuable time for other stuff, not spending all of it to do the thing that no one do

(just saying no offense)

Not everyone is easy with cracking software

And you absolutely don’t want cracked software when you are running a real business

Benefits of Docker shows up when you are running a huge amount of servers and building a cluster. cPanel on the other hand feels more like a toy on this extent.
