we used SysCP for a few weeks and now switched to Froxlor.
I have some ideas for the future development and I would like you to discuss them with the Froxlor-Community first:
1.
In my opinion it would be amazing, if froxlor will be a modular system. Think of CMS-Systems like Typo3 or Joomla, every developer can write plugins, to enhance the functionality of the core system. In Froxlor there can be plugins for different Webservers (Apache, Lighty, Nginx and others), Mailservers, FTP-Servers, Databases, Statistics (AWStats, Webalizer, Piwik) and other extensions (billing, APS...). Maybe there can be Plugins to support different types of WebApps (PHP, Ruby, Python).
This would allow non-core-developers to enhance Froxlor, without loosing update-capabilitys.
In the second step there can be a Extension-Repository with auto-update functionality (like Typo3, Magento or Firefox). You can install, upgrade, rate and comment plugins from inside your froxlor backend.
2.
The possibility, to manage multiple servers from one backend would also be incredible. Maybe some of you know ProxMox Virtual Environment, a virtualisation management tool. It has amazing cluster features. It would be cool, to manage all customer in one backend. And it should be possible to move a customer from one node to another with a single click (same setups required).
Maybe this can also be implemented as a plugin with a REST-Api:-)
I absolutely know, that these are not easy tasks, but think of the possibilities.
And don't get me wrong, I'm more than willing to contribute to these features, but it's nearly an impossible task for one devloper.
Besides I think there should be a solid concept before coding even starts.
So, what do you think of my suggestions? Don't hesitate to tell me your opinion...
