There’s one client that got used to Ajenti. He doesn’t do much on Ajenti. Some user management and occasional PHP version change.
My question is to other Virtualmin gurus here:
Can Ajenti live along Virtualmin without any problems? I don’t see that they would step on each others toes living together on the same OS. Especially since Ajenti doesn’t sew into OS much like other Admin Panels like cPanel and others.
Do you have any thoughts, guys? Or any experience is such combo-existence of two panels?
Don’t ask me. He’s stubborn. I’m still trying to convince him.
The reason why I’m eventually willing to accept this combo-existence is that is purely Development Server. On higher Envs there’s only Virtualmin present.
and the ability to elevate the user to root is thankfully disabled by default. If this is installed it needs a root user so you might give your client the ‘keys’ to your box
No, that’s going to be a mess. Give your one client who must have Ajenti his own VM running Ajenti. Don’t let it screw up your Virtualmin system. You can’t reasonably run multiple management systems on the same system…and most are much more invasive and non-standard in how they do things than Virtualmin (that’s the reason Virtualmin exists…I refused to take part in deploying a mess of custom crap, and at the time every control panel shipped their own Apache, MTA, BIND, etc. All custom builds, all garbage from-source stuff. No native packages. Ignored the usual locations for files, etc.).
Anyway, just no. Don’t waste your time trying to do something that won’t work well.
Thank you guys for all of the responses.
I’m equipped now with some arguments. Will do my best to convince him to stop being used to own things and be open to explore new solutions.
well it does not install anything other than itself, TBF I can not see a real use case for it, The file manager and terminal are not a patch on VM, there is no ability to configure anything, it’s un aware of any packages on the system.
What it can do is start/stop/enable/disable services, adjust the system clock (if you install the plugin) in fact the whole thing is a bunch of plugins.
What I am getting at is this panel (?) will not interfere with a virtualmin system at all but may help in the future if someone blindly installs this and uses it to mess with the system units. Worst part is you need to be root to use it
