Wow, great news guys, congrats!
Looking forward also to see the integration APIs.
Will definitely be buying to try out in next days. Actually only waiting for your server move to complete so that my purchase doesn’t get lost in the … clouds 
Thanks for the kind words, beat! Glad you like the way things are coming along. Still got a long way to go, but the number of urgent issues is decreasing by the hour.
The shop should be working now. I hope, though I’m not entirely sure of that yet. No orders have come in since the move that would issue a license. I’ll test it shortly and add an update to the news forum once I’ve confirmed things are actually working correctly.
We’ll also be launching a demo server, and a lot of screenshots and more documentation for Cloudmin in the next couple of days. Baby steps. We’re calling it a “soft launch” at the moment.
Hi Joe,
Hi Jamie,
Tried ordering Cloudmin 50 to support you guys and take a look at it, but in Countries list there is only US and Canada, and that will probably raise an alarm at Paypal…
Could you please add other countries, like Switzerland to the worldmap please ?
Howdy – that’s a good point 
If you don’t hear from Joe soon, be sure to mention this in the Bug Tracker so one of those guys can help you out.
Have a good one!
-Eric
Probably fixed now? I didn’t even realize that it restricted what countries one could order from. I added them all. Hopefully they all work, and it covers what folks need.
Hi Joe,
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for adding our little country to your list.
I went ahead, and purchased a CLOUDMIN-50 license.
Payment went well.
But now I get:
Order complete
Your order is complete! Your order number is XXXX.
Thank you for shopping at Virtualmin, Inc… While logged in, you may continue shopping or view your current order status and order history.
Newly purchased products are available for download immediately on the software licenses page. This page is also linked from your account page.
but first link https://www.virtualmin.com/serial gives:
Cloudmin
You have no Cloudmin licenses.
And view your current status order link gives:
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.
and the link to /user profile in mail just goes to user profile, don’t see license, download link and manual…
HELP
Yeah, as you’re seeing, there’s still a few outstanding issues with the site 
Thanks for your patience, Joe will take care of getting you the info you need once he’s up (it’s still early in his corner of the world).
I’ll ping him to make sure he sees all this.
We’ll be in touch!
-Eric
Thanks Eric.
Maybe you can help on this one too ? need it quite urgently… :
https://www.virtualmin.com/node/9972
Thanks
Howdy,
I unfortunately don’t have access to the old site ATM.
I shot Joe an email to see if it’s lingering around somewhere, so it’ll be a race to see who responds first, him or Jamie
-Eric
Hello,
I order also cloudmin but the result is : no licence avalaible…
How long have we to wait until its ok ?
Welcome to second customer in here
Wish thousands soon to Jamie, Joe and team.
At least my order and payment worked fine , it’s “just” the delivery which failed.
Jamie and Joe are usually very fast, when…awake, down there on the other side of Earth
So my guess is only hours. Well, I hope so, as we’re installing another server tonight, and would love to try Cloudmin doing that… (hm this forum misses essential emoticons…)
There’s a bug report on this, and Joe is madly working to get it all straightened out.
The bug report is here:
So, I figured out the underlying cause of this one, and new orders should work now. beat, I believe your license should now show up at http://www.virtualmin.com/serial
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for giving Cloudmin a try! We’ve got big plans, and we very much want to hear what you think we can improve, and what new features you’d like to see. New products are a lot of fun, since we have far less concern with backward compatibility and old users expectations…we can be a bit more creative and move faster.
No worries, Ok, thanks
I could download an install.sh and see a serial number in Cloudmin.
I don’s see anymore the previously extremely convenient “wget” command to download and install in a single step VIrtualmin…
however, fyi: the other link from the post-payment page:
https://www.virtualmin.com/user/XXXX/order/YYYY
still doesn’t work to see order status (still access denied)
Fyi: Also the order confirmation link received by email still says:
Browse to the following page to login to your account and view your order details:
https://www.virtualmin.com/user
where there is nothing regarding order
Finally, there is no link to the invoice in a printable form for the accounting, but that can wait a little.
Off to go testing… but hm how …? :
Any manual around on how to install what and configure … ?
(just posting to help you streamline the process…don’t want to be a pain )
Small question:
On the license line I see:
Max Instances
50
Max Servers
1
But:
https://www.virtualmin.com/catalog/cloudmin/10 :
"
Cloudmin 10 Instance Annual License
Cloudmin annual (1 year) license for ten guest instances one physical host server using a single virtualization technology. This product can only manage guest instances on a single computer. If you have a single Linux system that you’d like to virtualize quickly and easily, or if you are reselling Cloudmin enabled hosting systems, this is the product for you.
"
https://www.virtualmin.com/catalog/cloudmin/50 :
"
Cloudmin 50 Instance Annual License
Cloudmin annual (1 year) license for management host systems of any type (Linux Xen, Linux vserver, Solaris Zones), and up to a total of 50 guests. This product does not include Virtualmin Professional licenses.
"
Reading the 2 descriptions above was under the impression to be able to manage 50 virtual servers (instances) on any number of servers (Opposed to on only one server with the 10 instances license)… We run very few instances per server as we guarantee resources to each instance…but were understanding Cloudmin would allow us to manage coherently multiple instances (and the virtualmin+webmin inside each) on multiple servers accross the board ?
Confused how to understand the license line ?
Yes, you’re right about Cloudmin 50 and servers, but…
You only need one Cloudmin to manage any number of host servers. The 50 instance license can span any number of systems as host systems, and they only need ssh or Webmin (Webmin is better, as it has fast RPC) in order to act as full-featured host systems.
I think maybe the “server” limit is misleading in this case. It really doesn’t matter; you only want one server. It wouldn’t make sense to have more, because it’d then be uncentralized.
I think we’re also going to do away with server limits altogether in Cloudmin, so everything is instance based. It’s a bit complicated and confusing, as is.
So, yes, spread your 50 instances across as many servers as you like. Cloudmin won’t stop you.
Sorry for the confusion.
Oops, that one should have been a reply to your message.
In short: Use all the servers you want, but you only need Cloudmin installed on one of them.
While waiting for the ubuntu installer, just a stupid question by lack of doc.
On which server should we install it ?
Does the Cloudmin server have to run webmin and virtualmin(Pro) too ?
Can the server be a highly secured server behind the “big corporate firewall” ?
Must the server be accessible from the Internet ? if yes on which ports and from where ?
Which ports should the server have access to to the Internet and to where ?
Having read the catastrophic (and sadly extremely dramatically ended story) of another central VPS management system this week, we definitely want to make the Cloudmin installation extremely protected as it will be controlling all servers…
Also looking forward to some documentation…to stop bugging you with stupid questions
Thanks for your enlighting
On which server should we install it ?
Any server you want. It will manage any server it can reach via ssh or Webmin RPC. Cloudmin does not care. Jamie really outdid himself on Cloudmin…it’s really quite astonishing some of the things it can do already, though we still have a long way to go before we consider it “finished”.
Does the Cloudmin server have to run webmin and virtualmin(Pro) too ?
It is, like Virtualmin, a module of Webmin. So, it has to have Webmin. It’s actually quite a bit simpler than Virtualmin, since the stack is dramatically simpler. The RHEL/CentOS installer will setup the Xen kernel, but mostly the install just installs Webmin and Cloudmin and the framed theme. It’s much less complicated than Virtualmin. It can be installed manually very easily as well. That’s probably something I should document in a hurry, because the meaning of “supported” is much closer to Webmin in Cloudmin, because it is agnostic about almost everything. Put it on pretty much any box with the right Perl modules and Webmin, and it will be happy. You’ll have to then point it at boxes with the right kinds of kernel for virtualization, like Xen or vserver or Zones (and soon OpenVZ!).
Can the server be a highly secured server behind the “big corporate firewall” ?
Yes, we think that’d be swell. Though, to really get the most out of it, you’ll want it to be accessible to your users as well…possibly just through your own wrapper of the API. Cloudmin is a toolkit for building cloud services…and if your users can’t start, stop, re-image, etc. it’s only half a cloud service. We’re not entirely finished with all of the “user-level” capabilities (live resizing of Xen instances, and a few other niceties aren’t in yet, I don’t think).
But, you could have this in your own support UI and make calls to your locked down Cloudmin server from within the private network, if you wanted to. All sorts of possibilities.
Must the server be accessible from the Internet ? if yes on which ports and from where ? Which ports should the server have access to to the Internet and to where ?
Depends on how you use it. If your customers have access (as it is designed for), then they’ll need to be able to get to it from the Internet.
Port 10000, just like Virtualmin. Webmin fast RPC needs ports 10001-10010, I think, but only to your other servers, not from outside.
Having read the catastrophic (and sadly extremely dramatically ended story) of another central VPS management system this week, we definitely want to make the Cloudmin installation extremely protected as it will be controlling all servers…
Yes, we’re spending a lot of time thinking about this as well. We’ve occasionally made mistakes over the past 11 years that broke folks data on a small scale, and it is truly heartbreaking when it happens. So, we definitely advise caution moving forward…I don’t want to brag, or be negative about LXLabs products at all (security is hard, and we all make mistakes), but I can say that Webmin has a much longer security history, and it’s pretty solid. The last serious exploit was over three years ago. Knock on wood, and all.
There are some solutions, but I’m afraid in the very low end hosting environment that was effected in this case, it wouldn’t be cost effective. It basically boils down to keeping really good offline backups. I’ve been talking to a friend who runs tarsnap.com and is a FreeBSD developer and pretty famous security guy about this exact problem (obviously, we’re concerned). His service actually can provide protection against this, as well, as it provides the ability to have “write only” backups. That is, you can only write to it, until you give it a read or delete/overwrite key, at which time you can read back out or overwrite or delete the existing data. So, Cloudmin and Virtualmin could be completely unable to read or damage previously backed up data. Adding support for tarsnap is in our plans, but it could be used immediately, if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty (at least, I think anyone can sign up for the beta). It’s reasonably priced for secure backups, and I trust Colin to get it right, so I’m enthusiastic about tarsnap. I don’t know of any other backup service that offers this level of protection, and I can’t think of many people who I’d trust to get security right enough to really trust it to be secure.
Docs are coming soon! I’m hoping to launch Cloudmin.com tomorrow as early as possible, and then Eric and I can start importing the old docs.
Btw-Thank you guys for being so patient. The Cloudmin launch (intended to be a soft launch amongst friends at least for the first week or two) turned out to be a bit more crowded than intended, and we’re putting out fires, fixing website bugs, and also trying to handle the refugees from HyperVM all at once. We’re happy everybody showed up to the party (parties are better with a nice crowd), but we’re also not quite sure where to seat everyone or what to feed them.
