The freeVSD package includes PHP-based web administration scripts which can
be installed no a web-server to provide web-based administration of virtual
servers. They are not yet bundled into the standard distribution but can be
downloaded separately via the freevsd.org website:
http://www.freevsd.org/download/index.phtml
A beta version of VSDClient, a windows-based control interface to freeVSD,
produced by IDAYA can also be downloaded from the same location. It is
simple to install and is designed to be distributed to individual virtual
server owners to provide fast, secure control of their virtual server. It
communicates using the documented VSD protocol and implements OpenSSL
authentication/encryption.
VSDControl, which provides the sort of functionality an ISP will require
(e.g. creation/deletion of virtual servers) will also be available by the
end of April.
Screen shots were available, but have been withdrawn as the interface is
being updated to incorporate new functionality and improvements. So, at the
moment the best way to have a look at and get a feel for the GUIs is to
download them and try them out.
