This project is in early development stage

Django Orchestra

Orchestra is a Django-based framework for building web hosting control panels.

Motivation

There are a lot of widely used open source hosting control panels, however, none of them seems apropiate when you already have an existing service infrastructure or simply you want your services to run on a particular architecture.

The goal of this project is to provide the tools for easily build a fully featured control panel that is not tied to any particular service architecture.

Overview

  • The admin interface is based on Django Admin. The resulting interface is very model-centric with a limited workflow pattern: change lists, add and change forms. The advantage is that only little declarative code is required.
  • It does not provide a customer-facing interface, but provides a REST API that allows you to build one.
  • Service orchestration, resource management, billing, accountancy is provided in a decoupled way, meaning:
    • You can develop new services without worring about those parts
    • You can replace any of these parts by your own implementation without carring about the others
    • You can reuse any of those modules on your Django projects
  • Be advised, because its flexibility Orchestra may be more tedious to deploy than traditional web hosting control panels.

Fast Deployment Setup

This deployment is not suitable for production but more than enough for checking out this project. For other deployments checkout these links:

# Create and activate a Python virtualenv
# Make sure python3.x-venv package is installed on your system
python3 -mvenv env-django-orchestra
source env-django-orchestra/bin/activate

# Install Orchestra and its dependencies
pip3 install http://git.io/django-orchestra-dev
# The only non-pip required dependency for runing pip3 install is python3-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
pip3 install -r http://git.io/orchestra-requirements.txt

# Create a new Orchestra site
orchestra-admin startproject panel
python3 panel/manage.py migrate
python3 panel/manage.py runserver

Now you can see the web interface on http://localhost:8000/admin/

Quick Start

  1. Install django-orchestra following any of these methods:

    1. PIP-only, Fast deployment setup (demo)
    2. Docker container (development)
    3. Install on current system (production)
  2. Generate a password-less SSH key for user orchestra and transfer it to your servers:

    orchestra@panel:~ ssh-keygen
    orchestra@panel:~ ssh-copy-id root@server.address
    

    Now add the servers using the web interface /admin/orchestration/servers, check that the SSH connection is working and Orchestra is able to report servers uptimes.

  3. Configure your services, one at a time, staring with domains, databases, webapps, websites, ...

    1. Add related routes via /admin/orchestration/route/
    2. Configure related settings on /admin/settings/setting/
    3. If required, configure related resources like account disk limit, VPS traffic, etc /resources/resource/
    4. Test if create and delete service instances works as expected
    5. Do the same for the remaining services. You can disable services that you don't want by editing INSTALLED_APPS setting
  4. Configure billing by adding services /admin/services/service/add/ and plans /admin/plans/plan/. Once a service is created hit the Update orders button to create orders for existing service instances, orders for new instances will be automatically created.
