ProxCP Billing - Blesta

ProxCP Blesta Requirements

• Blesta version 3.1 or higher
• ProxCP uses its built-in IP manager to assign IP addresses to new services from Blesta. First, login to your ProxCP admin account and go to ADMIN > Manage IPv4 Pool. Add an IPv4 pool as requested on the page for Blesta to use.
• The ProxCP Blesta module communicates with the ProxCP API to manage services. To create API authentication credentials, go to ADMIN > Manage API and create a new API ID/Key pair. In the IP restriction box, enter the IP address of your Blesta installation location. IP restrictions are required for the API.

ProxCP Blesta Installation

• Upload all files in the _blesta_module directory to the components/modules/ directory of Blesta

...That's it!

ProxCP Blesta Configuration

• In Blesta, go to Settings > Modules > Available
  • Find ProxCP and click the Install button
• In Blesta, go to Settings > Modules > Installed
  • Find ProxCP and click the Manage button
  • Click the Add Server button in the top right
  • Give the ProxCP server a label; it can be anything
  • Enter the domain/hostname of your ProxCP installation location (i.e. proxcp.domain.com). Do not include port numbers or http(s):// protocols
  • Enter the API ID and API Key provided to you in the ProxCP ADMIN area (ADMIN > Manage API)
  • Click the Add Server button
  • Note: you only need 1 ProxCP server for all Proxmox nodes

• ProxCP requires two configurable options for Blesta packages
  • In Blesta, go to Packages > Configurable Options and create a new group
  • Once the group is created, create two new configurable options and assign them to the new group
    • Option 1: Hostname (proxcp_hostname)
      
    • Option 2: Operating System (proxcp_os)
      
  • The Name field for each of these options needs to match the screenshots

• In Blesta, go to Packages > Browse Packages and create a new package
  • Ensure the new package is using the configurable option group you created earlier with the Hostname and Operating System options
  • Select proxcp as the module
  • Select any as the ProxCP Group
  • The Server dropdown can be left blank/default
  • ProxCP Service Type: KVM, LXC, or KVM Public Cloud
  • Proxmox Node: which Proxmox node should new services be created on for this product?
  • Default OS Installation Type: should new orders be created with ISO mounts or from template clones? (KVM ONLY)
  • Other module settings should be self-explanatory for service resources (storage, CPU, RAM, bandwidth)

• This covers the Blesta provisioning module for ProxCP. The module supports all automation functions creation, termination, suspension, and unsuspension.
