Sentora Stability

[aroiz]

Hello, how many sites can manage with sentora, Im talking about for hosting production environments.

For example I have one server with 1800 hosting accounts with cPanel.

Sentora support that number of accounts ? 
is stable ?
is secure ?

Thanks.

Sentora is limited to the size of your HDD.
I've never run that many accounts, (probably 10 tops), so can't really comment on the stability or speed of it running that many accounts, but it'd be like any other software I'd imagine, it depends on your hardware.

There have been many arguments by many members over the years, (a more serious one got me in the shit big time with everyone when I was part of the staff), but I'm on the side of the developers. Sentora, (old ZPanel) has been tested by an outside security source & all of the major issues were fixed.
Every precaution has been taken to ensure it's secure, but NO software, (Sentora, like cPanel is a software layer with root privileges) is 100% invulnerable.

I hope this helps.

Hi there! I am running Sentora for a few years now. I have a few servers with sentora they all work ok without issues, a minor bug here and there, but things you can fix under your server with some lines of code and "tweaks".

Is it stable? Yes! One of the reasons they keep it without much changes is the security. Its a good stable production.

Of course, you need to keep an eye on what you are doing, but with that many accounts I am pretty sure you know what you are doing.

Overall, yes! Sentora is a good control panel for webhosting accounts, pretty simple and easy to work with, secure and faster then cpanel too.

Hello @Wormsunited and everyone,

      Sentora v1.0.3 is, for the most part, SEMI-STABLE. If STABLE means (of an object or structure) not likely to give way or overturn; firmly fixed. The answer is NO. CentOS 6 & 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 have many issues that you will find as you start to use Sentora FULLY. Don't be FOOLED. 

As @Wormsubited STATED 

Code:

"a minor bug here and there, but things you can fix under your server with some lines of code and "tweaks."

 
Is CORRECT. Unless you are a developer, PHP Coder or just someone that understands what to do, you will not be able to get Sentora v1.0.3 running 100%. 

Trust me it's NOT EASY, to tell the truth being someone that has been using this system seen it was Zpanel. I have more than 7+ years with this code and use it for PRODUCTION.

- Sentora is SECURE with VHOST(Site) to VHOST(site) because of Suhosin and PHP openbase_dir. Solid system  :-)
- Sentora panel is NOT SECURE!!! Any USER can VIEW (MySQL, MAILBOX, etc - Passwords), DELETE(MySQL, MAILBOX, etc-), ADD(MySQL, MAILBOX, etc-). NO JOKE. There are currently 3 ZERO day hacks to take full control of Sentora. Sentora team knows of these issues and still hasn't addressed them.  

Sentora code is more than [ 5 years old!!! ] There is a secret HACK to get the most recent code in the INSTALLER THO. 
The Sentora team has not made this public yet. [Should have made an UPDATE years ago]. I see them mention it but never tell the public what to do. See below-

INSTALL UP-TO-DATE SENTORA code-

Making new installer for everyone!!!! Stay tuned!!! Sorry to tired to continue...

LOVE SENTORA & SENTORA TEAM. BEHIND YOU 100%, BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.

Vedran B,

We are working on restructuring Sentora and fixing all security issues. Sentora team hasn't had any active developers for a while and lost its main Dev @ballen a while ago. As you know I have been working on a NEW version that will be merged with the existing code that has many of the security issues fixed like modules/control panel vulnerabilities. Still, BETA code tell I finish security testing. We also have a new version with PHP-FPM, real system user lookdown, and proper permissions. This is a major step for security and Sentora's future. 

Thank you for supporting Sentora & sharing your finds on Github.
