  • VM creation, management, and monitoring from within ProVision
  • Minimal requirements - Managed Servers only requires Python3 and Docker as dependencies
  • OS options include CentOS and Ubuntu
  • Supports both remote and manual setups
  • Supports both root and non-root installations (for the latter, some root steps may be required)
  • Installation and upgrade may be performed either via internet connection or locally:
    • Remote internet install/upgrade connects to 6connect's servers to upgrade to get new versions
    • Local installs/upgrades will require users to upload the new version locally into their ProVision instance
    • No kernel updates or other system updates are required for local updates - only the Docker container will be updated.

API timeout: Timeout for API calls in milliseconds.

Update Mode: Enter the source for updates, depending on internet accessibility. Two options are available:

  • Image Download (Local) - This option is to update from ProVision, locally. No internet connection is required from the managed server, but an image file must be manually downloaded from a separate secure site and then uploaded into ProVision. 
Note

If "Image Download (Local)" is selected, you must download the image file from a secure 6connect site to then upload for this setting. Please contact support@6connect.com for credentials to access the image download area.

  • Internet Docker Update - This uses a Docker update directly from our docker registry. Internet connection is required for the managed server in order this mode to work. When this is chosen fields for tokens for our gitlab/registry appear to be filled in:
    • Update username: Enter the username for updates.
    • DNS update token: Enter the token for the DNS repository.
    • DHCP update token: Enter the token for the DHCP repository.
    • Monitoring update token: Enter the token for the Monitoring repository.
    • Backup update token: Enter the token for the Backup Monitoring repository.
  • Test Tokens: Click to test the applied tokens for DNS, DHCP, and Monitor.
