[BlueOnyx:24896] Re: BlueOnyx API and WHMCS module updated

[Fungal Style]

Thanks... I was about to see how I could tackle the beast when I got a moment as I have been shuffling servers.

    Hi all,

    I just published updated base-alpine-* and base-api-* RPMs to the
    BlueOnyx 5209R and BlueOnyx 5210R YUM repositories.

    These extend the existing API on 5209R and (finally!) adds a fully
    working API to BlueOnyx 5210R as well.

    These updates also introduce changes to the "Cross Site Request Forgery"
    (CSRF) protection in BlueOnyx. IPs added to the field "API Host(s)"
    under "Server Management" / "Maintenance" / "API" are now excluded from
    the CSRF protection that usually protects the GUI against unsolicited
    POST and GET requests.

    The API documentation at https://www.blueonyx.it/api/ has been updated
    as well and new screenshots and usage clips have been added to it.

    Additionally a new WHMCS integration for BlueOnyx has been released at
    this URL:

    https://devel.blueonyx.it/pub/BlueOnyx/TAR/

    It's the whmcs-blueonyx-5200R-server-module-v2.4-1.tar.gz tarball.

    The tarball contains two WHMCS modules. One named "BlueOnyx 5209R" and
    one named "BlueOnyx 5210R".

    In WHMCS you can use these to automatically provision "Shared Hosting"
    accounts against 5209R or 5210R servers.

    The updated modules now also allow you to specify which PHP method
    created Vsites should use and which PHP version should be activated
    (provided suPHP or FPM is used in the product).

    Additionally on products deployed via the 5210R WHMCS module you can
    choose which type of shell should be activated for the Vsite and the
    auto-created siteAdmin user:

    - None
    - Chrooted (SFTP SCP RSYNC)
    - Chrooted (Shell SFTP SCP RSYNC)
    - Full Shell Access

    In the 5209R WHMCS module the only available Shell options are (of
    course) still only "Yes" or "No", where "Yes" would mean a full shell if
    deployed against a 5209R.

    You *can* use the 5209R module to deploy products on a 5210R, but
    instead of a full shell a user would (at best) receive "Chrooted (SFTP
    SCP RSYNC)".

    The 5210R module *can* be used to safely deploy against 5209R servers,
    provided the checkbox for Shell isn't ticked in the product(s).

    As always: If you have any questions, then let me know here or offlist.

    With best regards
