MODX Cloud: first review
unexpectedly issued an invitation to the beta of MODX Cloud. This is widely advertised the development of MODX Revolution with unprecedented opportunities. And in fact, advanced shared hosting with a single control panel with a bunch of sites on the cloud.
/ > In the future, this will allow us to rise above, and to centrally update the sites back up and just a pleasure to work with clients.
While Cloud in a state of closed beta, but I managed to see — and here's the review (in the post a lot of clickable pictures).
the
Control panel cloud is at dashboard.modxcloud.com.
The login window is very much like us MODX Revolution, and it is not casual. The cloud works exclusively with Revo, support Evolution and never will be.
The control panel looks very nice, like MODX accepted. Written in ExtJS 4.0.7, so, no failure from "slow" ExtJS is not in sight. Everything works quickly and smoothly.
The main menu consists of 3 items:
the
Home is a primary partition. On it you end up after login. It contains a log of recent events, favorites cloud and news.
Clouds — section upraleniya clouds. In the terminology of this system cloud a single site. Just made test1.bezumkinru.modxcloud.com about it later.
Vault storage. A very interesting thing. Here are all snapshots and backups of all your clouds. The difference between them is that the snapshot takes an image, which you can use to create a new cloud. And backup for restoration.
There is also a user profile, notifications, and credit card information.

So one cloud is one installation of MODX Revolution. After a lightning-fast installation, you have the cloud with some properties:
the
As you can see, has enough options to organize a pleasant experience for your websites now. Clouds can even be transferred to other accounts!.

the
To give the server access via SSH/SFTP. No FTP no, Apache2 I also noticed not — working with Nginx 1.2.2, probably in conjunction with php5-fpm. In General, to please conservatives, I have nothing, looks in the spirit that this article.
the
All tightly closed, see nothing. The root user is the directory above there is no access. Midnight Commander is also not — sorry.
In favor of the complete lack Apache2 says this:

That is, the rules of rewrite are for Nginx .htaccess is useless. Hello masters redirects via the web server, not the plugins!
the
Absolutely normal MODX Revolution 2.2.4, no special features. I was most interested in speed, so I put a few packs, sample clearance, and drove loadimpact.com
It is clear that the site is empty, no load and no complicated snippets. But it's good — we can see that the platform itself is not slow — and then it's up to the programmer.
In the admin area clear, so for me, no brakes.
the
This is just the first glance. For the second, more careful, need to raise a fully working project and drive it there for a month-another, with backups, raskovoi, load, etc. I Think it will be after the opening of the cloud in working condition — I have a few sites from which to move.
The potential of the platform is huge. I can't remember even the case that a CMS/CMF has grown into a hosting platform, but still a friendly! Throw Revolution is also no intention, after all he is the main workhorse of the project.
However, remember that MODX Cloud, in fact — featured shared hosting. Not resource, and the logic. It does not replace dedicated servers and VDS/VPS, you will not be able to reboot or put the server its ON (yet, anyway), or fine-tune Nginx.
But to launch the websites, stores, blogs, personal pages — easy and simple!
I'm sure this decision will save the headache of a huge amount of unadvanced users of MODX Revolution, which roam along the curves of hosting in search of speed and convenience.
It remains only to wait for the announcement of prices.
PS Smart people tell me how habré to align images in the center? And in the table on page align does not help. Still interested in how to remove the border from tables?

the Cloud
So one cloud is one installation of MODX Revolution. After a lightning-fast installation, you have the cloud with some properties:
the
-
the
- You provide a service, a cloud-based name, like c0067.paas3.tx.modxcloud.com. the
- Normal name, like test1.bezumkinru.modxcloud.com. Their names is impossible to designate a cloud is in beta. the
- SSH/SFTP access to the server. the
- Snapshots and backups. Schedules did not notice. the
- Monitoring. Also, still in its infancy. Graphics obviously for beauty — no units, no time. the
- Upgrade MODX installation
As you can see, has enough options to organize a pleasant experience for your websites now. Clouds can even be transferred to other accounts!.
