Can’t remember if someone posted it here or the other forum, but it’d be nice to have a dashboard where you enter all your paid services with all info (price, renewal date, payment period, etc). Idea would be to use this dashboard to know what bills are coming up and to stay organized when you have a shit ton of servers spread out across many providers all with different billing dates and terms.
Excel/spreadsheets is a sufficient solution, but could definitely be achieved via a web app of some sort. Something similar to DomainMOD, but abstracted to handle any type of service.
I remember seeing the suggestion and considered building something myself. After doing some research though, it turns out that similar platforms already exist
What about one that not only keeps records of your instances/servers but also assists spinning new ones?
One step further , allow to group instances of diferent p oviders into groups. Think hetzner project but without the limitation of being all hetzner instances.
Someone made something that allows you to spin up instances across providers…can’t remember who though.
This would be pretty simple to build. If there’s enough interest, I’d look into it. I do already have plans to build something similar to this, but a significantly more fleshed out version with a lot of additional functionality. Maybe I’ll get around to it, one of these days
That would be amazing.
At some point I’ve failed to keep track of expenditures.
Edit :
Would it be questionable to have that node js project that monitors hetzner sb to hunt for dedis to automate the purchase of them?
Well, not really. People could still use this thread for ideas in the future Just because there isn’t a decent contribution on the first day, doesn’t mean that the thread is dead and useless.
