Satan

Thinking about Satan, think of the best service manager out there. We believe that CLI has always been more powerful than web panels. Without frills, without waiting for page reload, without stupid forms. Nice and neat. +1 to awesomeness.

Modules

Satan is divided into modules. Each module is responsible only for one service. Available modules are: mysql, pgsql, ftp, domain, vhost, dns, mail, backup, account.

Pure evil

How fast can you do that in a web panel?

Managing DNS zones:

$ satan dns list
example.com

Id      Record             Type   Resource
14139   @                  soa    internal
14140   @                  ns     ns1.rootnode.net
14141   @                  ns     ns2.rootnode.net
14878   @                  a      89.248.166.199
14879   ftp                a      80.11.22.33

$ satan dns del 14879
$ satan dns add a example.com ftp 80.1.2.3

Adding new domain and vhost:

$ satan domain add example.com
$ satan domain enable dns example.com
$ satan dns add a example.com ^ 89.248.166.199
$ satan dns add cname example.com + example.com

$ satan vhost init example.com
