My idlers

A self-hosted web app for displaying, organizing and storing information about your servers (VPS/Dedi), shared & reseller hosting, seedboxes, domains, DNS and misc services.

Despite what the name infers this self-hosted web app isn't just for storing idling server information. By using a YABS output you can get disk & network speed values along with GeekBench 5 & 6 scores to do easier comparing and sorting. Of course storing other services e.g. web hosting is possible and supported too with My idlers.

• Domains CRUD operations and validation
• DNS records CRUD operations and validation

Unit Tests:

• Pricing model (cost calculations, term conversions)
• Settings model (sorting/ordering logic)
• Labels model (assignment operations)
• IPs model (IPv4/IPv6 handling)
• DNS model (type constants)

Run tests with:

vendor/bin/phpunit
# or with testdox output
vendor/bin/phpunit --testdox

Database Seeding

The seeder is split into two parts:

Core data (always seeded): Settings, Providers, Locations, OS, Labels - required for the app to function.

Demo data (optional): Admin user and sample services (servers, domains, shared hosting, etc.)

# Fresh install (core data only - recommended for production)
php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

# Fresh install with demo data
# First add SEED_DEMO_DATA=true to your .env file, then:
php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
SEED_DEMO_DATA	false	Set to true to seed demo user and sample data during migrate:fresh --seed
MAX_USERS	0	Maximum number of users allowed to register. 0 = unlimited

Demo Login Credentials

When SEED_DEMO_DATA=true is set, a demo user is created:

Email	Password
admin@admin.com	password

Please run the following if updating from an existing install:

composer update
php artisan migrate
php artisan route:cache
php artisan cache:clear

Adding a YABS benchmark

yabs.sh now has JSON formatted response and can POST the output directly from calling the script.

With My idlers you can use your API key and the server id to directly POST the benchmark result

https://yourdomain.com/api/yabs/SERVERID/USERAPIKEYISHERE

Example yabs.sh call to POST the result:

curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -s "https://yourdomain.com/api/yabs/SERVERID/USERAPIKEYISHERE"

Notes

Public viewable listings

If enabled the public viewable table for your server listings is at /servers/public You can configure what you want viewable at /settings

Due date / due soon

This is simply just a reminder. If the homepage is requested (viewed) when a service is over due date it will get reset to plus the term from the old due date.

E.g if the term is a month then the due date gets updated to be 1 month from the old due date.

Supporting YABS commands:

curl -sL yabs.sh | bash

or

curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -r
