cPFence Good move! can't wait to try it out! Good luck for successful development!

Question regarding @cPFence:

Does cpfence --bulk-enable-dkim-cluster reset DKIM records if DKIM is already enabled or skips those?

cPFence

MediaServe

No, it doesn’t skip those. It triggers the API endpoint to update DKIM records even if they’re already enabled.

MediaServe

cPFence Well that means we can't use that I guess (like I just did yesterday lol.) We were hoping to use this for mass website moves. I would imagine it would be far better to check is DKIM is already enabled and then reset for those that aren't.

cPFence

MediaServe

In order to do that, we’d need two API calls, one to check if DKIM is enabled and another to enable or skip, which would make it a lot less efficient. We’ve been using it as-is with no issues, and it’s likely that the API endpoint already handles skipping internally. Might be worth checking with Adam to confirm how it behaves under the hood.

MediaServe

cPFence Well the default TTL is 1 day, so that's the problem. Takes about a full day before outbound sending works when the entire cluster is affected (for us anyway.) I wonder if we can override this with DNS zone templating? I'll have to check... We initially had problems with duplicate SPF records with a DNS template, but that's no longer a problem.

"Bulk" is the secret word in the new cPFence WebUI.
Because life’s too short to waste time on repetitive admin tasks. With cPFence bulk tools, you're entering a new era of server management convenience.

Meet the all-new, modernized cPFence Bulk Tools arsenal , built for speed, scale, and simplicity.

The cPFence Bulk Tools Arsenal

Some of our clients manage clusters with 100+ servers. Imagine how overwhelming that can get. That was yesterday.
Today, replicating cPFence settings across all servers is just one click away.

System Settings 1
System Settings 2

You can also edit all configuration files directly from one dashboard.
No more digging through SSH terminals server by server.

Edit Config Files

Since we launched the MonitorPro module, many clients reported great results monitoring their clusters on autopilot.
But the old editor? Let's just say it wasn’t winning any design awards.

Here’s the brand new MonitorPro editor , search, add, and edit your domains with ease.

Just a quick peek at what's coming. Stay tuned for more , the cPFence team is working day and night to bring this to production as soon as possible. The WebUI beta is getting closer to launch.

cPFence Wow, this is phenomenal. Looking forward to testing and using this soon!

@cPFence this is looking very nice.

So, one thing, when there are a LOT of buttons on a single screen, Tools and Utilities - they begin to all look like one big blue blur... might need some way to organize in sub/smaller groups or alternate color/shading

Love where this is going.

@[deleted] is there any estimated time when the first release will come?

I can’t give an exact ETA, but it’s coming soon, we’re aiming to release the beta version sometime in May. Our team is working full-time on it to make sure it runs smoothly even on large clusters, without putting any extra load on the main control panel server.

I've been using cpfence for a while now on almost 10 servers and am very happy so far. The support is excellent. Development speed and the ability to implement useful features will be key.

Thank you very much!

We are excited to announce that the cPFence Central Dashboard Alpha version is done!

The Alpha release is currently running smoothly on our internal test clusters only. This will soon be followed by a public Beta release available for download for all licensed clients.

All the features below can be run on a single server, across your entire cluster, or just on selected sites — your choice, full control!

Gone are the days of relying on tools like ManageWP or MainWP. With cPFence, you can manage all your WordPress sites across all cluster servers from one powerful dashboard — no setup needed.

Here’s a quick look at what’s coming:

@cPFence hello,
A little feedback for monitor pro:
Yesterday I was cloning a website and 10sec after I press clone on enhance I received an a email saying that this website is down. This should be delayed the check for this new website…
And 5minutes later cloning was complete but I didn’t get email that website is up straight away I received after 25 minutes saying it’s been offline for 24 minutes but actually I could browse the website once cloning gets done 5(minutes).
So maybe needs little adjustments there…
Thank you

cPFence

Kosta

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, as soon as you add a new website, MonitorPro automatically picks it up and adds it to the monitoring queue. If the initial check fails, it retries once more, and if it still can't reach the site, it marks it as down and sends a notification. We'll consider introducing a delay for newly added websites in a future update.

The checks run every 5 minutes by performing a curl request from your main control panel IP. Whatever is shown from the main CP IP is exactly what MonitorPro sees. Sometimes, when DNS isn't fully propagated, you might see different results from different locations until the propagation stabilizes.

Curious for the open beta !

We’ve already moved from alpha to beta, and it’s now running live on our production servers. Just ironing out a few UI glitches to make it fully mobile-friendly, then we’ll release it for public beta. Stay tuned!
