Cloudomate

Cloudomate logo

Cloudomate is an unpermissioned open compute API which provides an automated way to buy VPS instances and VPN servers from multiple providers. The easiest way to use Cloudomate is via the command-line interface.

• Python 2 or 3
• Works on Linux, Mac OSX, BSD
• An active Electrum wallet with sufficient funds

The project can be installed through pip:

pip3 install cloudomate

Currently the following VPS providers are implemented:

BlueAngelHost https://www.blueangelhost.com/
linevast https://linevast.de/
hostsailor https://hostsailor.com
twosync https://www.2sync.co/vps/ukraine/
qhoster https://www.qhoster.com/
orangewebsite https://www.orangewebsite.com/
UndergroundPrivate https://undergroundprivate.com
routerhosting https://routerhosting.com/
CCIHosting https://www.ccihosting.com/
libertyvps https://libertyvps.net/
proxhost Proxmox provider emulation

This same list can be accessed through the list command:

cloudomate vps list

Currently the following VPN providers are implemented:

azirevpn https://www.azirevpn.com/
mullvad https://www.mullvad.net/

This same list can be accessed through the list command:

cloudomate vpn list

The stability of cloudomate depends on its ability to read and fill in registration forms on the provider webpages. Not all providers offer the same forms and differ in functionalities (user may not be able to send their chosen root password during registration). The following table depicts the current state of the providers that have been implemented in Cloudomate.

Incompatible providers need to be fixed in order for them to work. The providers were not removed as there is a possibility that they could be fixed later on.

Control panel is the added feature for some providers, allowing Cloudomate to change settings such as TUN/TAP for VPN. The control panel could be further implemented to be able to change more settings.

ClientArea The client area contains general information such as the VPS’ IP address and access to emails.

Email parsing With extended ClientAreas, emails can be parsed to gain access to the control panel.

For some commands, mainly purchase, user configuration is required. The main way to do this is through a configruation file. For Linux, the default location for the configuration file is $HOME/.config/cloudomate.cfg.

A configuration file looks like this:

[user]
email =
firstname =
lastname =
password =
companyname =
phonenumber =
username =
[address]
address =
city =
state =
countrycode =
zipcode =
[payment]
walletpath =
[server]
ns1 =
ns2 =
hostname =
root_password =

Section can be overridden for specific providers by adding a section, for example a [linevast] section can contain a separate email address only to be used for Linevast.

Use the purchase command to purchase a VPS instance. An account is created and the instance is paid through an Electrum wallet.

$ cloudomate vps purchase linevast 0

Purchase this option? (y/N)

Additionally, a randomuser could be generated for a purchase:

$ cloudomate vps purchase linevast 0 --randomuser

The configuration file is stored in ~/.config/cloudomate.cfg.

For ProxHost, a server could be bought using testnet Bitcoins:

$ cloudomate vps purchase proxhost 0 --testnet

The following functions can be used to manage a purchased VPS instance

status Get the status of the service.
info Get information of the specified service
setrootpw Set the root password of the last activated service.
getip Get the ip of the specified service.

The following functions can be used to manage a purchased VPN instance

status Get the status of the service.
