Introducing Cali Panel Developer Preview 2

With the release of the First Developer Preview 🎉, Cali Web Design has had some massive support with continuous updates and so we are continuing development with the next Developer Beta which is Cali Panel Developer Beta 2. This Developer Beta solves many issues there were in Developer Beta 1 and also has some new features.

Dropped features that won't make it

These features have been dropped due to technical limitations or the fact vendors don't have existing support for us to tap into.

Okta-based design was scrapped in the alpha release - UI Elements - 98820 - Made the panel UI based on salesforce.
Experian Credit Reporting and Credit Pulling - Financing - 6673920 - Can't obtain the API needed.
TransUnion Credit Reporting and Credit Pulling - Financing - 6673920 - Can't obtain the API needed.

Features that are missing

These are features that we have not developed yet that need to be added to the panel

The ability to see online or offline hosts, add new hosts, and control hosts via VMWare ESXi is broken. The panel should see if hosts are available and use any host that has available resources, if a host has less than or at 10GB of ram don't perform the action on that host and pick another, if non-other is available, then make a API call to OVH and request a dedicated server with the plan Advanced 1 with 128GB of RAM and 8TB of Storage.
The panel is missing the ability to back up services locally or remotely.
~~Ability to whitelist or blacklist using the employee side is non-existent.~~
~The ability for the panel to detect duplicate accounts and match them to existing files to allow the user to log in to just one online or profile doesn't exist.~
The ability to live chat with guests on websites that the panel manages as a business isn't integrated nor can the Cali Web Design Website report live chats to the panel nor can employees message clients from the panel.
~The ability to see and download or upload files to and from Cali Web Design or any other business just doesn't exist.~
Missing the ability to register domains, set hosting plans, and develop APIs as a client using Cali Cloud.
Missing the ability to view NGINX logs of client websites, and clients can't view their own website logs.
~Missing a Web-Based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) - Code Editor.~

Features that are broken

These features are present but aren't working as intended or are missing dependencies or other features that it relies/calls on.

The front end for host system status and OVH dynamic deployments is now present but incomplete.*
Cali Web Design Merchant Services can't issue invoices, view payments (all, specific or risky), missing a bunch of payment features.
The new email system is in but the ability to compose emails, mark junk, see junk, add emails, or view the system as a client amongst other things is broken and incomplete. The email system also fails to render certain types of emails typically marketing emails but some legitimate ones. This will be worked on.
~Rewrite the IP Checks that the panel does.~
~Website Editing Features.~
~The verification system to verify customer identities via ID Card, SMS Verification, or Security Questions is either non-existent or severely broken, Twillio does not work so SMS isn't working.~

Finish the brand new Calendar Module by adding the backend the front end is done.
Panel Installer
Staff and Client Message Center is not finished (The front end is now built)
~Account Management is unfinished~ (This is practically finished and just needs finishing touches)
~Leads Page, Contacts Page, and Campaigns on the admin side is unfinished.~
~Search Feature is present but useless as it does not work~

There are so many issues with this software. Please feel free to contact me if you want to help contribute or need a list of features I missed in this post. If you find new issues, please feel free to add them as a reply here.

The panel is easier to install now, DB SQL files are not included yet, but the installer script is public and the ENV samples are now included.

Disclaimers

DO NOT RUN THIS PANEL IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT, IT WILL NOT WORK. THE PANEL HAS CORE FUNCTIONS THAT DEPENDS ON NGINX AND LINUX, THE PANEL DOES NOT USE APACHE.

Timeline and Support

The foreseeable timeline when this will be released to public testing is within the next 3 -4 months. We don't recommend anyone to install this software until public testing unless you are a developer and are willing to deal with the broken parts or unsupported parts. We will only help internal developers who are actively working on this software as of now.
