I'm quite familiar with Virtualmin. No problem whatsoever over the years.
So I recently decided to try Cloudmin before jumping on the bandwagon (I'm coming from Virtualmin from Wheezy though Jessie).
However I'm confused. Is Cloudmin GPL restricted to a single HOST System or is it in fact a single Master-Host System?
I was planning to use a "public could" VPS (also KVM) as the Master server and network it to the actual dedicated SINGLE Host system (that would provide Virtualmin guests) but I cannot find the said "Add System"?
i.e. "Adding a New Host System" https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/virtualization/kvm
(I am able to virtually "rack" said single VPS and dedicated instances).
Please advise
Many thanks
Cloudmin GPL only supports a single system...Master, host, everything, on one box. We haven't figured out another way to provide a clear value add for Pro (and we've gotta ring the cash register somehow to keep the lights on around here), so that's currently how we distinguish the two. I have been campaigning to change that so Cloudmin GPL can host across many systems just like Pro; but without a good story for how we encourage folks to upgrade, I don't yet have a good case to make for making that change.

And, to be clear:, Cloudmin Professional offers the following
Cloudmin Pro has a lot of cool features, is what I'm trying to say, and we probably are getting to the point where there's enough to differentiate it from GPL without having host/VM limits on the GPL version, and to convince a significant number of people to upgrade (if they know what it gets them).
