Your First VPS
Once the panel is up, go to Virtual Machines → Create VPS. You'll need at minimum:
- A name and hostname for the guest.
- An OS template - Virtlix ships with common templates pre-listed; the first one you pick downloads and caches on first use, so it'll take a minute or two, after which every future VPS on that same OS is near-instant (guests are copy-on-write overlays on top of the cached base image).
- CPU / RAM / disk sizing, and an owner if you're creating it on behalf of a reseller or end-user.
- Either an SSH key or a root password for initial access.
IP assignment is automatic from whatever's free in your IP Pool unless you pick one manually. Once created, the VPS shows a creating status while the disk is built and cloud-init runs, then flips to running.
From the VPS's own page you get console access (noVNC), a web terminal, and controls for start/stop/reboot/reinstall - everything you'd expect without needing to touch virsh directly.
