Hello,

Thanks to everyone who has attempted installing over the past few days. We know you have all hit a few bumps. We have tracked most of these down to the installer. With a lot of testing and help from our community we have finished a new release that solves all of the known out of the box issues.

Those of you attempting to use the system have probably not had much luck with the key generation problems. It would be viable to do a reinstall of the system which will provide updated OS templates, fixed key generation and a fix to a nasty sudo bug that we discovered on the VM installation.

Reinstallation is simple please view the following guide for a how to.

Thanks

Hello,

With the offical release of Panenthe 1.0.0 we have also issued trial license keys that will let anyone try our solution. The keys are good for the following.

5 Virtual Machines

15 Days

To obtain a trial key visit the order form and signup for an account. Once logged in to an account simply add the IP of the host node to your account and dont purchase any licenses. Once installed the server will automatically install the trial key on the first run.

We offer unlimited support during the trial period so we can answer any questions you may have.

Thanks
