With the recent announcement of the Hypernode-API beta we’re now also able to provide some tools to improve the way you manage your Hypernode on the command line. We’ve introduced the hypernode-systemctl tool to let you take control of certain settings of your node and to allow you to whitelist IP’s. This also provides a window for more automated management of your Hypernodes. Please note that this tool will be rolled out to all Hypernodes over the coming week.
Setting Hypernode settings
With the introduction of the hypernode-systemctl tool we now allow all of our customers to manage their Hypernode settings more freely. For some of these settings it was previously required to contact our support department to enable or disable certain features (such as Mozilla’s modern SSL ciphers, Redis sessions, and bigger MySQL tmp directories). We also allow you to set some settings which were already available for our Dutch customers in the Service Panel, but were not available for all of our international customers yet. Examples of these are setting the PHP version, enabling or disabling Blackfire and setting the correct values for Blackfire. If you want to find out more on how to use this tool take a look at our support documentation.
Whitelisting IP’s
With the introduction of the hypernode-systemctl tool we now allow all of our customers to make use of the whitelist functionality which our Dutch customers already had access to via the Service Panel, but was not available yet to international customers. Adding IP’s to this whitelist will allow you to manage access to your database, FTP and web application firewall (waf). For more information on how to use this tool you can check our support documentation.
