Limiting server resources by storage used as opposed to account quantity

[dotScot Domains]

Hi folks,

Upon adding our first server to WHMCS I can see the maximum number of accounts option. While this would be great if we were only offering packages with very similar resource allocations, that isn't the case. Is it possible to set the maximum based on the storage used on the server instead?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Cheers,

Hello @dotScot Domains

Thanks for your post, at the moment it is not possible to set these based on storage usage, I can see how this would be useful thou and would recommend submitting a feature request or checking if one exists at http://requests.whmcs.com/

What you could do at the developer level is on AfterCronjob hook, get all active services for all servers you want to limit in such a way.  Run through each server's services and total up their disk space usage.  The WHMCS/Service/Service object gives the diskusage.  (Note, the server module used must support usageupdate functions)  Then if the server is at the max, set the server's max accounts to the current active accounts.  Thus you stay within the stock control built-in but also get your cake.  An addon would be the best method here so that you can control which servers or server groups get this limiting. 

The Server Allocator by Modulesgarden may allow doing this.
