Adding VPSes to a private network

Feature RequestHardware and productsNetworking

Having the possibility of creating a non-routed private network to a number of VPSes would be lovely.
Allocating an RFC1918 subnet of an arbitrary size and then connecting it to another NIC on select VPSes in a dedicated vxlan would be greatly appreciated. It would save us from having to fight as hard securing our traffic on public interfaces, and could potentially even save us some traffic cost if the traffic is just internal.

    Allow adding server to private network from dashboard and api

    Currently, we have to contact support to add a server to a private network, which is a bit tiresome if you create and destroy a lot of servers or if you manage your servers using Infrastructure as code tools, so it would be great if you can add a server to a private network from the API as well as the dashboard

      Please see this Feature Request: https://feedback.webdock.io/feature-requests/p/manage-additional-products-directly-in-dashboard In there I already asked about this Add-On and I got the response it will come later down the line since its currently not well automatable.

      Oh believe me it is tiresome for support as well as the current steps are a bit convoluted and involved and take a bit of time - and if you have to be really careful while doing it as any typo or syntax error in one of the many steps can break the network. We are motivated to get this automated at some point.

      What’s the status of this?


      We’re starting a new project where we’ll need a private network, and according to the docs there “will be a self-managed private Vlan option in the future, hopefully sometime in 2024”

      Unfortunately the same docs also mention that the manual setup is not available anymore :-(
