Hi everyone,

I have released a ProcessWire module for KeyHelp:

https://github.com/mxmsmnv/KeyHelp

The module connects ProcessWire Admin with the KeyHelp REST API and allows managing common hosting tasks directly from ProcessWire.

It currently supports:

domains
clients
databases
email accounts
FTP users
SSL certificates
per-domain SSL / Let's Encrypt / HTTPS / HSTS settings
PHP settings
DNS records
cron jobs
server status and software information
API response cache with manual flush
sanitized debug logging
English and German UI text
multi-tenant and single-tenant modes

It also includes a ProcessWire installer for KeyHelp domains.

From ProcessWire Admin you can select a KeyHelp domain, choose ProcessWire stable or dev, and let the module:

download the ProcessWire archive
unpack it into the domain document root
create a KeyHelp database and database user
generate a random admin URL and strong credentials
run the ProcessWire CLI installer
store generated credentials encrypted with the ProcessWire site salt

The installer supports both local filesystem deployment and SSH remote deployment, so the ProcessWire admin site and the KeyHelp hosting server do not have to be the same machine.

There is also a GitHub module installer for existing ProcessWire installations. It checks the target ProcessWire site, downloads a GitHub repository archive, validates PHP syntax and copies the module into [c]/site/modules[/c].

Requirements:

ProcessWire 3.0.200+
PHP 8.0+
PHP curl extension
KeyHelp REST API access
KeyHelp admin API key

The module targets KeyHelp API 2.14 and [c]/api/v2[/c] endpoints.

I built and tested it against a real KeyHelp installation on a Hetzner test server. Feedback, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome.
