1Panel
Backed by over 36,000 GitHub stars and 120 contributors with 123 releases since 2022, 1Panel has rapidly become the go-to open-source alternative to cPanel and Plesk for modern Linux server management. The platform delivers a clean Vue.js dashboard powered by a Go backend using the Gin framework, providing visual management of Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes without touching the command line. Its curated app marketplace offers one-click installation of 165+ trusted open-source applications including Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Umami analytics, WordPress, and NocoBase, each running in isolated containers for maximum security. Native AI capabilities set 1Panel apart from every competing panel: deploy Ollama LLMs directly from the dashboard, spin up OpenClaw personal agents, monitor GPU utilization, and manage AI models through a unified interface. Website management includes automatic domain binding, Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provisioning, and Nginx configuration with zero manual setup. Security runs deep with built-in firewall rules, fail2ban integration, container isolation, WAF protection, and comprehensive audit logging enabled from day one. Automated backups support AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and local storage with one-click restore from any snapshot. The panel supports Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Rocky Linux across x86_64, aarch64, armv7l, ppc64le, and s390x architectures. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Laranode
Built for self-hosted server deployments, Laranode transforms bare Linux installations into multi-tenant web hosting platforms with automated Let's Encrypt certificates and isolated PHP environments without recurring license fees. System administrators can provision isolated user accounts with dedicated document roots, configure custom domains, and deploy SSL certificates across all active websites in seconds. The integrated PHP manager enables per-site runtime isolation from legacy PHP 7.4 through cutting-edge PHP 8.5 releases, preventing version conflicts between separate production web applications. Operators can create MySQL databases, manage database users, inspect active connections, and adjust UFW firewall port access directly from the visual dashboard. An integrated browser-based file manager lets developers browse directories, edit configuration files, extract compressed archives, and modify file permissions without external FTP tools. Real-time telemetry monitors CPU utilization, memory consumption, disk capacity, and network traffic over customizable historical timeframes to catch bottlenecks early. Automated backup routines archive full accounts, individual websites, or specific databases to local storage, remote SFTP servers, or S3-compatible cloud object stores with point-in-time recovery verification. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
