Skip the shell and the configuration file: Webmin handles user accounts, disk quotas, services, and server software on Linux and Unix machines from a browser tab. More than 100 standard modules sit under seven menus: Webmin, System, Servers, Tools, Networking, Hardware, and Cluster. System covers Users and Groups, Scheduled Cron Jobs, Running Processes, System Logs, Log File Rotation, Disk Quotas, Filesystem Backup, and systemd Bootup and Shutdown, plus Software Package Updates, which can hold selected packages on APT and DNF systems. Servers edits Apache, Nginx, BIND DNS, Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL and MariaDB, and PostgreSQL through forms. Networking brings an nftables firewall editor, Fail2Ban jails, and IPsec VPN settings. Tools adds File Manager, Custom Commands, and a Terminal that opens right in the browser. Hardware lists firmware, PCI, USB, storage, and sensor details. The dashboard keeps live CPU, memory, and disk gauges, stats history graphs, and a pending updates alert in view. Webmin Users limits each account to the modules it needs, while two-factor authentication, IP access control, and SSL settings guard the panel itself. Cluster modules reach other hosts registered in the Webmin Servers Index and run cron jobs, shell commands, and package installs on many servers at once.

The extension system allows community plugins for Kubernetes management, Redis browsers, and WordPress site orchestration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Created in March 2026 and rapidly gaining traction in self-hosting communities, DockPanel delivers the most feature-dense free server panel available — 811 API endpoints, 153 one-click Docker app templates across 14 categories, and full multi-server management, all running on three Rust binaries consuming under 50MB of combined RAM. The panel handles the complete server lifecycle: sites with automatic SSL via Let's Encrypt, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases in Docker containers, Git push-to-deploy using Nixpacks for automatic language detection without Dockerfiles, blue-green zero-downtime deployments with automatic rollback on failed health checks, DNS management, mail servers, monitoring dashboards, and encrypted backups to S3, SFTP, Backblaze B2, or Google Cloud Storage. Security receives production-grade attention with per-image CVE scanning that gates deployments, a built-in WAF, passkey authentication alongside Argon2 password hashing, HttpOnly JWT sessions with blacklist-on-logout, rate limiting on auth endpoints, and fail2ban integration — all verified through an 18-vulnerability pentest with zero remaining issues. Infrastructure as Code support exports your entire server configuration to YAML, and the developer CLI provides status, diagnose, and export commands for automation. GPU passthrough enables AI workload hosting, reseller accounts support white-label branding for agencies, and ARM64 compatibility covers Raspberry Pi and Oracle Cloud free-tier deployments. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

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.

Infinite OS packs a complete hosting environment into a single Docker container, and you decide what it hosts after it starts. From the dashboard you add the runtimes, databases, domains, and applications that a normal image would have forced you to choose at build time. Open the Marketplace and WordPress, n8n, or dozens of other applications install in a few clicks, dependencies and services included, with a hostname and route created automatically. PHP, Node.js, Bun, Python, Ruby, and Java runtimes install on demand beside databases and workers, so one project runs its whole stack inside one environment. Public domains get free TLS certificates automatically, and changing the primary domain once updates the web server, PHP, and database records to match. The built-in web terminal needs no SSH setup, and a coding agent such as OpenCode can work there with the project files, runtimes, and databases within reach. A file manager, cron scheduler, PHP version switching, and per-route rate, bandwidth, and connection limits cover the daily work of running sites from the browser. Team accounts give each person their own login, and nearly every dashboard action has a matching CLI command and REST API call for scripting. Each project gets its own container with its own filesystem and services, so unrelated sites stay isolated while several lightweight environments share one machine. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. EPL 2.0 licensed.

Cockpit puts Linux server administration in a web browser, rendering storage, networking, containers, and virtual machines as visual panels you click through instead of command-line syntax you memorize. It ships in every major Linux distribution and activates through systemd socket activation, consuming zero resources until someone connects on port 9090. What makes it different from other admin panels: every change through the web interface appears instantly at the command line, and every terminal change reflects in the browser in real time. No abstraction layer sits between the UI and the operating system, which means no configuration drift. Storage management covers disk partitioning, RAID arrays, LUKS encryption, LVM volumes, and NFS shares. Network configuration handles bonds, bridges, VLANs, and firewall zones through visual editors. Native Podman integration pulls images, creates containers, manages pods, and provides terminal access into running processes. KVM/libvirt support handles VM creation, cloning, snapshots, and live migration with console access. A built-in terminal provides shell access when the web interface is not enough, and the journal viewer filters systemd logs by severity and unit. Multi-server management connects additional hosts over SSH, presenting a unified dashboard across your entire infrastructure from one browser tab. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with full root SSH access and browser serial console. LGPL licensed.

One 18 MB Go binary does the job of Apache, Nginx, Varnish, Caddy, and cPanel combined. Point UWAS at your /var/www directory and it auto-detects sites, provisions Let's Encrypt certificates, enables HTTP/3 via QUIC, and activates a two-tier caching engine with L1 memory shards and L2 disk storage, all before you write a single line of configuration. The React 19 admin dashboard provides 42 management pages for domains, PHP versions, databases, cron jobs, DNS records, file management, backup and restore, SFTP users, and uptime monitoring with real-time SSE updates. PHP sites run through FastCGI with connection pooling and full .htaccess compatibility, so WordPress, Laravel, and legacy applications work without migration effort. The built-in WAF catches SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, and shell exploits, while per-domain rate limiting and bandwidth caps protect against abuse. Reverse proxy mode supports five load balancing algorithms, circuit breakers, canary deployments, and mirroring for blue-green rollouts. Git deploy clones your repository, runs the build, checks health, and restarts the service with rollback on failure. An MCP server lets AI agents manage domains, cache, and deployments through natural language. The Nginx and Apache migration CLI converts existing configurations to UWAS format automatically. Deploy on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

VitoDeploy replaces a pile of SSH sessions and shell scripts with one browser tab for provisioning servers and deploying websites, on a control panel you host yourself. Spin up a server on AWS, Akamai (Linode), DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, or Proxmox in a few clicks. Attach any Ubuntu machine you already own as a custom server. Add sites built with PHP, Laravel, or WordPress, or run Node.js and Bun apps behind a reverse proxy. Pull code from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or Bitbucket. Set environment variables and HTTP basic authentication. Issue Let's Encrypt, wildcard, or custom SSL certificates. Create MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL databases, manage their users, and send backups to Amazon S3, Wasabi, FTP, SFTP, Dropbox, or local disk. Manage firewall rules, cron jobs, Supervisor workers, Redis, and multiple PHP versions from the same screens. Watch CPU, memory, and disk use for each server, then open a live SSH shell without leaving the page. Agencies split clients into projects, invite teammates as Admins or Users, and send alerts to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. Workflows automate deployments, backups, and maintenance. Plugins, DNS record management, export and import of your setup, and a REST API round out the toolkit. The panel itself needs only 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core, then manages your other machines over SSH. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Linux Update Dashboard is a self-hosted web app that lets you check and apply package updates across a whole fleet of Linux servers from one browser dashboard, over SSH, with no agent installed on any managed machine. It discovers each server's package managers, operating system, installed packages, reboot state, and distribution lifecycle, then lets you refresh, upgrade selected packages, run full upgrades, autoremove leftovers, cancel running work, or reboot remotely while watching real-time command output stream into the page. Groups with health badges and explicit priorities organize fleets for clear overviews and ordered Upgrade All batches that run as waves across eligible systems. An encrypted SSH credential vault stores reusable passwords, private keys, and OpenSSH certificates with AES-256-GCM, and you can view or edit repository source files through sudoedit with diff review and activity history. Cron-based schedules automate refreshes, updates, autoremove, reboots, and notifications for chosen systems, while alerts go out by email, Gotify, MQTT, ntfy.sh, Telegram, or webhooks, with Home Assistant MQTT discovery entities for every server. Sign-in supports passwords with optional TOTP, passkeys and WebAuthn, OpenID Connect SSO, and API tokens, and the interface speaks ten languages with dark and light themes and custom branding. Because this tool can run commands on your servers, keep it on trusted networks behind TLS, a reverse proxy, or a VPN. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Komodo puts every server, container, and deployment pipeline behind a single dashboard where you build, ship, and monitor Docker workloads across unlimited hosts. Lightweight stateless agents install on each connected server and report CPU, memory, and disk metrics back to the Rust-powered core, giving you real-time visibility without heavyweight monitoring stacks. Docker Compose stacks deploy directly from the UI or link to Git repositories with webhook-triggered automatic redeploys on push. A built-in CI pipeline compiles versioned Docker images from source, with optional AWS spot instances for burst build capacity. For orchestration at scale, Docker Swarm management handles node configuration, service deployment, and multi-node stack orchestration from the same control plane. Browser terminal sessions open persistent named shells on servers and inside containers, complete with shared team access and scriptable Actions that chain executions into multi-stage procedures. Infrastructure-as-code support defines all resources declaratively in TOML files within a Git repository, keeping production state version-controlled and auditable. Granular role-based access control with user groups, per-resource permissions, and OAuth through GitHub and Google keeps teams operating within defined boundaries. A full OpenAPI specification, dedicated CLI, and typesafe client libraries for Rust and TypeScript make programmatic integration straightforward. With 12,000+ stars and active development, the community continues expanding multi-architecture builds and Swarm tooling.

DCM is a visual builder that eliminates docker-compose copy-paste anxiety for home server enthusiasts. The TypeScript and Next.js web interface on port 7576 presents a curated catalog of popular self-hosted applications organized into categories: media management with Jellyfin, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr; dashboards like Homarr and Heimdall; databases including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis; monitoring stacks with Grafana and Prometheus; download clients like qBittorrent and NZBGet; security tools including Vaultwarden; storage solutions like Nextcloud; and home automation via Home Assistant. Select any combination of containers and DCM generates both compose.yaml and .env files with correct volume mounts, environment variables, PUID/PGID ownership, network modes, and port mappings — ready to paste into your terminal. Automatic port conflict detection identifies clashing services and reassigns ports before you ever hit a deployment error. The Template Gallery ships predefined multi-container stacks for common setups: media servers, development environments, database clusters, and monitoring solutions — some incorporating ten or more services in a single template. Built as a static Next.js export served from a 62 MB multi-arch Docker image supporting amd64, arm64, and arm/v7, DCM runs on everything from rack servers to Raspberry Pis. Share generated configurations via URL or download them locally. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Usulnet packs container management, Trivy security scanning, Nginx reverse proxy, scheduled backups, WireGuard VPN, firewall rules, and multi-node orchestration into a single 70MB Go binary with zero external runtime dependencies. Every module ships in one download with no paid tiers, no telemetry, and no edition gating. Container lifecycle management covers creation, start, stop, restart, pause, kill, and removal with bulk operations, real-time resource statistics, filesystem browsing, and settings editing. Trivy integration scans images and running containers for CVEs with severity scoring, generates SBOMs, and validates CIS benchmarks. The multi-node architecture supports standalone, master, or agent modes where agents connect over NATS JetStream with mTLS encryption, enabling remote Docker host management from a central dashboard. Reverse proxy configuration handles Nginx with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, TCP/UDP stream proxying, access lists, and dead host detection. Backup operations capture container volumes and Compose stacks on configurable schedules with retention policies and full restore capabilities. A built-in application catalog provides 60+ one-click templates for common services. JWT license validation uses an RSA-4096 public key embedded in the binary, requiring no call-home and working entirely offline. For teams tired of maintaining separate tools for each infrastructure concern, Usulnet collapses the entire stack into a single point of management with Docker Compose deployment alongside PostgreSQL, Redis, and NATS.

OmniSight ends the homelab ritual of a dozen admin panels open in a dozen tabs, each with its own login and its own idea of what healthy looks like. It folds all of them into one page that answers the only question you actually have: is everything fine? Watch Proxmox nodes with their VMs, containers, backup status, and Ceph health next to VMware hosts and datastores, Linux and Windows servers, and Kubernetes pods with live log viewing. Add Docker hosts and see container status, ports, resource use, and image updates, check OPNsense firewalls, TrueNAS and QNAP storage, and PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB databases without leaving the dashboard. A small push agent installs with one copied command and self-registers within seconds, needing no inbound firewall rules, so machines behind NAT report in on their own. Follow relationships on the topology map, restart a service from the detail view, export a full backup, and publish a read-only public status page for anyone who asks how things are running. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.

Keep every VPS, home-lab box, NAS, and router you run on one self-hosted dashboard, with a small agent on each machine reporting whether it is up and how hard it is working. Nezha tracks CPU, memory, swap, disk, load, traffic, process counts, and TCP and UDP connections on Linux, Windows, macOS, OpenWRT, and Synology machines, plus GPU and temperature where supported. Servers sort into groups and appear as cards, a list, or a world map, with live charts and, when the optional time-series database is on, 1, 7, and 30 days of history. HTTP GET, ICMP Ping, and TCPing monitors run from the servers you choose, chart latency and packet loss, and warn about HTTPS certificate changes and upcoming expiry. Alert rules watch offline servers, resource use, bandwidth, and cycle traffic limits, then message Telegram, Slack, Matrix, Feishu, DingTalk, or any webhook. A browser terminal and file manager handle quick fixes, while scheduled or alert-triggered tasks run backups, restarts, and scripts across many servers. DDNS updates Cloudflare, Tencent Cloud, or Hurricane Electric records when an agent's IP changes, and NAT traversal publishes a home router or NAS page on your own domain. Admin and user roles, scoped API tokens, and an optional MCP endpoint let people and AI tools list servers and run commands within their permissions. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
