About this project

1Panel is a modern, open-source Linux server management panel that also positions itself as a lightweight AI management platform. It is installed on a Linux server via a shell script and then operated through a browser-based interface, with access credentials retrievable over SSH using the 1pctl command. Core capabilities described in the README: - Visual server operations: manage Linux hosts through a web GUI, covering host monitoring, file management, database management and container management. - Website deployment: integration with popular site builders such as WordPress and Halo, with one-click domain binding and SSL certificate configuration. - App store: a built-in catalog of open-source applications with one-click installation and upgrade; the README states 165+ apps. - Security: applications are deployed on container technology to reduce vulnerability exposure, and the project lists WAF and log auditing among its security features. - Backup and restore: one-click backup and restoration with integration to multiple cloud storage solutions. - AI management: a unified platform spanning bare metal to agents, integrating an AI gateway and a Skills Hub, with centralized management of agents and models. The README includes a comparison table against cPanel/Plesk, aaPanel and Webmin, highlighting free and open-source licensing, AI management, an app marketplace, a modern UI, Docker/container management and active development. These are the project's own comparative claims, not independently verified benchmarks. A Pro/Ent edition is offered alongside the free OSS edition. The README's feature table lists WAF and advanced security, website tamper protection, uptime monitoring, multi-node management, custom logo and theme, KVM Web UI, AI Gateway and priority support as Pro or Ent additions, while OSS is described as free forever. The OSS edition is noted as supporting 5 AI agents (OpenClaw), with unlimited agents in Pro. Community resources include a Discord server, documentation at 1panel.pro/docs, and GitHub Issues for bug reports. Security vulnerabilities should be reported according to SECURITY.md.
