Managing a VPS through raw SSH is efficient for experts but slow and risky for teams that only need websites, containers, backups, firewalls, and app installs. Traditional control panels can feel dated, expensive, or weak for Docker-first self-hosting.
The README claims 165+ trusted open source apps, including Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Umami, and NocoBase, installable and updatable from the dashboard.
1Panel lets operators create, start, stop, inspect, and manage containers, images, networks, and volumes through a visual UI.
Firewall rules, fail2ban, container isolation, WAF, audit logs, and scheduled backups to S3, R2, or local storage are built into the control panel workflow.
1Panel is better for Docker-first self-hosters who want a modern VPS dashboard, app marketplace, backups, and AI runtime support without traditional control panel licensing. cPanel is still stronger for shared hosting providers that need mature reseller, email, and legacy hosting workflows.
Run the official installer on a fresh Ubuntu or Debian server with root or sudo access. Install curl first if the host is minimal, then run the upstream setup script.
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y curl
bash -c "$(curl -sSL https://resource.1panel.pro/v2/quick_start.sh)"
```1Panel is an open source VPS control panel for websites, containers, apps, backups, and server security.
Yes. The README lists a marketplace with 165+ open source apps.
1Panel can replace cPanel, Plesk, aaPanel, or manual SSH workflows for many VPS self-hosting tasks.
