What is this?1Panel is an open-source Linux server management panel and lightweight AI management platform: a web GUI that gives you one-stop control over servers, websites, apps and AI agents.
Is this something I install on the server, or an app for my own computer?It installs on a Linux server, and you manage everything from a browser-based web GUI — nothing needs to run on your local machine.
How do I get it running?Prepare a Linux server and run the official install script on it, then open the panel in your browser. If you lose your credentials, run 1pctl user-info over SSH to retrieve them.
What am I missing if I stick with the free version?Website tamper protection, uptime monitoring, multi-node management and custom branding require Pro; the AI Gateway and KVM Web UI are Enterprise-only. The free edition also caps OpenClaw agents at five.
Can I host a WordPress site with it?Yes — it deeply integrates with website builders like WordPress and Halo, offering one-click domain binding and SSL certificate configuration to significantly lower the barrier to website creation.
How does it compare to cPanel, Plesk or Webmin?By its own comparison table, it is the only one that is fully free and open source while combining AI management, a 165+ app marketplace, a modern UI and Docker container management; Webmin's development is slow and cPanel/Plesk are paid.
How does it keep my server secure?Applications deploy in containers to minimize vulnerability exposure, and the panel provides a WAF (advanced WAF is a Pro feature) plus log auditing. Vulnerabilities should be disclosed privately via SECURITY.md.
Does it back up my data?Yes — one-click backup and restoration is built in, with integrations for various cloud storage solutions so data survives even if the server is lost.
