What is this?
AZERIOID Stack Manager is a self-contained stack manager and web control panel for operators who run sites on a single Linux server. It bootstraps Caddy, a dedicated PHP-FPM pool and a SQLite-backed admin UI, then lets you add web servers, databases, cache, mail, Node.js and rootless Docker on demand.

It runs on Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12/13, AlmaLinux/Rocky/CentOS Stream 9+, and RHEL/Oracle Linux 9+; Fedora is explicitly not supported.
