Easypanel

Easypanel is a self-hosted server control panel focused on deploying and operating applications using Docker on your own VPS or bare-metal server. It aims to simplify common DevOps tasks—deployments, domains, TLS, logs, and service management—through a web UI.

Key Features

• App deployments from Docker images and Git-based workflows (build & deploy)
• Container and service management via a web dashboard (start/stop/restart, resource views)
• Domain routing and HTTPS certificate automation for apps
• Environment variable and secret-style configuration management per app
• Built-in logs access and basic runtime observability for deployed services
• One-click templates/managed add-ons for common backing services (e.g., databases/caches)

Use Cases

• Host multiple web apps/APIs on a single server with per-app domains and TLS
• Provide a lightweight “PaaS-like” deployment experience for small teams
• Quickly spin up app stacks with common dependencies (database, cache) on a VPS

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is primarily oriented around single-server Docker operations (not a full Kubernetes platform).
• Some advanced features and templates may depend on the vendor’s edition/licensing model.

Easypanel fits users who want a simpler alternative to manually managing Docker Compose and reverse proxies, while keeping control over infrastructure. It’s especially suited for straightforward web app hosting where a UI-driven workflow is preferred over bespoke scripts.
