In our list of Available Images in Clouding you have an image available with an Open Source control panel for website administration called OpenPanel.
With OpenPanel you will be able to manage multiple users on a GNU/Linux server easily, even in scenarios where it is necessary to combine isolation, security, performance, and a good user experience. This modern and flexible tool is designed so you can offer each user an environment similar to a VPS, with dedicated services such as PHP, MySQL, or Redis, and precise management of assigned resources, all from an intuitive, customizable interface accessible from any device.
In addition, with OpenPanel you will be able to work with popular technologies such as Apache, Nginx, Node.js, MariaDB, or WordPress, while applying advanced security measures such as two-step authentication, integrated firewall, automatic SSL certificates, and detailed access control.
Whether you choose its free (Community) version or the enterprise one with premium support, you will have a powerful solution to manage your servers with full control.
When you create a new machine with OpenPanel, keep in mind that the server is almost instantaneous, but it will take about 15 minutes to install all the panel components. Therefore, at the time you receive the e-mail with the server password, you will not yet be able to access the panel from the browser.
It is important that after installing OpenPanel you carry out the following steps to avoid problems in the future.
Enable port 2087 for the server
By default, port 2087 is not allowed in Clouding’s FW. It is the port to access the panel. To activate it, simply go to My Firewalls, in the FW configured for the server click the pencil icon and add the following FW rule (if you only want to access from your computer you can filter by IP):
Change Server Hostname
Something you will need to change is the server’s hostname. To do this, go to Settings - General Settings. In this section, the DNS address will appear by default, but you can change it to a domain or subdomain that points to the server.
Change Admin Account E-mail for Notifications
You will need to change the admin user’s e-mail account to be able to receive notifications. To do this, in the menu click on Notifications and then click on the Settings button. In that section, you can enter your e-mail inside the Email for notifications field:
Remember that to receive notifications, you must enable SMTP traffic on the server: Outgoing SMTP Traffic
Create User
During user creation, you will have the option to configure the web server that user will use. You will also have the possibility to select which package that user will use. If you want more information, this tutorial has more details on how to create a user.
