Which open-source panel that does exactly what I want?

    They are not open-source. I need open-source

    Why?

    HestiaCP is not the right choice for you. It's not a beginners panel but aims to be a daily tool for experienced linux admins. Unless you feel confident to configure apache, nginx and mysql to your needs via CLI by yourself and actually understand how that panel works so you can tailor it to your needs - it's the wrong one.

    If you come over to our forums and start crying about it, I will tell you exactly that.

    I understand that this isn't the comment on your topic you wanted to get, because you are not looking for advice but rather just agreement for a prebuild opinion.

    You should give keyhelp a chance as other suggested. While it is not opensource it definitely ticks much more checkboxes for your needs based on your history with webhosting.

    Thank you

    Technically, I am fine with FastPanel, but I don't want to use a commercial or closed-source control panel.

    Technically, I am fine with FastPanel, but I don't want to use a commercial or closed-source control panel.

    What is the reason for that? Are you actually able to read and understand code, so that you can debug problems? Or is it more the feeling of "someone else has probably looked at it and therefore it feels safe"?

    Don't get me wrong, no offense meant, just trying to understand your rationale...

    Hestia is a good option.

    It's a very popular panel here on LET, so, if you've got any issues or questions, chances are you can post a thread here and get some quick and helpful support.

    The upcoming update looks great too. I'd love to think the cPanel and DirectAdmin importer will help folks move away from some of those products...

    I used VestaCP a few years ago.
    Hestia is a fork.

    I installed Virtualmin on one of my VPS for testing. Now I will install Hestia on a VDS

    Wonder why they don't support MySQL and instead install MariaDB.

    You can use MySQL also, if you really want, but most distros switched to mariadb as default quite some time ago and Virtualmin usually just installs distro defaults.

    Virtualmin consumes too many server resources.

    If you consider 50MB too much, then sure.

    Virtualmin is 2big:

    Webmin/Virtualmin: Ubuntu 22.04.5 - 7.81 GB used

    HestiaCP: Debian 12 - 3.17 GB used

    I managed to install HestiaCP on a 512 MB vps at MicroLXC

    You are doing something wrong. I just tested and it takes 1-1.2 gb roughly on a newly installed server. This includes MySQL server

    I don't think he is talking about RAM usage, but just looking at the output of df -h and not even taking into account that different OS might have a different footprint before the panel and related package installation...

    mind the tech level we are looking at here ;-)

    Yes, right now I'm talking about the SSD disk — how much space Virtualmin takes. I'll mention the RAM later. And instead of Ubuntu 22, I'll install Debian 12 so everything is the same.

  • arnoldzarnoldz Member

    I thought that Ubuntu 22 and Debian 12 take up approximately the same amount of disk space.

    I'm currently using FastPanel, but I would like to try an open-source, free, reliable, lightweight, and low-resource consuming (CPU, RAM, disk) VPS/VDS control panel. So far, I'm considering HestiaCP (I used VestaCP a few years ago). Please, recommend a panel. My main needs are adding and configuring websites and email.

    HestiaCP is a solid choice, and you might also want to check out Ajenti or CyberPanel they're lightweight and user-friendly. both of them should help you manage your websites and emails with ease.

    You're still getting this wrong: Virtualmin itself doesn't take that much space

    Virtualmin, like many other control panels, are intended to be used with a fully capable OS, so they (by default) install many packages from the OS distribution, and this big group of packages occupies a lot of space

    One can modify the defaults so that fewer packages from the OS distribution are installed, but this would result in a less-than-fully capable OS

    First of all, this is a Russian, not an Estonian panel. Pavel Gavrilin, a Russian, is the owner. They initially focused on hosting for Russian users and later created this panel for themselves. Here’s their site, FASTVDS from 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110101155653/http://www.fastvds.ru:80/

    Where is the company legally located? They do not cooperate with the KGB, but they only have legal websites.
