Looking for testers — help me break DockPanel
Hey,
Following up on my earlier post. Fair criticism was given, some real bugs were reported, and I fixed them. The Origin header injection vulnerability has been patched, registration is now gated, and the binary size claims have been corrected.
I'd like to keep that going. If you have a spare VPS you don't care about (Ubuntu 22/24 or Debian 12), I'd appreciate it if you could try installing DockPanel and let me know what breaks.
curl -sL https://dockpanel.dev/install.sh | sudo bash
Takes about a minute. Throws up a panel on port 8443.
Things I'm specifically looking for:
- Install failures on distros/providers I haven't tested
- Security issues (I'll credit you in the changelog)
- Stuff that doesn't work the way you'd expect
GitHub issues or just reply here, either works.

You are asking people to take time and effort to poke at a thing that you have spent zero time or effort on.
You’ve said yourself that you don’t really understand how your own project works. Given that, there’s not much point in repeatedly trying to fix things when most of your changes have just been moving buttons around.
It would be a lot more efficient to just ask for prompts you can paste into Claude instead of continuing to make random adjustments. That way you’ll actually get useful results without wasting more time.
There’s a pretty big difference between directing an agent to write code and iterating on it versus just asking it to build me a panel with no clue how it actually works.
When you’re iterating, you’re engaged in the process, you review outputs, understand what’s happening, and guide the next steps. You’re collaborating with the AI as a tool. But if you don’t understand what it’s producing, you can’t verify or improve it afterward. That’s not developing software, that’s outsourcing without oversight, and it’s why things start breaking the moment you make changes you don’t understand.
nice panel. does it administer multiple servers? central dockpanel server with agents on the other servers?
