Free? HestiaCP
Hestiacp is good.
1panel
Nothing is free
. You can use aapanel !!
just vibe one
Cloud Panel, it's already in your title.
Easypanel is generous in free tier. Only platform that guarantees security too
I'm personally using CyberPanel
Use 1Panel, it's good
1panel
( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) sending bad vibes ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
i think CyberPanel
And call it DockPanelica
shell prompt>
since a lot of you guys are saying HestiaCP i guess HestiaCP it is.
For free I would prefer CloudPanel but maybe check my signature
Try the Flash panel in my signature.
By far the best aapanel.
If it weren't from China, everyone would recommend it.
True. It's a good panel/software and would be my pick for someone who want a "AIO" option.
I don't recommend Cyberpanel.
I have seen the demo, but I think there are not all the options available in Easypanel !!
Options?
You should just install it and play with it. Takes 5 second really.
I will give it a look !!
The best free panel is the absence of a panel.
As a stallion coder, we deploy all websites with Caddy server, in which the Caddyfile of each website is included as part of the website source code.
Since Caddy is composable, uploading the website would finish the deployment, no extra panels necessary.
since when is configuration data source code?
+1 for cloudpanel if you don't need email.
CloudPanel/AAPanel if you're managing your own sites.
HestiaCP, if you want to have multiple users, I usually apply my modification to have Redis per user via Unix.
Since 2006 for the wider industry:

Since 2009 for MSN China, when I took over the website deployment review process at the company where I was an OPS intern, but it was IIS not Caddy.
Since 2017 for us:

call my old fashioned but configuration is not code.
I rather have a versioned Infra as Code that a bunch of manual steps clicking and copy paste and merging files that most likely will be missed or misplaced during deploy.
I've seen too many times that and spend hundreds of hours trying to find why my code passed acceptance to fail in Prod only to find out that the deployment procedure wasn't followed properly.
