Ask HN: Light Weight Server management panel?
Hey HN,
Im setting up a VPS for a designer friend of mine. He is lightly comfortable with the terminal, but asked about a control panel to manage tasks like email, dns, etc.
What are my options? Ideally I want something that is MIT licensed, light on ram & cpu, and easy to customize.
I found http://ajenti.org/# as well as zpanel, ISPconfig, and webmin.
What are the other options out there? Any good open source projects I should look at?
- omgmog 14y agoI've used webmin, but found the management of virtual hosts/apache to be quite clunky, and on a low-end (256mb ram) VPS it's a bit too heavy to run all the time. However, if you've got multiple VPS, and multiple webmin installations, it does a nice job of letting you tie them all together, for example having a separate VPS for mailserver, webserver, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the replies/suggestions this question gets!
