Websites, databases, mail, DNS, backups and security on your own server, with every website in its own container. An open-source alternative to Plesk and cPanel that installs with one command.
Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+ · amd64 and arm64 · English, Spanish and Catalan
Built from scratch on containers, with nothing to license and nothing hidden.
openplexd is a single Go program with the dashboard built in and its state in SQLite. The server only needs Docker.
Each website runs in its own container, as its own user, on a private network per account. One customer can't read, reach or slow down another.
Certificates for every website, alias and the panel itself, obtained and renewed automatically.
AGPL-3.0, signed releases and one-click updates that roll back on their own if something fails.
From your own websites to a server full of customers.
PHP 7.4–8.4, Node.js, Python, Go or static. One-click WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, Git deploys, staging copies, redirects and logs.
A web file manager with an editor, SFTP with keys, and a terminal inside each website's container.
MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Redis, with Adminer, size limits and remote access over TLS for the addresses you allow.
Mailboxes, aliases and forwarding, with DKIM, SPF and DMARC set up for you, and Roundcube webmail.
Authoritative DNS, with a zone created for each of your domains.
Encrypted, deduplicated backups to a disk or S3 on a schedule. Restore a website, a database or a single mailbox.
A firewall with safe apply and rollback, Fail2Ban, two-factor authentication, login captcha and an audit log.
Administrators, resellers and customers with quotas. Share a website or a database with someone else.
CPU, memory, disk and network for the server and each container, with e-mail alerts when something goes wrong.
A clean dashboard in your language, in light or dark.
Every website, subdomain and alias with its runtime, HTTPS and status. Adding one takes its name: OpenPlex creates the container, the certificate and the DNS zone.
Files, settings, redirects, mail, DNS, terminal, Git, scheduled tasks, logs and backups: one tab each.
Create a MariaDB, PostgreSQL or Redis database and open it in Adminer with one click. Its size shows next to it, and a limit keeps it in check.
On a fresh server with a domain pointing at it, run:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/avakiam/openplex/releases/latest/download/install.sh \ | sudo bash -s -- \ --panel-domain panel.example.com --acme-email you@example.com
The installer sets up Docker, the OpenPlex service and the firewall, then prints the panel's address. Sign in as admin with the password in /var/lib/openplex/initial-admin-password.
Automation for providers: from the first boot of a server to the customer's invoice.
Install from cloud-init, or prepare a template image once: each server made from it gets its own keys, admin account and certificates when it starts.
Give each customer a one-time sign-in link to their new server, where they choose their own password.
Resellers manage their own customers, within the quotas you give them.
Everything the dashboard does, through the API with keys, documented endpoint by endpoint.
Accounts created when the order is paid and suspended when an invoice is overdue, plus a button to log in to the panel from the client area.
Choose which release your servers take. Signatures are always checked against OpenPlex's keys.
Install extensions from the OpenPlex Marketplace, such as Cloudflare to manage DNS and its proxy from the panel, or Guard to scan your websites for malware. Extensions are signed, install with one click and update from their card.
Free and open source. Install it on a fresh server in a few minutes.
