# 1Panel

> An open-source VPS control panel with native AI agent support for deploying local LLMs, managing Docker containers, and hosting websites from a single web dashboard.

1Panel is a modern, open-source VPS control panel built by LXware, the commercial partner of FIT2CLOUD's open-source projects. It is licensed under GPL-3.0 and positions itself as a cPanel alternative with native AI agent support — letting users run Ollama models, deploy OpenClaw agents, and manage their entire server stack from one web interface. The core OSS edition is free forever, with a Pro tier available for teams needing advanced features.

## What It Is

1Panel is a web-based Linux server management panel written in Go. It replaces traditional control panels like cPanel, Webmin, and Plesk with a modern UI that covers Docker container management, website hosting, database administration, file management, and — distinctively — an integrated AI agent runtime. Users install it on a Linux VPS with a single shell command and access it through a browser.

## AI Agent Runtime and the OpenClaw Ecosystem

The feature that most differentiates 1Panel from comparable panels is its native AI stack. From the dashboard, users can:

- Deploy and manage Ollama-hosted local LLMs (DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemma, and others)
- Spin up OpenClaw personal AI agents and manage MCP servers
- Monitor GPU utilization in real time
- Install AI-adjacent apps like MaxKB, n8n, New API, and UPage from the built-in app store

The OSS edition supports up to 5 OpenClaw agents; the Pro edition removes that cap.

## App Marketplace and One-Click Deployment

1Panel ships with a curated app store of 181 applications spanning databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse), DevOps tools (GitLab, Gitea, Harness), security (JumpServer, Casdoor, ZITADEL), media servers (Jellyfin, Navidrome), and more. Each app installs with a single click and supports automatic update management and data backup/recovery. Website deployment integrates directly with WordPress, handling domain binding and SSL certificate provisioning automatically.

## Architecture and Setup Path

1Panel runs on Linux distributions including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Rocky Linux, and supports server architectures x86_64, aarch64, armv7l, ppc64le, and s390x. Installation requires a minimum of 1 GB RAM and internet access. The one-line install script pulls and configures the panel in roughly 60 seconds. After installation, the panel is accessible via browser at the server IP and a security path generated during setup.

## Update: v2.2.2

The latest release is v2.2.2, published on June 16, 2026, on the `dev-v2` branch. The GitHub repository shows active development with the last push on June 19, 2026. The project has accumulated over 35,900 GitHub stars and the vendor-published homepage states 1,567,210 total downloads. The Pro edition's perpetual license explicitly covers all V2 updates, with major version upgrades (V3+) to be offered at a discounted price to existing holders.

## Tradeoffs to Know

The OSS edition is fully functional for individual self-hosters and covers Docker, website management, databases, firewall, SSH, file management, the app store, and scheduled tasks. The Pro edition adds multi-node unified console, advanced WAF and anti-tampering, website monitoring reports, cross-node file transfer, native iOS and Android apps, email/IM alerts, custom branding, and priority support. One Pro license is bound to one device at a time but can be deactivated and reactivated on another device. Activation requires access to the license verification service, so offline environments need a network proxy configured.
