## Introduction
1Panel is an open-source, modern Linux server management panel built with Go and Vue 3. It provides a web-based interface for managing Docker containers, websites, databases, cron jobs, and system security on any Linux server without deep command-line expertise.

## What 1Panel Does
- Manages Docker containers and Compose stacks through a visual interface
- Provisions and configures websites with automatic SSL via Let's Encrypt
- Handles database creation and backups for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and more
- Provides a built-in app store with one-click installs for popular self-hosted software
- Monitors server resources (CPU, RAM, disk, network) with real-time dashboards

## Architecture Overview
1Panel is a single Go binary serving a Vue 3 frontend. It communicates with the Docker daemon locally to orchestrate containers, uses OpenResty as the reverse proxy for hosted sites, and stores its own metadata in a local SQLite database. The lightweight design means minimal overhead on the host system.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Supported on major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Rocky)
- Runs as a systemd service; default port is configurable during install
- All managed data stored under /opt/1panel by default
- Multi-user access with role-based permissions
- Automatic backups can target local, S3-compatible, or SFTP destinations

## Key Features
- Docker-first: every app runs containerized, keeping the host clean
- Built-in firewall management with fail2ban integration
- App Store with 100+ community-maintained packages
- Host file editor and terminal access from the browser
- Internationalized UI with English and Chinese support

## Comparison with Similar Tools
- **CasaOS** — simpler dashboard focused on home use; 1Panel targets full server administration
- **Cockpit** — Red Hat's modular server UI; less Docker-centric
- **Portainer** — container-only management; 1Panel also covers websites, DNS, and system ops
- **cPanel/Plesk** — commercial panels; 1Panel is fully open source and free
- **Webmin** — legacy Perl-based admin; 1Panel offers a modern UX

## FAQ
**Q: Does 1Panel support ARM architectures?**
A: Yes, official builds are available for both amd64 and arm64 Linux systems.

**Q: Can I migrate existing Docker containers into 1Panel?**
A: 1Panel can detect and import running containers that were created outside its app store.

**Q: Is there a built-in backup scheduler?**
A: Yes, you can schedule full or incremental backups to local storage, S3, or remote SFTP targets.

**Q: Does it support multiple domains and SSL certificates?**
A: Yes, the website module handles virtual hosts and automates certificate issuance and renewal via ACME.
