1Panel is an open-source Linux server management panel that combines traditional infrastructure administration with a lightweight AI management layer. Its web interface brings host monitoring, file and database management, containers, websites, SSL certificates, backups, and application deployment into one place, reducing the amount of command-line work needed to operate a Linux server.

The platform includes a curated application store with one-click installation and upgrades, Docker-based application management, security features such as WAF and log auditing, and backup integrations with external storage. Newer AI-oriented capabilities provide centralized management for models and agents, an AI gateway, and a Skills Hub, extending the panel from basic server administration toward a broader “metal-to-agent” management environment.

1Panel is aimed at self-hosters, developers, small teams, and organizations that want a modern alternative to conventional hosting panels while retaining control of their infrastructure. The open-source edition covers core server and application management, while commercial editions add capabilities such as advanced security, monitoring, unlimited agents, multi-node management, customization, and enterprise support.
