Introduction

KiwiPanel

⚠️ WARNING: PRE-ALPHA RELEASE — DO NOT DEPLOY TO PRODUCTION

KiwiPanel is a lightweight, open-source server control panel focused on simplicity, transparency, and sane defaults.

It is designed to help you manage a LOMP stack (Linux, OpenLiteSpeed, MariaDB, PHP) without bloat or lock-in.

Built for Developers & VPS Users

KiwiPanel is written primarily in Go, with a strong emphasis on:

• Minimal resource usage
• Clear system visibility
• Scriptable and inspectable behavior
• Clean separation between the panel and the server stack

It is designed for:

• Developers who want full visibility into how their server works
• VPS users who prefer lightweight tooling over heavy abstractions
• System administrators who value reproducibility, auditability, and control
