How WolfPanel Works
An honest, lightweight server control panel designed for developers.
Architecture Overview
WolfPanel uses a modern agent-based architecture to manage your servers securely. Unlike legacy control panels, we don't host the control panel interface on your actual server, nor do we keep a database of panel logins on your machine.
Instead, a lightweight agent is installed on your server. This agent initiates an encrypted, outbound connection to our central controller. You manage all your instances from our hosted dashboard, while your server resources remain focused on serving your applications.

Core Mechanics
Single Command Setup
Installs a small agent (Python standard library, systemd service) with one command on a Linux server; Ubuntu or Debian recommended.
Outbound WebSockets
The agent initiates connections, meaning you do not need to open any incoming administration ports on your firewall.
Scoped Team Access
Accounts and servers are kept apart, and team members can be limited to specific servers, sites and command categories.
