Works with your stack
Control your entire infrastructure
Built for developers who want full control without the cloud bill or the ops complexity.
Project & Service Management
Group services into projects. Deploy Docker Compose stacks and monitor container status in real time.
One-Command Install
Install the CLI from npm, run `devpanel install`, and you're live. No Kubernetes, no cloud account required.
Domain & SSL Automation
Add custom domains with automatic Cloudflare DNS and Let's Encrypt certificates. Zero nginx config.
Multi-Server Support
Manage multiple remote servers from one dashboard. Each server auto-starts a lightweight agent via Docker.
Live Logs & Metrics
Stream container logs and view CPU, memory, and disk usage — without SSH-ing into your machines.
Encrypted Secrets
Environment variables are encrypted at rest. Secrets never leave your infrastructure.
Notifications
Get alerted on deploy completions, service crashes, and agent status changes in real time.
First-Run Setup Wizard
No configuration files. Visit the dashboard and DevPanel walks you through setup in seconds.
REST API
Full programmatic access to every resource. Integrate DevPanel into your own scripts and CI/CD pipelines.

Frequently asked questions
Is DevPanel really free?
Yes. DevPanel is free to use with no paid tiers, no usage limits, and no telemetry. You run it on your own infrastructure.
What are the system requirements?
Docker Engine 24+ and Docker Compose v2. Works on Linux (x86_64 / arm64) and Windows 10/11 with Docker Desktop. Minimum 1 GB RAM.
Can I manage remote servers?
Yes. SSH into your remote server, run the agent Docker command with your DevPanel URL and server token, and it appears in your dashboard within seconds.
How are my environment variables stored?
Secrets are encrypted with AES-256 before being written to PostgreSQL. The encryption key lives only in your .env file on your machine.
Does DevPanel support multiple users?
Currently DevPanel is designed for a single admin user or small trusted team. Multi-user RBAC is on the roadmap.
Can I use my own Docker Compose files without changes?
Yes. DevPanel uses standard Docker Compose v2 syntax. Any valid compose.yml works without modification.
