How to choose self-hosted Administrative Utilities & Control Panels software

  1. Check project health. Stars show popularity, not maintenance. Open the source repository and look at recent commits and releases.
  2. Match the licence to your use. 12 use a GPL-family licence (copyleft, including AGPL) and 8 use a permissive licence such as MIT, Apache-2.0 or BSD. AGPL matters if you modify the software and offer it to others over a network.
  3. Pick a stack you can run. The most common platforms here are Docker (15), PHP (4), Shell (3) and Rust (3). Docker is usually the easiest path for a home server or VPS.
  4. Try before you migrate. Use a live demo where one exists (4 here), or a throwaway container first, and confirm it can import your existing data before switching.
