iNetPanel

Host websites from home — securely, with no open ports.

iNetPanel is a free, open-source hosting control panel designed for home servers. It uses Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnels to bypass ISP limitations — no port forwarding, no exposed IP, no static IP required. Your server stays completely hidden while your sites are publicly accessible.

Release Channels

| Channel | Installer | Updates | Use case | |---|---|---|---| | Stable | inetpanel.info/latest | Tagged GitHub releases | Production servers (default) | | Beta | inetpanel.info/latest-beta | Latest code from main branch | Testing new features before release |

The stable installer downloads the latest tagged release. Updates are pulled from GitHub Releases only when a new version is published.

The beta installer clones the main branch directly. Updates pull the latest commit from main, which may include untested changes.

You can switch between channels at any time in Settings → Updates → Release Channel without reinstalling.

Why iNetPanel?

Most hosting panels assume you have a VPS with a public IP and open ports. iNetPanel is built for the opposite scenario — a machine behind a NAT, a dynamic IP, an ISP that blocks port 80/443. With Cloudflare Tunnels, your domains route through Cloudflare's network directly to your server. No firewall rules, no DDNS hacks, no exposed attack surface.

Add a domain, and iNetPanel creates the Linux user, Apache vhost, PHP-FPM pool, MariaDB user, SSL certificate, DNS record, and Cloudflare tunnel route — all in one click.
