Open-source hosting panel · Ubuntu 24.04
uAdmin
Web Infrastructure Manager
uAdmin is a web panel for administering Ubuntu 24.04 servers built for LAMP hosting — multiple web projects (WordPress, Joomla, custom PHP) on a single VPS or dedicated machine, without cPanel/Plesk licensing.
From one interface you manage projects, PHP-FPM pools, virtual hosts, MariaDB databases, FTP accounts, Let's Encrypt SSL, backups, firewall (UFW) and system maintenance. The UI is available in Croatian and English with built-in help on every module.
The panel is built with Laravel. Everything that touches the server goes through whitelisted shell scripts in /usr/local/uadmin/bin — no arbitrary command execution from the web UI.
Panel version 1.0.98 (2026-06-25)
What uAdmin offers
LAMP hosting, CMS projects and security — from a single interface.
Reverse proxy
Frontend Nginx on ports 80/443, project backends on localhost ports. Apache and Nginx projects together — centralized SSL and HTTP/2.
Installations (LAMP)
GUI stack install: Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM versions, MariaDB, Certbot, Adminer, vsftpd, UFW. Global PHP.ini and PHP extensions for Joomla/WordPress.
Backup & monitoring
Per-project file, database and config backups, SFTP archiving, restore, logs, audit trail and dashboard with server metrics (CPU, RAM, disk).
Panel & maintenance
OTA panel upgrades, OS apt maintenance, multiple admin users, UI themes, SMTP, panel hostname/SSL and contextual help.
Recovery
Web GUI and SSH tools for OTA rollback, maintenance mode, stack repair and password reset — even when the panel returns 503.
Architecture
Separate frontend proxy and per-project backend engines.
Internet → Frontend Nginx (:80 / :443) → Backend (127.0.0.1:PORT)
- Panel (Laravel) — Nginx + PHP-FPM on port 10001
- Web projects — Apache or Nginx backend on an allocated internal port
- Release model — /home/uadmin/releases/, OTA without data loss
- Scripts — bin/*.sh whitelist + sudoers, no shell access from the panel
Installation & documentation
New VM, OTA manifests, recovery and source code.
New VM (Ubuntu 24.04)
One-line install on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM:
curl -fsSL https://enc-it.hr/uadmin/install-uadmin-from-release.sh | sudo bash
After install open the panel, change the admin password and run Installations → stack wizard.
OTA manifests (Enc IT)

What is uAdmin?
uAdmin is an open-source oriented hosting panel developed at Enc IT for real production and test servers. The goal is to replace dozens of SSH steps with one interface.
Who it is for
- Web shops and agencies with multiple CMS/PHP sites on their own VPS
- Clients on managed hosting (/web/public_html layout)
- Staging/test environments before production
Source code: github.com/lahorenc/uadmin
Recovery (OTA stuck?)
If the panel returns 503 after an update, OTA hangs or you need to roll back — recovery tools work even when the main UI is unavailable.
Web GUI on the server (port 10001):
http://<server>:10001/panel-recovery/
Access token (SSH, root):
sudo cat /home/uadmin/shared/recovery-token
SSH commands (root):
sudo /usr/local/uadmin/bin/update-uadmin.sh status sudo /usr/local/uadmin/bin/update-uadmin.sh maintenance-off sudo /usr/local/uadmin/bin/update-uadmin.sh rollback sudo /usr/local/uadmin/bin/update-uadmin.sh repair sudo bash /usr/local/uadmin/bin/panel-recovery.sh
