Introducing RAYXO

Today we’re opening rayxopanel.com, the new home of RAYXO: a free, open-source hosting panel for Ubuntu servers.

Why RAYXO?

Managing websites on a VPS usually comes down to two options: typing everything yourself in the terminal, or paying for a panel license per server every month. For VPS owners and small hosting providers, neither is ideal.

RAYXO tries a third way: a modern panel whose code you can read, with no license fees.

What you can use today

The latest release already covers the core needs of website hosting:

• Domains, subdomains, and pointers, with 301/302 redirects and forced HTTPS.
• PHP 7.4 to 8.5 per domain, each with its own PHP-FPM pool and php.ini settings.
• Automatic Let’s Encrypt SSL, or your own certificate, such as a Cloudflare Origin certificate.
• MariaDB databases and one-click phpMyAdmin.
• Encrypted FTP and SFTP, locked to the account’s folder.
• Cron jobs, hosting packages, and per-account disk and inode quotas.
• 2FA, passkeys, and an audit log for security.

Everything installs with a single command on Ubuntu 24.04, on both amd64 and arm64 servers.

What’s coming

A file manager in the browser and a service monitor page with a watchdog are finished and will ship in the next release. After that, our focus is a DNS server, email hosting, backups, and a reseller level.

RAYXO is still at version 0.x, so expect changes and rough edges. We want to be upfront about that: try it on a fresh server first, and keep your own backups before moving customer websites.
