What is aaPanel?

aaPanel is a free, lightweight server management panel popular for its simplicity. It supports Nginx/Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, and provides a one-click software installation system through its App Store.

Installation

On Ubuntu/Debian:

wget -O install.sh https://www.aapanel.com/script/install-ubuntu_6.0_en.sh && sudo bash install.sh aapanel

On CentOS/AlmaLinux:

yum install -y wget && wget -O install.sh https://www.aapanel.com/script/install_6.0_en.sh && bash install.sh aapanel

Initial Setup

After installation, the script displays your panel URL, username, and password. On first login, choose your software stack:

LNMP — Linux + Nginx + MySQL + PHP (recommended)
LAMP — Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP

Managing Websites

Add sites from Website → Add Site. Enter your domain, select PHP version, and optionally create a database. aaPanel generates the Nginx/Apache configuration automatically.

App Store

The built-in App Store lets you install Redis, Memcached, MongoDB, Node.js, Python, Java, and dozens of other tools with a single click. Each application can be managed (start/stop/configure) from the panel.
