What is the best web server panel for Ubuntu?

Question

linux

Actually, you need to put a web server on your computer. I chose Linux Mint (the server will be not only for hosting sites, but also for other purposes, without gui in any way).
The question is - are there any convenient control panels for the web server? Now the admin server with OS X - installed MAMP and is very happy, everything is conveniently configured in one window, a fairy tale!
Is there something similar for Ubuntu? To register sites directly there, without manually editing any files, and restart the web server, and for other standard needs. I want something convenient and simple, there is no desire to poke around in the configuration files myself.

Answer 1

I agree that it's better to do it manually. Get cleaner and more flexible.
But if you really want to, you can try vestacp. Pretty compact and simple.
You can also try the good old webmin+virtualmin bundle.
From the "more powerful" panels, you can look at zpanel and ehcp. Well, or really "fatty" ISPConfig.
All named panels are free.
There is also ajenti, this is not a hosting panel, but rather an analogue of webmin, but it will help automate many web server management tasks.

Answer 2

yes, I have. The best management console for a unix server is a command line console.
There are actually panels, but a) they all have a lot of problems, often without the developers of these panels you can’t understand anything in the system, b) because the panel itself installs and updates some of its components, c) it doesn’t pull a lot for everyone necessary dependencies "just in case", d) which creates security problems, and also e) turns any normal distribution kit like debian. Ubuntu, mint? rhel, centos in "gent", which can be managed through a vendor-lock panel, like ispmanager, and only through it - you can and can install Apache from the repository with your hands, but how the system will behave after installing the same Apache is unknown.
In short, the right way is to install the minimum number of components you need, like apache/nginx/mariadb/postgres/php/perl/python and add the necessary functionality as the project grows.
but from practice I’ll say that these “control panels” have enough glitches, even for old people like ispmanager, and if the community does a bugfix on the Apache that comes in the distribution kit quickly, then it’s not clear when the ispmanager developers itch.
panels from evil, unix-true-way = shell.

Answer 3

for me, ispconfig3 has everything, everything suits me, ispmanager rests on the sidelines and smokes nervously.
