The LaraNode dashboard: menu for websites, firewall and file manager on the left, CPU load and memory and disk usage cards in the middle.

TESIGN TAKE

The public demo states plainly that every action is simulated, then opens the whole interface anyway — an uncommon courtesy that lets you decide before installing.

A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

cPanel and Plesk do the job but bill every month. LaraNode puts the same kind of panel on a server you already pay for, with no licence fee — aimed at the one or two boxes that are awkward to run from a terminal alone.

BUILD FROM THIS

Built with Laravel (PHP); minimum is Ubuntu 24.04, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 10 GB disk. It covers site creation, one-click Let’s Encrypt SSL, a file manager written from scratch, MySQL databases, per-site PHP 7.4–8.5, UFW firewall rules and live CPU, memory and network stats. Backups — whole accounts, files or databases — go locally, to S3 or over SFTP, on demand or on a retention schedule, and accounts have admin and user roles.

WHO IT'S FOR

Solo operators and small teams running sites on a VPS or two, and anyone trying to drop a hosting panel licence.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Look around demo.laranode.com, then run the install command on a fresh Ubuntu server.

CAVEATS

It installs on a fresh VPS, not on top of a server already in use, and assumes Ubuntu with Apache, MySQL and PHP. The demo mode must never be switched on where real sites and accounts are managed.
