ServerKit is a lightweight, modern server control panel for managing web applications, databases, and services on your VPS or dedicated server. Built with Python/Flask backend and React frontend.
A lightweight, modern server control panel for managing web apps, databases,
Docker containers, and security — without the complexity of Kubernetes
or the cost of managed platforms.
clean-checkout collection; this is not a claim that every case passed or ran

The total sums files individually compressed with gzip at level 9; it is not a measured page-load time. RAM usage and image size depend on the build, platform and workload; no universal footprint is claimed.
🚀 Quick Start
Installation time depends on the server, network and required packages.
Option 1: One-Line Install (Recommended)
curl -fsSL https://serverkit.ai/install.sh | bash
Works on Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora, and RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux 9+. Sets up everything automatically.
Optional: PANEL_DOMAIN=panel.example.com sets the domain and tries Let's Encrypt; SERVERKIT_OFFLINE_TARBALL=... installs from a local tarball.
Update
sudo serverkit update
Atomic blue/green update with pre-flight checks, DB backup, migration, and
automatic rollback. Use --dry-run to preview, --branch dev for dev builds,
or --release [version] for release tarballs.
Option 2: Docker
git clone https://github.com/jhd3197/ServerKit.git
cd ServerKit
cp .env.example .env # then edit .env with your secrets
docker compose up -d # access at http://localhost:5000
Runs the panel as a single container. Note a containerised panel cannot manage
its own host — no systemd, no host nginx, no managed site vhosts; use Option 1
for that. It ships without nginx and never redirects to HTTPS, which makes it the
right target to put your own reverse proxy in front of — see
Running behind your own reverse proxy.
These requirements are sizing guidance, not a capacity benchmark. Allow additional RAM and disk for managed apps, images, databases, logs and backups. Measure your own workload using the measurement guide.

🎯 Features
The core is feature-complete. New capabilities ship as installable extensions through the built-in Marketplace — the core stays lean and stable, with ongoing work focused on UI polish and community-reported fixes.
🚀 Apps & Deployment
One-Click WordPressPHP-FPM 8.x sites published at real subdomains, with URL-swap previews, custom domains, and wildcard HTTPS.
Any StackFlask/Django on Gunicorn, Node.js on PM2, static sites — from Git, Docker, a manual path, or a zip upload.
Docker & ComposeImage-update detection with one-click apply, auto-sleep for idle containers, CPU-driven auto-scaling, live logs, and terminal access.
Marketplace100+ one-click app templates on a declarative schema with auto-resolved secrets, hosts, and URLs — nothing hardcoded.
Build PacksZero-Dockerfile deploys: inspects a repo and generates a Dockerfile + compose from a build plan.
AutomationsNode-based visual automation for tasks, deployments, and CI/CD — cron, webhook, and event triggers, running in a managed container. Ships as an extension.

🏗️ Architecture
Nginx terminates TLS and splits traffic two ways: panel requests go to the Flask API, everything else is proxied to the Docker container serving that domain. The panel keeps its own state in SQLite or PostgreSQL, runs background work through a job scheduler and notification bus, and loads optional functionality from the extension runtime. Remote servers are managed by a Go agent that connects back over a Socket.IO namespace.
ServerKit's core is feature-complete — every planned core phase has shipped, from the first Flask + React infrastructure to multi-server fleets, SSO, the automation engine, and the extension marketplace.
Development now happens in three places:
🧩 Extensions — new functionality ships as installable extensions through the Marketplace (100+ one-click templates and growing). The core stays lean; you install only what you need. Browse the catalog →
🎨 Themes — the panel's look is community-extensible too: 17 built-in themes, one-click installs from the gallery, and a live Theme Studio to build and share your own. See every theme →
✨ Core polish — ongoing UI/UX refinements and fixes for issues reported by the community. No new core features are planned.
TRC-20 has the lowest fees — usually under a dollar — so it's the friendliest
option for a small donation. ERC-20 gas can cost more than the donation itself.
Faro — A modern desktop client for SFTP, FTP, SSH, and S3-compatible storage, from the same author. Save a server once, then browse its files in a dual-pane view and open a terminal against the same SSH session — plus drag-and-drop transfers, one-way directory sync, and edit-in-place. It even has an Agent Bridge that lets Claude Code (or any MCP agent) run commands on a box through your authenticated session, with per-command approval and no shared credentials.
ServerKit manages your servers from the browser; Faro is the desktop companion for hands-on file transfer, shells, and ad-hoc work across all your boxes. Grab a build →
LocalKit — Spin up local WordPress sites in one click. Each site runs as its own isolated Docker Compose project, and you can push code or push/pull databases straight to your ServerKit server through the serverkit-localkit extension.
DeviceKit — A unified Android device fleet & test-automation platform. Control a fleet of devices from one dashboard — run automations, stream screens in real time, catch visual regressions, and debug failures with AI-powered analysis.
Vela — Your personal app server. Install, run, and manage local apps from one browser dashboard while your apps, settings, and data stay on your own machine — with self-updating releases on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus an iOS PWA. Already running ServerKit? Import the repository's serverkit.yaml as a new service and it deploys in one shot.
