mdserver-web is a Linux server management panel that provides a web-based interface for administering Linux systems.
The tool addresses the need for simplified server management through a graphical interface rather than command-line administration. It offers an SSH terminal tool, panel bookmarking functionality, website backup capabilities, and a plugin-based architecture for extending functionality. The panel supports multiple Linux distributions including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and EulerOS, with Debian recommended as the primary target system.
The project suits administrators seeking lightweight server management without complex setup. It includes plugins for common server components such as OpenResty, multiple PHP versions, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, and FTP services. The plugin-based design allows users to install only the components they need. The tool is appropriate for those who prefer web-based administration over command-line interfaces and want to manage websites, databases, and caching systems from a single panel.
Development activity shows ongoing maintenance with regular optimization updates and bug fixes. The project maintains compatibility testing documentation and provides clear command documentation for users. Plugin development is supported through documented examples and a dedicated plugin organization, enabling community contributions. The maintainer actively addresses installation and update issues, including troubleshooting guidance for dependency problems that may arise during setup.
