General Settings

From this page Administrators can configure the domain to access both OpenPanel and OpenAdmin interfaces, as well as ports for those services.

Domain​

Both OpenAdmin and OpenPanel are accessed through the same single Hostname field: enter either a domain name or the server's IP address there, and both interfaces become reachable at https://HOSTNAME:PORT/.

To enable access to both OpenAdmin and OpenPanel through a domain name, such as srv.your-domain.com:2083, follow these three steps:

  1. Set hostname: Set the desired subdomain as server hostname:

    hostnamectl set-hostname server.example.net
  2. Configure DNS: Point the subdomain to the public IP of the server. Use a tool such as https://www.whatsmydns.net/ to check that domain is pointed to server ip.

  3. Set in General Settings Set the domain name in the Hostname field on OpenAdmin > Settings > General Settings.

The SSL row below the hostname shows the current SSL status of the panel domain; Manage SSL opens its certificate page.

Set IP address for OpenPanel​

To access OpenPanel and OpenAdmin via the server's public IP address, enter the IP address in the same Hostname field in OpenAdmin > Settings > General Settings (this field accepts either a domain name or an IP address).

Ports​

Port configurations for OpenAdmin and OpenPanel interfaces can be modified from their default settings (2087 for OpenAdmin and 2083 for OpenPanel).

  • To change the port for the OpenPanel from the default 2083 to another value, set the desired port in the "OpenPanel port" field.
  • To change the port for the OpenAdmin from the default 2087 to another value, set the desired port in the "OpenAdmin port" field.

Redirect​

By default, when users add a domain, the addition of "/openpanel" to the domain URL will redirect them to the OpenPanel interface. However, you have the flexibility to customize this, such as changing it to "/awesome," allowing users to access their OpenPanel via "their-domain.com/awesome".

To change the "/openpanel" to something else, simply set the value in the "/openpanel" field and click on save. Changes take effect instantly without service interruption.

Debugging (Dev Mode)​

Toggle Dev mode to enable verbose/detailed logging for OpenPanel and OpenAdmin, useful for error diagnostics. Logs can be viewed under OpenAdmin > Services > View Log Files.
