Selfsigned SSL​

Docker images are now equipped with self-signed SSL certificates, enabling the establishment of secure connections from the Nginx proxy on the host server.

This eliminates the need to add custom code to wp-config.php to make WordPress work behind reverse proxy.

OpenAdmin > ModSecurity Settings pagenow provides a list of all ModSec rules (files), logs from the Nginx service and options to identify attack, block IP addresses, disable certain rules or files, etc.

New commands are also available:

Command opencli docker-update_images can also be used from the terminal or cronjobs: https://openpanel.co/docs/admin/scripts/docker/#update-images

Custom Templates​

Starting v0.1.6 you can set custom templates for both OpenPanel and OpenAdmin interfaces!

Examples:

To create new templates copy the default templates folders:

For OpenPanel: cp /usr/local/panel/templates/ /home/custom_template/

For OpenAdmin: cp /usr/local/admin/templates/ /home/custom_admin_template/

and then make the changes over html/css file.

To change theme for OpenPanel, run command:

opencli config update template NAME_HERE

instead of NAME_HERE set either just the folder name in /usr/local/panel/ or a full path, example:

opencli config update template "/home/custom_template/"

To change theme for OpenAdmin, run command:

opencli config update admin_template NAME_HERE

instead of NAME_HERE set either just the folder name in /usr/local/admin/ or a full path, example:

opencli config update admin_template "/home/custom_admin_template/"

Users can now export the BIND9 DNS zone file from OpenPanel > Edit DNS Zone

Turkish translation​

Turkish language is now available for OpenPanel! 🎉

Thank you grafen for your personal contribution to OpenPanel. 🙏

To use tr locale immediately, run command:

wget -O - https://gist.githubusercontent.com/stefanpejcic/701fe98ab873120378f7c7de9d75e030/raw/0d4db8338ce2ad17aec54dfc1d4982abdbb254dc/install_tr.sh | bash

and the new locale will be available to your users under Account Settings:

Panel update from GUI​

OpenPanel can now be updated directly form the OpenAdmin interface.

To update navigate to OpenAdmin > General Settings section and if new update is available, click on the update button to initiate.

/etc/cron.d/openpanel​

OpenPanel now utilizes a custom cron file located at /etc/cron.d/openpanel instead of relying on the root user's crontab. This allows the root user to add custom cronjobs without the risk of them being overwritten during OpenPanel updates.

# /etc/cron.d/openpanel: crontab entries for the OpenPanel
#
#
# This file is used by OpenPanel to schedule cronjobs
#
# It should NOT be edited manually as it is overwritten on update.
# To add crons please use the crontab as root user.
#
# Important Note!  This cronjob will NOT be executed if you are
# running systemd as your init system.  If you are running systemd,
# the cronjob.timer function takes precedence over this cronjob.  For
# more details, see the systemd.timer manpage, or use systemctl show
# certbot.timer.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
