Feature Reference

A high-level overview of what Calagopus offers, followed by a comparison with other panels.

Highlights

• Fast: Both the node daemon and panel backend are written in Rust, designed to use as few resources as possible while delivering a responsive experience.
• Secure: Security is a first-class concern in the architecture, with hardening built in by default.
• Easy to use: The panel is designed to be approachable without requiring a background in server administration.
• Open Source: The code is on GitHub and contributions are welcome.
• Cross-Platform: The panel runs on essentially any operating system.
• Extensible: A built-in extension system lets you add custom backend logic, routes, UI elements, and more.
• Scalable: The architecture scales horizontally - add more backend instances, read replicas, and Wings nodes as load grows.
• WebAuthn: Users can authenticate with passkeys, biometrics, or hardware security keys.
• Schedule Tasks: Automate server management with time- and event-based scheduling.
• Subuser Management: Grant other users scoped access to a server without full admin rights.
• File Manager: Browse, upload, download, and edit server files directly from the panel, including archive and backup browsing.
• API: A comprehensive API covers everything the panel UI does. See the API Reference for details.
