OpenAdmin is the administrative interface for OpenPanel, providing server administrators with a fast, modern, and lightweight dashboard for managing servers, users, services, system settings, and platform configuration.
Written in Go, OpenAdmin is designed to be highly efficient with minimal resource consumption while delivering a modern web experience using Tremor UI templates. A typical idle installation uses approximately 15 MB of RAM, making it suitable for everything from small VPS instances to large production servers.
The template is built using tremor, tailwindcss and Alpine.js, providing a clean, responsive, and accessible administration experience.
