Overview
Ajenti is a modular server admin panel for Linux and BSD. Ajenti 2 is built with Python 3 and AngularJS, installs with pip or a provided script, and picks up an existing system's configuration as-is without overwriting config files, options or comments. It includes plugins for system and software configuration, monitoring and management, and can be extended in Python.
- Best for
