Web Hosting Control Panel · Early development
One server. Every site under control.
HostScope is a self-hosted hosting panel for one Linux server, with Caddy as its only web server. Add static sites, reverse proxies, apps and redirects with automatic HTTPS from a clean web interface. It is open source and still in early development.
- Automatic HTTPS for every domain
- One Linux user per site
- Open source (AGPL-3.0)
The big picture.
One panel for the sites on a server: add them, watch them, work on their files and keep them safe, without hand-editing web server config.
Every kind of site
Add a site in a few clicks.
- Static sites, reverse proxies and redirects
- Managed apps that start and restart for you
- Optionally answers on the www address too
Files and logs
Work on a site without leaving the panel.
- File manager and editor in the browser
- Per-site access logs with a live tail
- Environment variables for each app
Safe by design
Built for a server that holds many sites.
- One Linux user per site
- Every change previewed, with automatic rollback
- Nightly database backups
Your team
Accounts and access for the people who run it.
- Admin accounts with optional two-factor login
- Invites, API tokens and an activity log
- Panel on your own domain, or at the server address for first setup
What it does today.
Built on Caddy, so certificates and renewals look after themselves. On the way: PHP sites, PostgreSQL databases managed from the panel, wildcard certificates through Cloudflare and site-owner accounts.
Automatic HTTPS
- Certificates issued and renewed by Caddy
- HTTPS status shown for every domain
- One shared server on port 443 for every site
Static, proxy and redirect
- Static sites from a folder you control
- Reverse proxy to an app on the server
- Redirects to another address
Protection and headers
- Password protection for a whole site
- Custom response headers
- Preview of every Caddy change before it applies
Managed apps
- A start command and environment variables
- Runs as the site’s own user, restarted if it stops
- App output and visitor logs in one place
File manager
- Browse, edit, upload and download
- Unzip archives with zip-slip protection
- Changes stay inside the site’s folder
One-script install
- Alpine 3.21+, Ubuntu 26.04 and Rocky Linux 10
- Upgrades keep a backup and the previous version
- If a step fails, the installer undoes what it changed
How it works.
Three steps from a bare server to a hosted site.
Run the installer
One script sets up Caddy, the panel and its services on your server, and prints a one-time setup link.
Create your admin
Open the setup link, choose a password and, if you like, turn on two-factor login. The panel runs on your own domain.
Add sites
Add a domain, choose static, proxy, app or redirect, and HostScope gets the certificate and applies the change safely.
