🔥 LavaPanel – The Ultra‑Professional Server Management Suite

LavaPanel is a sophisticated, open‑source web panel that allows administrators to deploy, monitor, and control Discord bots and Minecraft servers with minimal overhead. Built on the basis of proven patterns and modern tooling, LavaPanel offers the same polishes as monolithic hosting solutions – but without the need for Docker, custom images, or complex infrastructure tutorials.

---

🚀 Why LavaPanel?

• Zero Docker Dependency – Unlike many competitor panels, LavaPanel is a pure Node‑runtime app. That means you can install it on any V‑PS, bare metal, or even a lightweight cloud instance without worrying about image size or registry access.
• Full Feature Parity – Core features such as one‑click deployment, auto‑update, OAuth integration, token management, and real‑time logs are all present and battle‑tested.
• Developer Friendly – The codebase follows strict ES2022 conventions, uses TypeScript behind the scenes, and exposes an extensible plugin API for custom workflows.
• Self‑Updating – The panel fetches the latest commit from the GitHub repo hourly. The update script checks for semantic version changes and automatically rolls back on failure.
• Internationalise‑Ready – Asset bundles are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese.
• Compliance & Logging – All HTTP traffic is logged to a rotating file drive. Exports are available in both JSON and CSV for SOX/PCI‑DSS audit requirements.

📦 Quick Installation

The one‑liner is the most recommended method. It handles OS detection, dependency installation, cloning the repo, running npm, and finally starting the panel via PM2 (recommended for production) or npm start for local debugging.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IN3PIRE/LavaPanel/main/install.sh | bash

Tip: On macOS or any ARM‑based system, use the platform‑specific suffix (--arm64) to automatically pull the native binaries.

Manual Install Tutorial

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/IN3PIRE/LavaPanel.git
   cd LavaPanel

2. Install Node (must be 14+ with npm 8+):

   curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash -
   apt-get install -y nodejs

3. Install dependencies:

   npm ci --legacy-peer-deps

4. Configure environmental variables – copy the example and set the required values:

   cp .env.example .env

   Open .env and provide:

   • Discord OAuth DISCORD_CLIENT_ID & DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET
   • Telegram TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
   • JWT_SECRET, SESSION_SECRET
   • Optional PORT, AUTO_UPDATE_INTERVAL

5. Start the application:

   Production (pm2):

   npm install -g pm2
   pm2 start server/index.js --name lavapanel
   pm2 save

   Development:

   npm start

6. Open the UI – Point your browser to http://localhost:<PORT> (default 3000).

Key Take‑aways

• Event‑Driven – All plugins listen to a central EventEmitter.
• Performance‑Optimised – Only the required Node modules are bundled; tree‑shaking ensures minimal memory usage.
• Democratized – Every panel install is fully open‑source and package‑controlled.
