BinaryPanel — The Go-Native Infrastructure Ecosystem

BinaryPanel is a fully Go-native, composable server management ecosystem that replaces traditional control panels. It orchestrates three best-in-class open-source tools—all written in Go—unified by a custom, lightweight dashboard:

1. Caddy: High-performance reverse proxy and automatic SSL.
2. FileBrowser: Beautiful web-based storage and file management.
3. Portainer: Visual orchestration and deployment manager.
4. BinaryPanel Dashboard: Fast, zero-dependency SPA connecting it all via APIs.

✨ Features

🌐 Domain Management

• Add, edit, and remove domains with a clean UI — reverse proxy or static file server.
• Automatic SSL via Caddy's built-in ACME/Let's Encrypt integration.
• Backup & Restore — download a domain's deployment as a .zip or upload one to restore.
• Process Restart — bounce backend services mapped to a domain directly from the dashboard.

🛡️ Domain Security Suite

Per-domain security hardening with real-time Caddy API integration:

• Security Score (0–100) per domain with color-coded badges:
  • 🟢 ≥ 80 — Well Protected
  • 🟡 40–79 — Partial Protection
  • 🔴 < 40 — Unprotected
• One-click Presets — Apply Strict, Balanced, or Minimal security profiles instantly.
• Security Headers (applied live, no restart needed):
  • HSTS (with max-age, includeSubDomains, preload)
  • X-Frame-Options (DENY / SAMEORIGIN)
  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  • Referrer-Policy
  • Permissions-Policy
  • Content-Security-Policy (CSP)
• IP Access Control — Per-domain IP whitelist and blacklist with automatic Caddy route injection.
• Global IP Blocklist — Block IPs across all domains from the Settings page.
• Persistent — All security configs saved to /data/security.json and auto-reapplied on container restart.

📊 Observability & Diagnostics

• Structured Error Logging — In-memory ring buffer + persistent file-based logging to /data/binarypanel.log.
• Diagnostic Engine — Automatically maps raw network errors (DNS, timeout, connection refused) to user-friendly fix suggestions.
• Log Viewer — Color-coded error log modal with level filtering (All / Errors / Warnings / Info) and live refresh.

⚡ System Management

• One-Click Stack Reboot — Restart all BinaryPanel containers (Caddy, Dashboard, FileBrowser) to resolve DNS failures or stale connections, with automatic reconnection polling.
• Self-Compiling Updates — Pull the latest code from GitHub and rebuild the dashboard container natively from the Settings page.
• Container Management — Start, stop, restart, and view logs for all Docker containers.
• System Monitoring — Real-time CPU, memory, disk usage gauges, load averages, and uptime stats.

🏪 App Store

• 1-Click Installers — Deploy applications like BinaryCMS directly from the dashboard.

🚀 One-Command Installation

The entire stack can be installed on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian server using a single command. Open your terminal and run:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eait7/binarypanel/main/install.sh | sudo bash

The script will automatically:

1. Install Docker, Docker Compose, and Git if they aren't already present.
2. Clone this repository into /opt/binarypanel.
3. Add your user to the docker group.
4. Orchestrate and launch all necessary services via Docker Compose.

Note: After running this script for the first time, you must close your terminal and open a new one to apply the docker group changes.

🌟 Accessing the Ecosystem

All components are securely accessible out of the box.

• BinaryPanel Dashboard: http://<your-ip>:9000
  • Login: admin / admin
• FileBrowser: http://<your-ip>:8090
  • Login: admin / Admin123456! (Due to standard 12-character constraint)
• Portainer: https://<your-ip>:9443
  • Create your own initial password upon first visit.
• Caddy (Web): http://<your-ip>:80 & https://<your-ip>:443

IMPORTANT: You should immediately log into all services and change their default passwords!

🔧 Architecture Overview

• Zero-Bloat Frontend: Built with pure HTML/CSS/JS (no heavy framework bundles), utilizing advanced glassmorphism design and optimized for blazing-fast speed.
• RESTful Orchestration: The BinaryPanel Dashboard securely communicates with Caddy's REST API and Docker's local socket without requiring heavy external SDKs.
• Live Security Injection: Security headers and IP restrictions are applied in real-time via Caddy's JSON admin API — no server restart required.
• Rootless Compatibility: Docker configurations support native Unix sockets and rootless setups where user groups possess appropriate permissions.
