One JAR. Your whole server.
VorqulPanel is a server administration panel written as a single-file Java application. Backend, API and web UI live in one source file and ship as a compiled, ready-to-run JAR. It runs as a hardened systemd service and keeps its data in SQLite by default, with MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL as options, so the panel itself needs no database server.

alphaVorqulPanel is in alpha and not ready for testing by email yet. VorqulBOT is ready, and test access covers the bot.
VorqulPanel manages web and game hosting on one Linux server: nginx and Apache vhosts, SSL via acme.sh or certbot, BIND9 DNS zones, Postfix/Dovecot mail, a game server catalog with automatic dependency installs, MariaDB with Adminer, a built-in SFTP server, an nftables firewall GUI and monitoring with 30-day retention. Every change goes through a config test with automatic rollback.

What it looks like
Screenshots from a running alpha build: mail, security scanning and monitoring.
What it manages
Every subsystem, documented on its own page
VorqulPanel
Web hosting
VorqulPanel manages nginx and Apache virtual hosts, PHP-FPM pools, SSL certificates through acme.sh, and per-site isolation, with a configuration test and automatic rollback behind every change.
VorqulPanel
Game hosting
VorqulPanel runs game servers alongside web hosting on one machine: a server catalog with automatic dependency installation, per-instance resource limits, live console, scheduled restarts and backups.
VorqulPanel
DNS
VorqulPanel manages BIND9 zones from a web interface: record editing, automatic serial handling, zone validation before reload, DNSSEC support and reverse zones, with rollback on failure.
VorqulPanel
VorqulPanel sets up and manages a Postfix and Dovecot mail server: domains, mailboxes, aliases, DKIM signing, SPF and DMARC records, TLS certificates and spam filtering, with a clean uninstall path.
VorqulPanel
Databases
VorqulPanel manages MariaDB databases and users with least-privilege grants, scheduled dumps with retention, and an integrated Adminer instance protected behind panel authentication.
VorqulPanel
SFTP
VorqulPanel includes an SFTP server that gives each site and game instance access to its own directory only, with key-based authentication, per-account limits and full transfer logging.
VorqulPanel
Firewall
VorqulPanel provides an nftables firewall interface with rule sets, source restrictions, rate limiting and brute-force bans, plus SSH hardening and a locked-down systemd unit for the panel itself.
VorqulPanel
Monitoring
VorqulPanel monitors CPU, memory, disk, network and service state with 30-day retention, per-service status, alerting thresholds and log access, all stored locally with no external agent.
One panel for the jobs other setups split across several tools.
Web hosting, game servers, DNS, mail, databases, SFTP, firewall, SSL and monitoring live in one interface on one server. Every change runs a config test first and rolls back automatically if it fails.

A panel that respects your server
VorqulPanel only writes files prefixed vorqul-, never edits configs it did not create, backs up before touching an adopted site, and routes every change through a config test with rollback. When something fails, you get a sentence that says what happened, why, and what to do next, with the exact command if a manual step is needed. You do not get a stack trace or a generic 500.
Zero footprint
One compiled JAR with SQLite by default. No PHP stack for the panel itself, no hundreds of packages, no third-party repositories rewriting your system. Uninstalling means deleting a service and a directory.
Transparency
Only vorqul- prefixed files, untouched foreign configs, backups before takeovers, configtest with rollback, and an audit log. The admin always knows exactly what the panel did.
Security by default
systemd sandbox, minimal sudo through a dedicated helper with strictly scoped rules, bcrypt, SFTP rate limiting. Older panels add security afterwards. Here it is part of the design from the start.
Web + game hosting in one
Classic panels do not offer this mix. cPanel ignores game servers, and Pterodactyl ignores web, mail and DNS. VorqulPanel covers both on a single server.
Errors you can act on
You get what happened, why and what to do about it, with the exact command when a manual step is needed, instead of a stack trace.
One panel spanning workloads that are usually split between multiple tools.
This compares categories of tooling, not named products, and only on what is objectively in scope. Feature depth inside each category differs and a mature single-purpose panel will beat a generalist on its home turf.
