apnscp is an automation and web hosting control panel for CentOS/RHEL that began as a series of bugfixes for Ensim WEBppliance[4], gradually transitioning into a standalone control panel for Apis Networks in 2007[5] and for which the product is named, Apis Networks Control Panel.
Apis Networks separated its hosting company, Hostineer, from panel production in 2017[6]. apnscp remained private until 2018. In June 2018, the development team open-sourced apnscp for mass market adoption with the first public release in January 2019[7]
Design[edit]
Least privilege design is emphasized by requiring escalation through its API using a master-worker model. Without escalation, apnscp runs as an unprivileged user with minimal access. Long-running tasks are run in a separate job daemon using Laravel Horizon. Account services are layered using OverlayFS, which allows accounts to jail using a combination of chroot and namespacing. Resource enforcement is implemented using control groups. Each account is permitted to use multiple user IDs.
DNS vendor modules allow apnscp to communicate directly with the vendor API. DNS supports a variety of vendors[8] including AWS, CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr.
Ansible builds the platform from a series of playbooks[9] instead of package-based deployment. Playbooks may be run continuously to scrub a platform for integrity changes restoring it to a working state. Utilizing a playbook-driven architecture allows apnscp to heal itself in certain circumstances.
Brute-force protection is implemented by a framework[10] around firewalld and fail2ban allowing authenticated users to unban themselves if accidentally banned[11] as well as whitelist their IP address.
apnscp evolved with the intention to provide necessary hosting features without relying on third-party licenses. These features include account isolation, privilege separation, threat deterrence, resource enforcement, milter capabilities, and 1-click installation/updates for the following web applications:
Addons[edit]
A variety of addons exist through a system called "addins". Addins extend either panel code or platform features in a meaningful way. Any addin that alters system configuration must include an Ansible play that demonstrates idempotence.
