A control panel for people who refuse chaos.
StrixPanel is where your apps live when you're done gambling on shared hosting and brittle cPanel installs. Container-native, domain-aware, and built for nocturnal builders who treat their VPS like an asset — not a scratch-off.
Less corporate dashboard. More late-night focus. You ship. Strix quietly keeps everything standing.
The StrixPanel trinity
Clean isolation. Clear ownership. Calm control.
Three things StrixPanel refuses to compromise on. If your hosting doesn't give you those, it's not infrastructure — it's a trap.
Each app lives in its own Docker container. No bleed, no random 500s because one project decided to be dramatic.
Map brands, client projects, and side hustles cleanly. One VPS, many identities — no cPanel contortions.
Next.js, APIs, workers, queues. StrixPanel is designed for modern stacks, not retrofitted for them.
Under the hood
A three-layer stack that actually makes sense.
Containers for your apps. A clean layer for domains and SSL. A calm control plane on top. Nothing mystical — until you compare it to what you're probably using now.
Layer 1 · Apps: each project runs in its own container, with its own resources and lifecycle.
Layer 2 · Domains: map domains and subdomains without dark magic. SSL handled with sane defaults.
Layer 3 · StrixCore: the panel itself — UI and CLI — coordinating everything and staying out of your way when it should.
Feature realms
Not just features — entire realms of sanity.
StrixPanel breaks the problem space into realms, so you always know where you are and what you're changing.
Spin up containers per app, per client, or per experiment. Upgrade one without praying for the others.
Attach, detach, and re-route domains in a way that doesn’t feel like defusing a bomb.
See logs, status, and basic metrics in a single calm view instead of seventeen SSH sessions.
Wire up simple deploy flows that don’t require a full-time DevOps engineer or yet another YAML ritual.
SSH keys and access that are easy to rotate and revoke — not buried in a UI from 2009.
Plays nicely with Mailu and sensible DNS so mail and infra don’t fight each other for sport.
For the shell dwellers
The Strix CLI ritual, for nights when you live in a terminal.
You don't have to use the CLI. But when you do, the commands read like a language you already speak.
OG access
A small flock gets lifetime keys.
StrixPanel isn't meant to be a faceless subscription forever. The long-term vision is a capped, on-chain license model — and the earliest flock gets the most generous terms.
Early OGs get lifetime panel access, future feature drops, and the ability to transfer their key if they ever decide to exit. Think "license as an asset" — not "rent another panel forever."
Exact numbers, mechanics, and token details will be written down in a public litepaper. No vague hype. Just a clear supply and clear rules.
- • First in line for the alpha and public launch.
- • Early say in which realms unlock first.
- • Perks tied to your OG status — not your follower count.
Who built this?
StrixPanel is being crafted quietly by DigitalOwl — a builder who got tired of fixing things that should've just worked.
After years of wrestling VPSes, panels, and late-night production fires, this isn't a thought experiment. It's the control panel I needed a decade ago. If it resonates with you, it was probably always meant to.
