OpenPanel

Edit nameservers, disable features and more.

The OpenPanel Settings page allows you to edit setitngs and features availabnel to users in their OpenPanel interface.

Branding​

To set a custom name visible in the OpenPanel sidebar and on login pages, enter the desired name in the "Brand name" option. Alternatively, to display a logo instead, provide the URL in the "Logo image" field and save the changes.

Set nameservers​

Before adding any domains its important to first create nameservers so that added domains will have valid dns zone files and be able to propagate.

Configuring nameservers involves two steps:

1. Create private nameservers (glue DNS records) for the domain through your domain registry.
2. Add the nameservers into the OpenPanel configuration.

Here are tutorials for some popular domain providers:

• Cloudflare
• GoDaddy
• NameCheap

To add nameservers from OpenAdmin navgiate to Settings > OpenPanel and set nameservers in ns1 and ns2 fields and click on save:

Or from terminal run commands:

opencli config update ns1 your_ns1.domain.com
opencli config update ns2 your_ns2.domain.com

Enable Features​

Administrators have the ability to enable or disable each feature (page) in the OpenPanel interface. To activate a feature, select it in the "Enable Features" section and click save. The change is immediate and necessitates the restart of the OpenPanel service to implement the modifications.

Once enabled, the feature becomes instantly available to all users, appearing in the OpenPanel interface sidebar, search results, and dashboard icons.
