Getting started

Reqad is a self-hosted, open-source hosting control panel for Rocky Linux 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9 and RHEL 8/9. One admin manages everything - ideal for a single VPS hosting multiple domains.

What Reqad manages

  • Hosting accounts - one per domain, with disk usage tracking
  • Email - exim, dovecot, Roundcube webmail and SpamAssassin
  • DNS - Cloudflare, cPanel or PowerDNS
  • SSL/TLS - automated Let's Encrypt certificates, or certificates from other providers added manually
  • Databases - MySQL/MariaDB with phpMyAdmin
  • WordPress - one-click install and management
  • PHP - multiple versions, per account
  • Operations - backups, cron, SSH keys, services and a browser terminal

The big picture

You point a fresh Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux or RHEL 8/9 server at the Reqad installer, log in to the dashboard, and create a hosting account for each domain you want to host. Reqad sets up the web server, PHP-FPM pool, mail and DNS as needed, and can issue an SSL certificate automatically.

Every way into Reqad calls the same functions, so a change made in the panel, on the command line, through the API or by an AI assistant does the same thing and passes the same checks. The account panel (dashed, premium) reaches them only through a broker that checks the account first.

How these docs are organised

Each page says at the top what it needs. Open source is in the free reqad package, under the GPL-3.0 license, with its source on GitHub. Premium comes with an add-on of the premium subscription (see Pricing); the page names the package. Inside an open-source page, the few parts that need an add-on carry the same Premium mark.
