AppNode free Linux server cluster management panel installation and use and the process of setting up Discuz

AppNode is a domestic Linux server management panel. I have heard of AppNode several years ago. However, AppNode used to be a paid product, so those who are used to using free VPS panels basically "disdain" AppNode. . In the past few days, many friends have shared with me the news that AppNode is free, and it’s time to give it a try. AppNode is somewhat similar to the new version of BT.cn Pagoda VPS host panel. It is simple, practical and powerful. It can be installed automatically by executing only one command, and the installation takes less than 1 minute. By integrating Nginx, PHP, MySQL and other components, it helps you quickly create and configure a website with multiple architectures: PHP, pure static, reverse proxy, and supports HTTP/2.0 and Let’s Encrypt free certificates. AppNode comes with an application market, and you can install more than 40+ application software directly in the panel, such as website backup, file management, system monitoring, Samba, etc. In short, AppNode is very good both in terms of functionality and website building, but there is an important shortcoming that the free version of AppNode only supports the creation of three websites. If you want to try more VPS hosts and server panels, you can take a look at the VPS host panel summary page I made: Server Control Panel List. If you have a certain understanding of Linux commands, it is recommended that you directly use the LNMP one-click installation package, which is simple and safe. More website building tools include:

1. Free open source PHP probe x-prober and cool Linux server performance real-time monitoring tool Netdata
2. LAMP.sh one-click installation package to easily build an Apache website building environment - automatically install SSL and PHP components
3. Use Pydio to build free private cloud storage-multi-terminal automatic synchronization can play music videos online

4. Summary

As a domestic VPS control panel, AppNode is very good in terms of functionality and ease of use. Similar to the Pagoda panel, you first install the panel and then install Nginx, PHP and other website building environments in the background. The application market also supports WP , DZ and other popular programs can be installed with one click, which is especially suitable for novice friends. The disadvantage of AppNode is that the free version is limited to only building 3 sites. This basically has no impact on individual users. Generally speaking, when running AppNode on a VPS with 1GB of memory and then running a website, the memory is basically Finished. If you need to build a website without restrictions, you can take a look at the server control panel list.
