Application

The application module is one of the core features of AcePanel, used to manage various software on the server. Through the application module, you can conveniently install, configure, and manage common software such as Web servers, databases, runtime environments, etc.

Feature Categories

The application module is divided into three parts:

• Native Applications: Software installed directly on the system, such as Nginx, MySQL, Redis, etc.
• Runtime Environments: Runtime environments for various programming languages, such as PHP, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, etc.
• Container Templates: One-click deployment templates based on Docker, for quickly deploying various applications

Native Application vs Container Template

Feature	Native Application	Container Template
Performance	Higher	Slight overhead
Isolation	Shared system environment	Fully isolated
Deployment Difficulty	Requires configuration	One-click deployment
Resource Usage	Lower	Higher
Use Cases	Production environment, high performance needs	Quick testing, multiple version coexistence

Application Categories

Native applications are preset with multiple categories by function, including but not limited to:

• Web Servers: Nginx, OpenResty, Apache
• Databases: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Percona
• Containers: Docker, Podman
• Middleware: Redis, Memcached
• Storage: MinIO, S3fs
• Tools: phpMyAdmin, Pure-FTPd, Supervisor, Rsync, Frp
