# KISS Libre Hosting Panel
Welcome in an actively developed keep-it-simple-and-stupid hosting panel designed for GNU/Linux operating systems. This software can be useful to serve everyday shared hosting services.
This panel is designed to **respect the freedom** of its users. It works **without proprietary JavaScript**. To be honest, without **any line of JavaScript** in any form.
This panel is designed to work without **any external dependency** not written by me. This allow fine-grained control over the software. It integrates with well-known and ultra-secure software packaged inside every GNU/Linux distribution in the world and used by millions of devices.
I would like to thank Giorgio Maone for his project NoScript, for the moral incentive, and Richard Stallman, for _The JavaScript Trap_ paper.

## Disclaimer
Do not try to become a system administrator if you do not like responsibilities, if you do not want to understand your infrastructure, if you do not want to have information security paranoia, etc.
## Preamble
An hosting panel is just the iceberg summit of a lot of technologies and protocols involved. Do not try to implement such project in production if you do not know what you are doing. You must gain confidence with the technologies involved.
Papers:
* RFC 5321 - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
* RFC 7208 - Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
* RFC 6376 - DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Signatures
* RFC 7489 - Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)
Software involved:
* Debian GNU/Linux stable (currently buster)
* MariaDB / MySQL
* Postfix
* Dovecot
* PureFTPd
* OpenDKIM
* Apache HTTP server / nginx
* PHP
## Features

- administration of own mailboxes (thanks to Postfix and Dovecot over MariaDB)
- [X] list
- [X] password reset
- [X] add
- [X] IMAP/SMTP documentation
- [ ] remove
- [ ] view quota
- administration of own mail aliases (thanks to Postfix and Dovecot over MariaDB)

- [X] remove
- [X] password reset
- [ ] administration of own MariaDB databases
- [ ] list own databases
- [ ] list own users
- [ ] change user password
- [ ] administration of User(s)
- [X] create
- [X] password reset
- [X] create a Domain for that User
- [ ] change login
- [ ] change e-mail
- plans
- [X] limit number of mailboxes per domain
- [X] limit number of mail forwardings
- action log
## Installation
Clone these somewhere:
```
git clone https://gitpull.it/source/boz-libre-hosting-panel.git
git clone https://gitpull.it/source/suckless-php.git
```
Install a database server and other stuff for the web interface:
```
# database
apt install mariadb-server
# web server
apt install apache2 libjs-bootstrap certbot
```
Then create an empty database with a dedicated user (change the password!):
```
$ sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE libre_hosting_panel;
CREATE USER libre_hosting_panel@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'aaaah change me!';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON libre_hosting_panel.* TO libre_hosting_panel@localhost;
```
Eventually install your hosting stuff (skip if you just want to hack the panel):
```
# FTP server
apt install pure-ftpd-mysql
# mailserver
apt install postfix-mysql postfix-policyd-spf-python dovecot-mysql dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d spamassassin
```
## Why PHP7
This project is writted in PHP7 because:
* Node.js is not an hypertext preprocessor
* Python is not an hypertext preprocessor
* Ruby is not an hypertext preprocessor
* Java is not an hypertext preprocessor. Well, Java JSP is an hypertext preprocessor but it's footprint is heavy as hell
This PHP7 application is stateless. Does not have sessions. It's well-designed. It scales. It has a minimal memory footprint. If you do not like it, you are free to implement such project with your favorite programming language, with your 200MB of dependencies and crap.
