CyberPanel vs mrmpanel
Both are free panels you install on a VPS. CyberPanel is OpenLiteSpeed / LiteSpeed first. mrmpanel is Docker + Traefik first. Different machines.
Quick take
Want a production-ish free panel with a big LiteSpeed community today? Look at CyberPanel (or Hestia). Want to try one-container-per-site on a wipeable box? That is mrmpanel — and it is still experimental.
| CyberPanel | mrmpanel | |
|---|---|---|
| Web stack | OpenLiteSpeed / LiteSpeed | Traefik + Docker site containers |
| Typical OS | Ubuntu / Alma / Rocky | Ubuntu 24.04 or Alma/Rocky/RHEL 9–10 |
| WordPress | First-class, OLS tuned | Auto-install stack per hostname |
| Node / Python apps | Possible, not the core story | Built-in stacks |
| Yes (panel mail) | Optional docker-mailserver + Roundcube | |
| Maturity | Widely deployed free panel | Early / experimental |
| License | Free tier + paid LiteSpeed options | MIT |
Pick CyberPanel if
- You want LiteSpeed performance and docs for WordPress on a classic VPS.
- You need something closer to “hosting panel people already run.”
- You are not interested in debugging Docker labels on day one.
Pick mrmpanel if
- You want Docker isolation and mixed PHP / Node / Python sites.
- The server is empty and you can wipe it.
- You are testing the panel, not selling cPanel-shaped hosting tomorrow.
Do not dual-install
Fresh OS image. One panel. CyberPanel and mrmpanel both want ports 80/443 (and often mail/DNS). Sharing a box with the other — or with cPanel, Hestia, or aaPanel — is how you get a broken night.
Also: Hestia vs mrmpanel, aaPanel vs Docker panels, which free panel for what. Install: Ubuntu 24.04.
