WHMCS Module

WHMCS module is now available for OpenPanel. Currently supported actions are:

✅ create account
✅ change password
✅ suspend account
✅ unsuspend account
✅ terminate account
✅ autologin from frontend
✅ autologin from backend
❌ get disk usage for account
❌ change package

To setup WHMCS to use your OpenPanel server follow these steps:

Enable API access on OpenPanel server First make sure that API access is enabled by going to OpenAdmin > API or by running opencli config get api from the terminal: If API is not enabled, click on the "Enable API access" button or from terminal run opencli config update api on.

We recommend creating new Administrator user for API, to create a new user navigate to OpenAdmin > OpenAdmin Settings and create new admin user, or from terminal run: opencli admin new USERNAME_HERE PASSWORD_HERE

Install OpenPanel WHMC Module Login to SSH for WHMCS server Navigate to path_to_whmcs/modules/servers Run this command to create a new folder and in it download the module: git clone https://github.com/stefanpejcic/openpanel-whmcs-module.git openpanel
Establish connection between the two servers On OpenPanel server make sure that the OpenAdmin port 2087 is open on OpenAdmin > Firewall or whitelist the IP adress of your WHMCS server. to whitelist ip address from terminal run: ufw allow from WHMCS_IP_HERE

On WHMCS server also make sure that the 2087 port is opened or whitelist the IP address of your OpenPanel server. From WHMS navigate to: System Settings > Products & Services > Servers

Click on *Create New Server* and under module select **OpenPanel** then add OpenPanel server IP, username and password for the OpenAdmin panel:

Create hosting packages Hosting packages need to be created on both OpenPanel and WHMCS servers. On OpenPanel server login to admin panel and on OpenAdmin > Plans create hosting packages that you will be assinging to users on WHMCS.

On the WHMCS server create first a new group and then create new plans under this group. When creating products, make sure to select OpenPanel for Module and the newly created group

Test creating new accounts Create an order and create a new order to test OpenPanel API.

API for Users

New API endpoints are available for automating various administrative tasks or integrating with billing solutions.

List accounts

curl -X GET http://PANEL:2087/api/users -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE"

Create account

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" -d '{"email": "EMAIL_HERE", "username": "USERNAME_HERE", "password": "PASSWORD_HERE", "plan_id": "PLAN_ID_HERE"}' http://PANEL:2087/api/users

Suspend account

curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" -d '{"action": "suspend"}' http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Unsuspend account

curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" -d '{"action": "unsuspend"}' http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Delete account

curl -X DELETE -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Change password

curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" -d '{"password": "NEW_PASSWORD_HERE"}' http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Change plan

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" -d '{"plan_id": "PLAN_ID_HERE"}' http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Autologin

curl -X CONNECT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE" http://PANEL:2087/api/users/USERNAME_HERE

Improved install

git and clamav are now removed from the install script
Added checks for failed wget (reported by germangc125)
--repair flag will now retry all installation steps
Port 22 is no longer disabled by default, only when flag --no-ssh is used.
database import is now retried multiple times if mysql is not ready

Cron disable

Users can now pause/unpause cronjobs and execute them out of schedule.

When troubleshooting cronjob, you can add >> /home/USERNAME/CRON.log 2>&1 in the cron command and output will be stored in the file everytime the cron is executed.

Edit Admin Users

Admin users can now be edited: rename, change password, suspend/unsuspend from OpenAdmin interface.

Note: Super admin role can not be suspended or deleted.

Admin search

OpenAdmin has been enhanced with a search feature, enabling Administrators to swiftly navigate the OpenAdmin interface and locate various items. This search functionality covers:

Users
Websites
OpenAdmin pages

Success message

Fixed bug with success message "OpenPanel successfully updated!" not dismissing the "New OpenPanel update is available" message.

Fixed bug with wrong description added for successfull update.

Skip version

Administrators now have the ability to specify which OpenPanel versions to skip during updates by modifying the /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions file.

This feature proves handy when manually updating from an older version and wishing to skip certain intermediate versions.

For instance, if a user is updating from OpenPanel 0.1.3 with autopatches disabled, the update process would typically progress from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5, then to 0.1.6, and finally to the latest version, 0.1.7.

However, if there are minimal differences between versions 0.1.4 and 0.1.5, an admin can opt to skip version 0.1.4 by appending it to the /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions file:

echo 0.1.4 >> /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions

Consequently, during the update procedure, specified version 0.1.4 will be skipped.

It's worth noting that while skipping versions is possible, it's generally not recommended since each update typically takes around 30 seconds.

In the event of a failed update to a particular version, the opencli update scripts will automatically add that version to the /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions file to prevent future attempts at updating to it.

Forbidden Username

Both opencli user-add and opencli user-rename scripts now use an external list of forbidden names from: /usr/local/admin/scripts/helpers/forbidden_usernames.txt file. Administrators can add usernames to this list.

test
restart
reboot
shutdown
exec
root
admin
ftp
lsws
litespeed
1000
vsftpd
apache2
apache
nginx
php
mysql
mysqld
www-data
openpanel

SSH after reboot

SSH service inside users docker containers is disabled by default when account is created, and in OpenPanel < 0.1.6 was also disabled by default when server is rebooted.

We now store the ssh service status for each user and if enabled, after reboot will be re-enabled. note: ssh service for users uses a random port, so after reboot the port is changed.

hub.docker.com

OpenPanel official docker images are now hosted on hub.docker.com

Nginx stack: https://hub.docker.com/r/openpanel/nginx/tags
Apache stack: https://hub.docker.com/r/openpanel/apache/tags

Disabled services

In order to reduce the memory footprint of Docker containers, we are implementing breaking changes to our official Docker images for Nginx and Apache:

NodeJS, Python, PM2, and WP-CLI are removed from the images. They are installed only when needed: when a user adds a WordPress website or a Node.js/Python application.
All services are disabled by default and will only be enabled when needed. MySQL is enabled when adding the first database or user, webservers are started only when a domain is added, SSH only when SSH access is enabled, cron service after cronjob is added, etc.

This ensures that only the services that are actually used are running.

With these changes, we managed to lower idle CPU & Memory Usage of new user accounts from 680MB to less than 10MB.

Ubuntu24 images

Both official images openpanel/nginx and openpanel/apache now use Ubuntu 24.04 as the base images. This change fixes 16 vulnerabilities in the previous Ubuntu 22.04 docker image.

Containerized services

MySQL service is now also run as a docker container. This allows Admins to set cpu and memory limits for the service, as well to easily manage backup and restore.

Example, restart mysql container:

docker restart openpanel_mysql

Example, backup mysql data locally:

docker run --rm \
--mount source=openpanel_mysql_data,target=<target> \
-v $(pwd):/backup \
busybox \
tar -czvf /backup/<backup-filename>.tar.gz <target>

Example, backup mysql data to AWS:

docker run --rm \
  -v openpanel_mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<xxx>" \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<xxx>" \
  --env AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME="<xxx>" \
  --entrypoint backup \
