Description

System administration presents numerous challenges, leading to the development of various tools designed to simplify the administrator's responsibilities. These tools significantly improve the processes of system installation, configuration, and ongoing maintenance. Among these tools, jails stand out as a means to bolster the security of a FreeBSD system. Since their introduction in FreeBSD 4.X, jails have seen continuous enhancements in terms of functionality, performance, dependability, and security. They expand upon the chroot(2) concept, which allows for the modification of a process's root directory, thus creating a contained environment that operates independently from the main system. Unlike traditional chroot environments, which merely restrict access to specific sections of the file system, jails provide a more robust isolation, ensuring that the processes within them do not share system resources, users, or running processes with the host system. This added layer of separation significantly enhances the overall security and stability of the FreeBSD operating environment.

Description

The Hestia Control Panel is an efficient, open-source server management tool that provides both a web interface and CLI for the deployment and administration of web domains, email, DNS, databases, and backups, all from a centralized dashboard. It facilitates SFTP/SSH user access through chroot jails, incorporates two-factor authentication, manages SSH keys, and supports per-domain TLS certificates. The panel seamlessly integrates various PHP versions (ranging from 5.6 to 8.4), Nginx, MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL, as well as Exim and Dovecot mail services, along with DNS that includes DNSSEC. Users can benefit from one-click installations for content management systems and an interactive GUI for managing backups, which also allows for automated backups to FTP, SFTP, or over 50 different cloud providers, thus streamlining operations. Furthermore, it features automated firewall rules, quota management, and comprehensive REST API support. Hestia is backed by thorough documentation, driven by a supportive community, licensed under GPL, and benefits from contributions from a worldwide network of developers. Its user-friendly design and extensive capabilities make it a popular choice for server management among professionals.
