How to install Calagopus Panel on Linux
Bring up Calagopus on a fresh Linux box: packages, the panel service and the first login so you can manage game servers from the browser.
GUIDES
Server guides you can run yourself
Written walkthroughs for Linux administration, security and application deployment. The same stack we run on dedicated servers and VPS in Amsterdam: nginx, firewalls, panels, game servers and VPN.
Each guide is a working path, not a marketing page. Copy the steps, change the hostnames, and you should end up with a service that stays up. Video versions of selected installs live on the Trivox YouTube channel.

These articles cover what we get asked about most: bringing up nginx, locking down SSH, running a panel, or putting a game server on a VPS. They assume a fresh Debian or Ubuntu box and do not skip the boring parts. New posts go here first. Selected installs also have a video on YouTube.
