What is everyone using to help manage their servers? Specifically looking for something that eases creating (native) isolated users &amp; PHP-FPM pools. cPanel? Cloudpanel? Hestia CP? Enhance? So many options. Very new to this space.

@dvk@toot.re I've been using DirectAdmin for ages now. I've got 2 dedicated webservers with many accounts and even a reseller account for the clients of a colleague I don't have a panel to manage the servers, so I need to update them 1 by 1. The servers run on AlmaLinux, DirectAdmin, OpenLiteSpeed, MariaDB etc.

@dvk@toot.re +1 for Direct Admin and even the oldskool skin. I have a server with WHM / CPanel... Always searching for shit. ModSecurity always blocks me out of the server. WPSpinUp if you want production ready environments without much of a hassle

@dvk@toot.re before that I used Plesk, but once your license expires you can’t access the interface anymore
