What you can install
The full menu of software SpipCP installs for you — web servers, languages, databases, caches, and site types — with the versions on offer.
SpipCP installs and manages real software for you, inside your instances. This page is the complete menu: the services you install into an instance, and the site types you can launch on top of them. Versions are pinned, installs are clean, and everything is managed through the panel — no manual server setup.
Services (installed into an instance)
You install these from an instance's Services tab. One per category per instance.
Web servers
| Service | Versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| nginx | stable | The default web server. |
| Caddy | 2 | Automatic HTTPS, simple config. |
| OpenLiteSpeed | stable | Event-driven server with built-in LSCache — the alternative WordPress front. |
Languages & runtimes
| Service | Versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PHP | 8.5 · 8.4 · 8.3 | Installed with FPM and Composer. |
| Node.js | 24 · 22 · 26 | For Node apps and build steps. |
| Python | 3.13 · 3.12 · 3.11 | CPython (deadsnakes) with venv, pip and build tools — for Django, FastAPI and Flask apps. |
| Go | 1.23 · 1.22 | Official go.dev toolchain (installed from the pinned, checksum-verified tarball). A build-time dependency only — a Go app compiles to a static binary that needs no runtime. |
| Rust | 1.96 · 1.95 | Installed via rustup (minimal profile), pinned and checksum-verified; build-essential rides along for the C linker cargo needs. A build-time dependency only — a Rust app compiles to a single binary that needs no runtime. |
Databases
| Service | Versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MariaDB | 11.8 | MySQL-compatible, the common default. |
| MySQL | 8.4 | |
| PostgreSQL | 18 |
Caches / key-value
| Service | Versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Valkey | 9 | Open-source Redis fork (BSD). |
| Redis | 8 | Note its license at selection time. |
Pinned, versioned, verified
Each version is pinned, so an install gives you the same software every time. Every install runs as steps ending in a check — a half-finished install is caught, not left silently broken. Bumping a version is a setting change, not a risky upgrade.
Site types (launched on top)
When you launch a site, you pick a type — a ready-made stack that installs and wires itself up for you:
| Type | What you get |
|---|---|
| WordPress | A full WordPress install — web server + PHP + database, unique salts, secure file permissions, hardened defaults. Choose nginx (FastCGI cache) or OpenLiteSpeed (LSCache) at create time, and tune PHP limits, OPcache and caching later in the site's WordPress settings. |
| PHP | A generic PHP app on PHP-FPM behind the web server. |
| Static | Static files served directly — the simplest, fastest option. |
| Node | A Node app under a systemd unit that restarts on failure and survives reboots. |
| Python | A Python app (WSGI via gunicorn or ASGI via uvicorn) under a systemd unit that restarts on failure and survives reboots — see Python sites. |
| Go | A Go app built to a single static binary and supervised by a systemd unit that restarts on failure and survives reboots. A compile error fails the build before the site serves — see Go sites. |
| Rust | A Rust app built with cargo build --release to a single binary and supervised by a systemd unit that restarts on failure and survives reboots. A compile error fails the build before the site serves — see Rust sites. |
| Docker | A containerized app run from a docker-compose.yml, per-app with its own port and route — see Docker site types. |
Every site type can also have a database, domains and TLS, git deploys, backups, and scheduled jobs — see Sites.

Catalog
The menu of software you can install into an instance — web servers, PHP, Node, databases, and caches — with pinned versions and clean, checkpointed installs.
Docker management
See and control every container across your whole fleet — status, health, CPU/mem/size, start/stop/restart/recreate/pull, live logs, and alerts — from one screen, with three zoom levels (fleet → instance → app).
