WEB HOSTING CONTROL PANEL

clay

A complete hosting control panel — written entirely in Rust.

clay manages the whole hosting stack from one server-rendered admin UI — websites, mail, DNS, databases, FTP, accounts, SSL and security — with no JavaScript build chain, at build time or runtime.

ONE PANEL · WHOLE STACK

Everything a host needs

Websites & Domains

Domains, subdomains and aliases with per-domain web / PHP / SSL settings, a file manager, and a generated web-server vhost preview.

Mail

Mailboxes with forwarding and autoresponders, mailing lists, and per-domain DKIM / SPF / DMARC / spam / antivirus.

DNS

Zones and records — A/AAAA/CNAME/MX/TXT/NS/SRV/CAA/PTR — with DNSSEC signing.

Databases

Relational databases and users — provisioned and managed in-panel across the major SQL engines.

Security

A host firewall, a bundled rban intrusion-prevention daemon, and a web application firewall (WAF) — built in, not bolted on.

Platform & Tools

Containers, Git deploy-on-push, managed application runtimes, one-click app installs, scheduled tasks, a backup manager, statistics, an audit log and full config history.

VERSIONED · DECLARATIVE

A config store, not a pile of scripts

Every change is a revision in a versioned TOML store. The same model renders the live service configs — and the CLI inspects exactly what the daemon runs.

Built on the same foundations as the firewall appliance next door — an all-Rust control plane, a modular cargo workspace, and a server-rendered UI. cargo run -p clayd -- --demo → http://127.0.0.1:8880
