BlueOnyx Hosting Control Panel Ships Three Updates Including AlmaLinux 10 Build with PHP 8.5 support
BlueOnyx has refreshed its server distribution lineup with three concurrent generations, headlined by the new 5212R branch built on AlmaLinux 10 with PHP 8.5 and OpenSSL 4.x. The free, open-source hosting panel traces its lineage to Cobalt Networks and Sun Microsystems, offering a no-per-account-licensing alternative to cPanel across AlmaLinux 8, 9, and 10 bases. Recent updates include a newly released AI Assistant for server troubleshooting, a complete overhaul of 2FA implementation, and updated ISOs rebuilt with reproducible tooling for all three branches. Maintained by Michael Stauber, the project continues to provide a stable, multi-tenant web hosting platform complete with email, DNS, and database management without recurring licensing fees.

BlueOnyx has released three updates to its hosting control panel, including a new 5212R branch based on AlmaLinux 10 that supports PHP 8.5 and OpenSSL 4.x. The project, which has a history tracing back to Cobalt Networks, offers a free alternative to cPanel without per-account licensing fees, maintaining three concurrent server generations for different use cases. Recent enhancements include an AI Assistant for server troubleshooting, a complete overhaul of two-factor authentication, and the use of reproducible tooling for ISO builds. While BlueOnyx may lack the polish of modern commercial panels, it provides a stable and cost-effective option for self-hosters and small hosting providers looking for control without licensing complications
