The Unicorn Stack

A complete first-party hosting stack

Unicorn Panel ships its own implementations of every core hosting service, branded under a mythology theme. Run your entire fleet on this stack and never install a third-party daemon, or keep the familiar engines. Both are first-class.

Why one stack

Uniform Everything

Every first-party component is built to integrate with the panel, so operating them feels like operating one product.

Uniform logging

Every role logs the same way and surfaces in the panel’s per-host log viewer.

Uniform metrics

Consistent metrics across web, mail, SQL, and DNS, one mental model for health.

Uniform restart semantics

Predictable start/stop/reload behavior and real exit codes to the init system.

One install path

One Alpine apk install plus one unicorn binary, with no Python or Java runtime to break on upgrades.

Mix and match

Your fleet, your engines

Choose per host and per site. The third-party engines remain fully supported. They’re an option, not a dependency.

One panel. One stack. Or bring your own.

Sleipnir, Hermes, Mimir, and Heimdall, or NGINX, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. Both first-class.
