Hi,
I've been using CloudPanel for about a year and find it extremely useful and a pretty good alternative to everything that's in the market right now for developers who just want to host a few websites quickly with a UI instead of managing everything from the terminal. I really love the project.
I've noticed as well that the project runs on Symfony 6 (>=8.1.0), so I'd be glad to contribute to the project; however, the source code of CloudPanel isn't available as of now on GitHub, and the code that you find on each installation is fully obfuscated, making it quite difficult to contribute to it in this way:
How remote is the possibility that CloudPanel’s source code could be published and opened up for volunteer contributions? I mean, this could really speed up things regarding the situation of missing features that are quite important, such as:
1. Missing CLI commands to manage plenty of missing stuff, such as crontabs.
2. Enable maintenance mode on a website.
3. Since it looks CP uses SQLite, the database management allows currently a single active server (MySQL1, MySQL2, but I could have 2 websites and each connects to a different database host, so through the UI, the database viewer won't work when I switch to another, since I'd have to switch from one DB Server to another.
Besides, there were a few dangerous security flaws in the past regarding the authentication (CVE-2023-35885, CVE-2023-0391), so the official team needed to publish a new version with the solution, making it impossible for one to make a quick adjustment.
I'm sure plenty of developers may like more information about this, so that's one of the reasons why I'm daring to ask this in the forum. Any information about this is appreciated. Keep up the good work!
