Its own technology stack
Containers, the web server, certificates and agent tools are selected and configured to work together from the first start.
System requirements
Prepare your environment for ContextAdmin
You install ContextAdmin on a server you administer. You need Linux with systemd and administrator privileges; on Windows you can set up such an environment in WSL.
System and privileges
Installation has been tested on Debian 13. The installer supports the apt, dnf, pacman and apk package managers. It requires systemd and root or sudo access.
Working on Windows
You run the panel inside WSL with systemd enabled. The Local plan is meant for local projects.
Memory and space for projects
The starting point is 2 GB of RAM. The panel binary takes about 160 MB; plan extra memory and disk for applications, databases and backups.
Access over the internet
For your own domain and certificate you need a correct DNS record. You can also set up access to the panel through an IP address or an SSH tunnel.
Getting started
Step-by-step installation
Download the installer and answer its questions: purpose, panel access, software, license key and administrator password. Running it again updates and repairs the installation while keeping your data, projects and license.
step-by-step installation
curl -fsSL https://dist.contextadmin.com/setup -o setup.sh
sudo bash setup.sh
# answer the questions and check the summary
# confirm the settings before the installation starts
Ready-made environment
Its own stack and configuration
You install a carefully prepared technology stack with ready configuration, security and optimization.
Security as standard
We built a secure structure for hosting and publishing in containers, based on the experience of our developers.
Optimization and housekeeping
Log limits, projects restarted after a server reboot, a separate port for each project and application uptime checks.

The AI accounts are yours. Add profiles for the accounts you use and pick one when you start a session. You pay for model access separately, directly to the provider.
