Installation

HivePanel uses a central Panel (Laravel) and one or more Nodes, each running the Go Worker. The Panel and Worker can run on separate machines.

Recommended order

1. Check release-specific requirements.
2. Create the Panel application database.
3. Follow the full Panel installation guide.
4. Review Panel configuration.
5. Prepare a Node and install Worker.
6. Connect Worker, configure allocations and assign any Cell database hosts to the Node.
7. Complete the post-installation checks.

Fresh install versus upgrade

Do not generate a new APP_KEY, run destructive migrations or rerun first-install bootstrap steps on an existing Panel. Use the upgrade guide.
