## Decision facts: 1Panel

- **Requirements:** Min 1 GB RAM; Linux VPS required (Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / Rocky)
- **Adopt for:** 1Panel is a distinctive open-source VPS control panel with built-in support for Ollama models and OpenClaw agents, offering comprehensive server management through an intuitive web interface.

## Choose when

### Choose 1Panel if…

- 1Panel is primarily Go; PPOCoder is Python.
- License: 1Panel is GPL-3.0, PPOCoder is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 1 GB RAM; Linux VPS required (Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / Rocky).
- Tags unique to 1Panel: agent, docker, linux, ollama.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- - You require native support for running Ollama models directly through your VPS control panel.

### Choose PPOCoder if…

- PPOCoder is primarily Python; 1Panel is Go.
- License: PPOCoder is MIT, 1Panel is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to PPOCoder: code-generation, deep-reinforcement-learning, language-model, programming-language.

## When NOT to use 1Panel

- - If you do not need or want the specific features of Ollama models and OpenClaw agents support and prefer a more generalized VPS management platform.
- - For environments where existing tools already sufficiently manage your server stacks without requiring integration of AI agent functionalities.

## When NOT to use PPOCoder

- Last GitHub push was 914 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jan 9, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on PPOCoder.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
