Configuration Guide

iNetPanel's configuration is managed through the Settings section of the admin panel (tabbed interface) and through environment variables set during installation.

Settings → General

Setting	Description
Panel Name	The name displayed in the admin dashboard header and browser title.
Hostname	Server hostname used in MOTD and internal references.
Timezone	System timezone used for cron job scheduling and log timestamps.

Settings → Cloudflare

Enable/Disable	Toggle Cloudflare integration on/off. When disabled, tunnel and DNS features are unavailable.

Settings → DDNS

Dynamic DNS keeps a Cloudflare A record updated with your server's current public IP — useful for servers with dynamic IP addresses.
