HestiaCP is the control panel on the Den’s Gateway VPS — the management plane for the Front Door. Rather than maintaining the Gateway’s mail and web services by hand, HestiaCP provisions and manages them: the Exim, Dovecot, and SpamAssassin mail stack, and the Nginx reverse proxy.

It runs natively on Ubuntu Server (Zone 1), no Docker. Telephony is the one Gateway service it does not manage — FreePBX and Asterisk run alongside it, on their own (see FreePBX).
