Requirements

Panel

Component	Version
PHP	`8.2` or `8.3` (the panel runs on `php:8.3-fpm`)
Laravel	11.x (already ships with the panel)
Node.js	`>= 22` (to build the frontend)
Yarn	any recent version
MySQL / MariaDB	whatever the panel already uses
PHP extensions	`json`, `mbstring`, `pdo`, `pdo_mysql`, `posix`, `zip` (already included with the panel)
Queue worker	required: jobs run through `queue:work`; without a worker, domains stay `pending` forever

The addon doesn't introduce PHP syntax that requires a version newer than what the panel already needs (it uses constructor property promotion from PHP 8.0+, nothing PHP 8.3-only). If the panel starts, the addon runs with no extra language requirements.

Node (Wings)

Component	Detail
Go	`1.24.x` (toolchain `1.24.1`), only if you're compiling Wings yourself
nginx	installed and running, with the ability to reload (`nginx -s reload`)
certbot	`apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx`, only if you plan to allow Let's Encrypt on some node
Port 80	open and reachable from the internet, a certbot requirement (HTTP-01 challenge)
Wings permissions	must be able to write to `/etc/nginx/conf.d/pawproxy/` and `/etc/nginx/ssl/pawproxy/`, and run `nginx` / `certbot` without a password prompt

Quick checklist before installing

The panel already runs on PHP 8.2 or 8.3
A queue:work is running in the background (supervisor or systemd)
yarn and Node ≥22 available to rebuild the frontend
nginx installed on every node where the addon will be used
Port 80 open on those nodes (if you're going to offer Let's Encrypt)
certbot installed on those nodes (if you're going to offer Let's Encrypt)
