The full story

The poster, a developer, disliked the panel's corrupted MySQL tables after hard kills, lack of PHP switching and hand-edited vhosts. The replacement offers clean shutdown, PHP and MariaDB version switching with rollback, one-click local HTTPS sites and a php.ini editor.

It grew out of fixing a real outdated MariaDB, where Claude walked through redo log and Aria corruption errors. The poster directed behaviour and testing on their own install; Claude wrote most of the code and docs.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
