HestiaCP is a free web server control panel. It is a fork panel of VestaCP.
In the same simple and clear web interface. The command line interface is the same as VestaCP.

In this article, we are installing HestiaCP on a server running Ubuntu 20.04. This panel also supports other operating systems. Such as:

Debian 10
Debian 11
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

So, for starters, let's update the packages on the server.

apt-get update && apt-get update -y

Now we need to add the repository key for HestiaCP in order to be able to order the necessary packages.

wget -qO - https://gpg.hestiacp.com/deb_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -

Paste the latest version of the ca-certificates package

apt-get install ca-certificates

Now we can use the install script download:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh

And enable the panel setting interactively in the console. But in such cases, packages and services are installed by default.

-a, --apache Install Apache [yes|no] default: yes
-w, --phpfpm Install PHP-FPM [yes|no] by default: yes
-o, --multiphp Set Multi-PHP [yes|no] default: no
-v, --vsftpd Install Vsftpd [yes|no] by default: yes
-j, --proftpd Install ProFTPD [yes|no] default: no
-k, --named Set binding [yes|no] default: yes
-m, --mysql Install MariaDB [yes|no] default: yes
-g, --postgresql Install PostgreSQL [yes|no] default: no
-x, --exim Install Exim [yes|no] by default: yes
-z, --dovecot Set Dovecot [yes|no] default: yes
-Z, --sieve Set sieve [yes|no] default: no
-c, --clamav Set ClamAV [yes|no] default: yes
-t, --spamassassin Set SpamAssassin [yes|no] by default: yes
-i, --iptables Set Iptables [yes|no] to default: yes
-b, --fail2ban Set Fail2ban [yes|no] to default: yes

-l, --lang Default language: en
-y, --interactive Install interactively [yes|no] default: yes
-s, --hostname Set hostname
-e, --email Set administrator email address
-p, --password Set administrator password
-f, --force Force installation
-h, --help Print this help

Therefore, we love fruits https://gabizz.github.io/hestiacp-scriptline-generator/ where you can generate a string with the desired parameters.

Copy the money supply to download the installation files. Paste into the console.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh

After downloading the file, copy the second package with all the keys that are needed for installation and paste it into the console. If necessary, I install PHP-FPM and Multi PHP. The domain, mail and password are also known. If you do not use it, if we talk about security, then after the installation is completed, it will be generated automatically.

During the installation process, the removal of ufw will be requested, we agree, since we will use iptables.

We are waiting for the installation of the HestiaCP panel to finish. This may take 15 to 25 minutes.

After the installation is complete, the server will need to be rebooted, so copy the panel access data for the admin user if you did not specify a password at the beginning.

If you still didn’t find it or forgot it, you can reset it using the command:

/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password admin PASSWORD

where: admin is the network user, the password will be set;
PASSWORD is your new password. (replace it with whatever you want)

After restarting, you can connect to the panel via the domain with the port that was specified during installation, or via IP.

https://your_IP:8083

IMPORTANT!!!
Assigned by domain for security. Also, when going to the phpMyAdmin panel, having received a domain and not an IP.

Now you can connect to the HestiaCP panel

In the next article, we'll add a user and a domain that could be deployed to a site. You can read this article https://zomro.com/blog/faq/223-sozdanie-bazy-dannyh-v-paneli-hestia
