Guides 11792 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The guide walks a reader through installing HestiaCP on a clean Ubuntu 20.04 system, starting with prerequisites such as a fresh install, root access, and an updated package list. It instructs the user to stop and disable any existing Apache or Nginx services before pulling the official installer script via curl, installing required packages like Python 3, Git, and utilities with apt. After running the downloaded install.sh with sudo, the script sets up nginx by default, creates an admin user, configures DNS and firewall rules, and outputs a randomly generated password that the reader must capture for first‑time login. The final parts of the article cover accessing the web UI over HTTPS, installing Let’s Encrypt certificates for the panel, troubleshooting common issues like port conflicts from leftover Apache configs, and providing quick fixes in a concise table.
