In this tutorial we used Truehost Cloud VPS to install Cyberpanel on Ubuntu 20.04 OS. Cyberpanel is a web hosting panel that is linux based on LightSpeed server. You can always choose between installing it in a Centos or Ubuntu OS. In this guide we’ll use ubuntu OS.

Login to your VPS via SSH. In my case I used smartty.

Once Logged in run the command:
sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O – https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh).

Press 1 and Enter to confirm installation.

The installation questions:
Install cyberpanel on Open LiteSpeed/LiteSpeed enterprise: select Open LiteSpeed. Only select LiteSpeed enterprise when you have the license key. You can always start with Open LiteSpeed the upgrade to LiteSpeed enterprise.

Install Full cyberpanel. This will include PowerDNS, Postfix and Pure-FTPd.

Full installation [Y/n]: Y

The essence of accepting this is that with PowerDNS you can always create your own nameservers, postfix is for email hosting whereas Pure-FTPd will enable you to access FTP.

Do you want to setup Remote MySQL? (This will skip installation of local MySQL)

Default [=No] Remote MySQL [y/N]:No

Press Enter key to continue with latest version or Enter specific version such as: 1.9.4 , 2.0.1 , 2.0.2 …etc. Press Enter.

Choose “s” to set an admin password. Type the password and confirm it. However you may choose to proceed with the default password then change later, though that is a risky move. How to change the password later, you’ll login to your VPS via SSH and use adminPass command i.e adminPass newpassword (adminPass Vera524$dhcbs) then press enter, this should change your Cyberpanel password.

Do you wish to install Memcached extension and backend? Please select [Y/n]: Y. This helps in proving the speed of your site as it is an object caching system.

Do you wish to install Redis extension and backend? Please select [Y/n]: Y. It works as Memcached only that it is more efficient.

Would you like to set up a WatchDog (beta) for Web service and Database service ? The watchdog script will be automatically started up after installation and server reboot If you want to kill the watchdog , run watchdog kill Please type Yes or no (with capital Y, default Yes): Yes.  Watchdog checks on the status of your site.

After the installation questions the installation will begin and take a while up until you get the message below:
Would you like to restart your server now? [y/N]: y.
