Installation and Configuration of FastPanel on Linux based Operating Systems
FastPanel is a powerful web hosting control panel that simplifies server management. In this guide, we'll walk you through the installation process on various operating systems.
Step 1: Download the FastPanel Script
wget http://repo.fastpanel.direct/install_fastpanel.sh
Step 2: Run the Scriptsudo bash install_fastpanel.sh
The script will perform pre-installation checks and install necessary components, including MySQL, web services (nginx, apache, php), ftp service (proftpd), and mail services (exim, dovecot). Additionally, it installs recommended software like Roundcube and phpMyAdmin.
Step 3: Configuration
FastPanel uses port 8888 on your server. Allow access to this port through your operating system's firewall. Examples are provided for different OS.
Example for Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo ufw allow 8888
Example for CentOS:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8888/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Check the current rules to ensure the port is allowed.
Example for Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo ufw status
Example for CentOS:
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
Visit your server's IP or linked domain name on port 8888.
http://SERVER_IP:8888 OR http://example.com:8888
You'll be prompted to enter your email address to receive a free license key for your new server. After approval, revisit your server IP, enter the admin username and password to accept the license agreement.
