Getting started

1. Requirements

  • OS: a fresh, minimal Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server (22.04 LTS also supported). Don't install other control panels or web servers first.
  • RAM: 2 GB minimum, 4 GB or more recommended (ClamAV scanning uses extra memory).
  • CPU / disk: 2 vCPU and 20 GB disk or more.
  • Network: a public IPv4 address (IPv6 optional) and ports 22, 25, 53, 80, 443, 465, 587, 993 and 995 open.
  • DNS: a hostname such as server.example.com pointing at the server; ideally two nameserver records (ns1/ns2) for your own nameservers.

3. First-run setup

  1. Open the setup address and create your admin login.
  2. Go to Server Admin › License and enter the licence key from your email.
  3. Check Server Settings: hostname, nameservers and the contact email for alerts.
  4. Create a package, then your first account under Create a New Account. SSL is issued automatically once the domain points at the server.
  5. Turn on 2FA for admins under Hardening, and set a backup schedule in Backup Manager.

4. Updates

Updates are signed. Use Update Manager to update with one click, or turn on automatic updates.
