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.compointing at the server; ideally two nameserver records (ns1/ns2) for your own nameservers.
2. Registration
SVRMGR licences are by registration only. Contact us to register and we'll get back to you with the next steps.
3. First-run setup
- Open the setup address and create your admin login.
- Go to Server Admin › License and enter the licence key from your email.
- Check Server Settings: hostname, nameservers and the contact email for alerts.
- Create a package, then your first account under Create a New Account. SSL is issued automatically once the domain points at the server.
- 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.
