In this guide, we will walk you through how to install CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed on Ubuntu 24.04. CyberPanel is a popular web hosting control panel powered by the OpenLiteSpeed web server and widely used worldwide. It is available for free when used with OpenLiteSpeed, but a paid license is required for LiteSpeed Enterprise. Therefore, the overall cost depends on the web server edition you select. CyberPanel includes a rich set of features, including web server administration, SSL certificate management, FTP services, Docker application management, DNS configuration, firewall management, one-click WordPress installation, and more.
Prerequisites
- A server running Ubuntu 24.04 OS
- User privileges: root or non-root user with sudo privileges
- At least 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk space
Update the system
Before beginning the CyberPanel installation, it is recommended to upgrade all system packages to the latest available versions. You can accomplish this by running the following command:
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y
Remove Unnecessary Installations
To ensure a smooth CyberPanel setup, the server should be in a clean state. In this guide, we assume you are using a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation. If not, you can run the commands below to disable and remove any existing services that might interfere with the installation process:
systemctl stop mysql.service || systemctl stop apache2.service || systemctl stop dovecot.service || systemctl stop postfix.service
Once the services are stopped, we can remove them completely with the following command:
apt purge mysql-server apache2 dovecot-core postfix -y
Once you run this command, you might see messages indicating that some services could not be located. This is normal and simply means those services were not previously installed, which helps ensure a smoother CyberPanel installation.
Install CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed
We have updated the system, stopped and removed unnecessary services, and are now ready to run the installation script.
To download the installation script, execute the following command:
wget -O installer.sh https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh
Set the right permissions to make the script executable:
chmod +x installer.sh
Execute the script:
sh installer.sh
The installation will start, and you should see the following screen:
