control panel install

[hunterp93]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me install the hestia control panel on my vps, I'm still learning command line stuff and am afraid I'll frickin break something. I do have a domain I can point to the ip, but I'm not sure if I set that up when I login to hestia or not, if someone could explain what I do next after it's installed that would be very helpful. A suggestion for a tutorial would be helpful if maybe at some point, someone could do a youtube video or online walkthrough on how to install it on a fresh vps, I would like to learn for the future, and I think it would be fun for others to learn as well. Thanks for the help.

This support request is being escalated to our VPS admins.

It's probably going to be a few months if not a year before Hestia support Ubuntu 26. When Ubuntu 24 came out in April 2024 I don't think Hestia officially supported it until early 2025, but we did have a few people on Ubuntu 24 running the beta version of Hestia for a while in October 2024 or so. If you want to use Hestia you'll either need to switch back to Ubuntu 24 or wait a few more months.

Yeah, my brother told me something about that after I submitted my request, how do I switch back to 24, do I have to request a rebuild or something? It's not really urgent I use hestia, I do know enough command line to install a web server and host a simple site without a control panel.

We can switch you back to Ubuntu 24 if you want. Let us know what you'd like to do.

Sure, that would be fine, I'll switch back, I should be able to install hestia myself, or if I don't want that, I can just install a web server following the tutorials on the wiki.
