How to Install VestaCP on Fedora CoreOS Latest

VestaCP is a free and open-source web hosting control panel that allows users to manage multiple websites, databases, email accounts, and DNS servers from a single web-based interface. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install VestaCP on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A server running Fedora CoreOS latest version
  • Root privileges on the server
  • A valid domain name and DNS records
  • A firewall installed and configured (firewalld)

Step 1 - Update the Server

Before installing any packages, it is recommended to update your server to the latest version available. To do this, run the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2 - Install VestaCP

The installation process of VestaCP is straightforward. To install it on Fedora CoreOS latest version, execute the following commands:

sudo dnf install https://repo.vesta.cp/fedora/vesta.repo
sudo dnf install vesta

The first command installs the VestaCP repository, and the second command installs the VestaCP control panel.

Step 3 - Access VestaCP

Once the installation is complete, you can access VestaCP at the following URL:

https://your-server-ip:8083

Replace your-server-ip with your server's IP address or hostname.

When you visit the URL, you will see a login page for the VestaCP control panel.

Step 4 - Configure VestaCP

After logging in, you will be asked to configure VestaCP. The configuration wizard will guide you through the process of setting up your server, including email, DNS, SSL, FTP, and more.

Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to configure VestaCP as per your needs.

Step 5 - Configure the Firewall

By default, the VestaCP installation will open the necessary ports in the firewall. However, it is always recommended to check your firewall settings and configure it accordingly. To do this, run the following command:

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8083/tcp --permanent && sudo firewall-cmd --reload

This command allows incoming traffic to port 8083, which is used by VestaCP, and makes the changes permanent.
