How to install Hestia control panel in Debian 12/11 Ubuntu 22.04

[Sandeep B.]

In this tutorial we’ll learn How to install HestiaCP control panel which is similar like vestacp and made by one developer of vesta control panel. Since Vestacp is not updating there features anymore and it seems dead project already I recommend you to move to Hestiacp as soon as possible. They have some extended features in there panel and there forum support is excellent.

Make sure that your server is running a supported operating system :

• Debian 10
• Debian 11
• Debian 12
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Also ARM server will also work with hestia cp. Our website alphagnu.com also uses ARM server with hestia cp.

I recommend to use debian 12 or debian 11 for stable production environment.

apt install sudo wget curl

Download Hestiacp install script :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh

Step 3: Run below command according to your software choice :
Ensure you change this with your details in below installation flag :

Quote

 --hostname server.domain.tld --email admin@gmail.com --port 8083 --password admin_password

**here port 8083 is the admin/user gui port for hestia cp you can chnage the port too by changing the --port 8083 to your fav port number.
