Let’s get started!

CyberPanel Server Requirements

Before anything else, first things first. Below are the server requirements of CyberPanel on Contabo.

My Contabo VPS Specs

The VPS starter plan of Contabo has a powerful specs powered by AMD EPYC 7282 processors and NVMe SSDs plus an immense amount of traffic and hefty RAM.

With this kind of specs, CyberPanel is absolutely compatible with Contabo.

How to Install CyberPanel on Contabo VPS

Step 1. Login to Your Contabo Server Via SSH

I used PuTTy to login to my server.

Step 2. Login as ROOT

Be sure to login as ROOT and not the username admin to have full access/permission on your server.

Your password is the one you entered during checkout. Just copy and right click to paste it on PuTTY. Note that it will not display your password for security purposes.

Step 3. Update Packages

Copy and right click paste the following command.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This is how it looks like.

Wait for the update to finish.

Step 4. Run the CyberPanel Installation Script

Just copy and right click paste it to the command line and wait for installation choices on the next step.

sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)

Step 5.  Select Litespeed Version

Once you encounter CyberPanel Installer v2.3.2, Choose 1.

You will be then given two choices which LiteSpeed version you’d like to install.

OpenLitesSpeed allows you to have unlimited domain while LiteSpeed Enterprise allows you to have single domain with a 2GB RAM limit.

In this case, I’ll be choosing 1. Install CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed, since Contabo have 8GB RAM. It’ll be a waste if I have only one domain running unless it is resource-needy application.

Step 5. Choose Installation Options and Add ons

After choosing CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed, you will be prompted with this message:

I chose the Full service installation. Just type Y in the command line.

I chose No. Just type N in the command line.

If you want to have a specific version of CyberPanel installed, type its version or click Enter to install its latest version.

I chose to generate new password. Just type r in the command line. After the installation, you’ll be given a randomly generated password.

I chose yes. Just type Y in the command line.

I chose yes. Just type Y in the command line.

I chose yes. Just type Y in the command line.

Step 6. Final Installation

Once the installation is finished, you will be presented by the following credentials.

Step 7. Restart your server

Just type Y to restart your server.

Step 8. Access your newly installed CyberPanel

Accessing your CyberPanel through your browser needs an 8090 port. To do that go to https://<your server IP address>:8090

For example, your server IP is 79.143.182.242, just add 8090 after 242. It will now be 79.143.182.242:8090

Once you’ve access your CyberPanel, your browser will prompt a security warning.

Just click Advanced > Accept the Risk and Continue.

You will now see the CyberPanel login page.

Use your credentials displayed awhile ago after the complete installation of CyberPanel.

Username: Admin

Password: Your password generated/set up during installation
