To install HestiaCP - WITHOUT PHP-FPM AND SECURITY FEATURES -, I have used the following command:


apt-get update && apt-get install ca-certificates
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh
bash hst-install.sh --port $HESTIAPORT --hostname $HOSTNAME --email root@$HOSTNAME -u $HestiaAdminAccount --password $HestiaAdminPass --phpfpm no --vsftpd no --sieve no --clamav no --spamassassin no --fail2ban no --interactive no
bash $HestiaBin/v-delete-sys-firewall
bash $HestiaBin/v-change-sys-config-value "THEME" "default"

I use the firewall from ConfigServer and did not need all these basic security features.

Good morning

I understand that you are working at the limit, but I think this answer is not suitable for users who are every day at the bottom of the barrel.

I also understand that we are noob in these matters, but I think this way of answering is unfair no matter how much of a leader you are.

Of course you will be tired of the same questions by novice users or with little knowledge, but I also imagine that there will be an action plan with approximate dates (roadmap) and we are simply directed towards it and so we do not repeat over and over again in the same questions (often stupid for lack of knowledge).

Don’t get me wrong but sometimes it takes some time to finish the product. When they release it with bugs people are also not happy so please don’t hurry things up.

Hi,

Your inclination towards the team is entirely wrong!

On the contrary, you should say how much thankful you are to the team members as well as all others, who are meticulously trying to help others here. It is a huge donation of their time.

After VestaCP died, this project has emerged to be one of the most significant one in the area of server management.

For Z_E_R_O charge!

So the last product labelled as stable is also a very powerful project available to you. While I am very critical on certain areas of coding - like “mail.domain.com” as hardcoding domain names, it is still one of the very best project existing on the internet. This is not only just open source. It goes way far beyond that. It is extremely flexible and customizable due to its backbone on bash scripts.

If you want to go ahead and install the latest 1.9-alpha, why dont you do this?

In that case, the only thing you need to make sure is to have the hestiacp services turned off or deactivated. It will not collect stats and renew certificates.

That is it.

Under the bin directory, there are many scripts that were developed years ago. They are stable. There are only a few that has some changes in its design or refactoring.

So install the 1.9-alpha and that should be fine on production also, if the HestiaCP service is secured. That is what I have done. All admin services - including HestiaCP - binds everyday only to listen to my router IP. So if you develop something like this, you will always be secured.

The only danger that came up was with the php-fpm exploit before a couple of months. That was a bomb explosion. Later one of the team members had confirmed to my question that the exploit has been patched already.

I do not know if this is patched in 1.9-alpha. Therefore, I am not using it. I do not need it also. You can follow the same by using my commands above and use the alpha version without php-fpm, if that exploit has not yet been patched in this version.
