Hi.
So I am moving from a shared hosting with cPanel to a VPS with a CP.
I have so far tried VestaCP, I really like it. However of course some things are missing.
Recently I found out VestaCP is dead (according to many people on their forum).
Hence I am moving away from Vesta and considering Hestia.
When would 1.2 be official and
I would like to ask if Hestia has the same kind of features as Vesta, as well as things like fail2ban and SOFTACULOUS?
Fail2ban is supported. You can even consider CSF as a replacement for firewallD & Fail2ban instead.
However Lupu did a pretty decent job with stock utils where he implemented ipset filter for auto-blocking custom IPs, eg. spam, TOR, proxies, bruteforcers, etc. in v1.2.0.
Don’t hesitate & switch to Hestia CP right now. You won’t regret it
@martineliascz I want to switch now. However does 1.1.1 support Ubuntu 20.04? or is that only on 1.2?
I would like a stable release that supports Ubuntu 20.
Hence I was asking when 1.2 stable will be available.
@eris Thanks for the info. Since I am not an expert, I was also wanting to know how soon 1.2 stable will be here. If i am going to start from a fresh new server I might aswell do it on the latest ubuntu, rather than 18 then move it to 20. However if its still going to be a while then I dont mind just using 1.1.1 with Ubuntu 20
Currently 1.1.1 doesn’t support Ubuntu 20.04. It has been added to 1.2.0 and used by me for the last 3 weeks without any issue.
1.2 Release / Stable will be released next Monday 29 June 2020. We have tested it for over 3 weeks with different servers and there where minor issues with it that has been fixed by us.
So if you can wait 2 days I would suggest to do so
You could also consider installing 1.2.0 RC but the install process isn’t as easy as 1.2.0 release.
For those who are running 1.2.0 release candidate, please run apt update && apt install --reinstall hestia which will pull down the release package from our repository.
One of the boxes give this error :
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package –reinstall
Trying to update from 1.2.0. RC
Edit : i see there is a typo at the orginal thread about how to update, but cant make comment there so please modify the orginal thread and fix the typo:
Faulty update command : apt update && apt install -reinstall hestia
Good update command is : apt update && apt install --reinstall hestia
