I want to uninstall and reinstall the entire HestiaCP from my server on Oracle Cloud Ubuntu 20.04

Can someone help me with the uninstallation and reinstallation of HestiaCP from my server as I cannot get the admin url working and I forgot the entire settings that I have done in my machine.

I remember, I have added cloudflare and SSL certificates to my machine.

Please help.

There is no way to uninstall, wipe the server and start with a fresh installation.

Can you give me the commands and steps to wipe the server and reinstall the HestiaCP please…

I am no voice but I can follow guidelines or instructions. Please help…

That’s out of the scope of this forum, please keep in mind that you should have basic sysadmin knowledge when you want to run hestia.

Wipe the server means basicly you reinstall your os.

Thank you Raphael… I will do that using online help from the Ubuntu 20.04 forums.

Just a note: Hestia no longer supports Ubuntu 20.04 (nor do the Ondřej PHP repositories), so if you’re going to install a fresh OS, it’s better to install Ubuntu 24.04.

Dear Sahsanu,

Thanks for your advise, I am able to login to HestiaCP finally but I want to know, if I can upgrade my server from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04 without wiping the server? Does it affect anything in HestiaCP ? Do I have to make any changes to the system and give any specific commands?

Please advise, Thanks for your support bro…

Yes, you can upgrade but not directly from 20.04 to 24.04, you should first upgrade to 22.04 and follow this instructions

I can’t tell you how to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, but there’s a lot of information out there.

Just make sure to read all the instructions carefully before and after the upgrade. And, this is really important, ensure you have backups of all your data, preferably with a copy stored outside that server, just in case.
