Just wondering about all the proper services and updates on an old hestia install

I’ve been running this hestia server for about 6 years keeping it updated and everything’s been great. I’m just wondering looking at my list of services if everything is current if anything needs to be removed or replaced?

Hestia got it first release in 2019

So this server can’t be running for 10 years with Hestia…

Looks fine

Thank you, seems like I have been using Hestia longer. I looked long and hard at a lot of products and I’m so glad I chose yours. I didn’t need all that other stuff and yours has been just perfect I can’t thank you enough.

And I really think I have been using it longer.

uh, doesn’t that Yuri PHP repository need to be changed?

All I remember is that I did a HORRIBLE job of that patch, I didn’t read about it. I completely butchered my server. I’m AMAZED that I haven’t had more problems than that to be honest. I get a hung mySQL service a couple of times per year.

I’m hoping I can build a ‘watchdog’ couple of scripts this next few months.

  • try to start mySQL
  • if it doesn’t work, then wait 30 seconds and try again
  • if that STILL doesnt’ work then wait an hour and schedule a reboot.

I’m also implementing similiar website uptime checks including DNS and all that shit on my Windows home network.

I just swear, NOTHING would be this complex if I just had GUARANTEED email deliverability.

HestiaCP first release was in 2019 before it didn’t exists …

You may confuse it with VestaCP…
