Problem install hestiacp on ovh

Hi, I tried to install hestiacp on a dedicated server on systems:

  • Debian 9.4 Stretch (stable) - debian9
  • Debian 8.10 (Jessie) (oldstable) - debian8
  • Ubuntu Server 18.04 “Bionic Beaver” LTS - ubuntu1804-server
  • Ubuntu Server 16.04 “Xenial Xerus” LTS - ubuntu1604-server

A notification always pops up “Installation script show Your operating system (OS) is not supported by
Hestia Control Panel. Officially supported releases: Debian 8, 9 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS”

It sounds like ovh adjusted the /etc/issue file we use for os detection: https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/2bfb8cf370947fba9f3b69c3f387fd7d84bdb116/install/hst-install.sh#L39

I would suggest to download the system installer directly and run it, have a look a few lines below the os detection.
