SSH and config page Broken after update HestiaCP & Ubutun

Hello.

First of all, thanks a lot for this powerfull, easy and complete control panel:

Resumen

I consider HestiaCP it’s the best existing solution in general. There may be others better or with different functions, I don’t want to hurt anyone, but the truth is that it has fantastic functionality. I’ve had a VPS with this panel for a year now and the forum has been incredibly helpful for troubleshooting (more than 7 times I solved serious problems just by reading the forum). But unfortunately I am running into a problem that I can’t solve.

I had an installation on Ubuntu 22 with HestiaCP. I upgraded HestiaCP without problems until the current version 1.8.12 (amd64). I made a system image and I was encouraged to migrate from Ubuntu 22 to Ubuntu 24.04 (x86_64).

I had no problems except with two:

  • ProFTP stopped working, but I fixed it with.
    apt install proftpd-mod-crypto
    The service was restarted with
    systemctl restart proftpd
    and it magically started :magic_wand:

Thank you very much @Digioso for:

  • The SSH service stopped working, and I can’t start it.

Icon appears as stopped. Unable to start or restart: says there is a misconfiguration. I tried to copy the default configuration that hestiacp has after installation but it doesn’t take it either.

All texto of the hestiacp are now in English. I had it configured in Spanish, but since this problem that configuration is gone.

I can login and go to /list/server/ but I can’t go to configure button, give me error 500… But I can access to other areas like Task Monitor!

I run
v-list-sys-services json
to see the services:

I also do this solution of @sahsanu for a similar problem
Install default config of SSH (by sahoso)
but doesn’t fix it :cry:

Thank you very much for reading me and I am at your disposal for anything, I hope I don’t have to reinstall because it is a production server with several projects of my own running.

Hestia 1.8.2 doesn’t support Ubuntu 24.04 for a reason

for now the only fix to update to 1.9.0~beta

Great little detail that I didn’t realize, thanks for waking me up @eris !!

I always see you replying to everyone, I did not expect this privilege myself. Thanks! :grin:

What are the problems I may have when continuing with version 1.8.12 on ubuntu 24?
Is SSH just for login console? or is it useful for other functionality like letsencrypt generation?

In 1.9 there was the same problem, it may have been fixed, but until recently SSH also did not start Ubuntu 24.04

well… I must wait a new version… I will try to update the minimum for don’t loose functionality of hestiacp
