I just downloaded Ubuntu 20.04, and thought I’d try installing Hestia on it, to give you guys some feedback. I notice the install script doesn’t reference 20.04 yet. Is there a process for testing? Another branch of install files we can use?
Maybe if others want to try this, we can all share our feedback in this thread?
We’re currently waiting for mariadb and sury to completely support Ubuntu 20.04, then we will start testing. Currently there is already a testbranch, but without support of the used repos, it doesnt make that much sense to try it 
.
https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/tree/core-ubuntu-20.04
Edit: Sury has already uploaded packages for 20.04, only MariaDB ships currently only 10.5 beta.
Fair enough. Will wait until mariadb updates. Just checked Digital Ocean, and their Ubuntu 20.04 droplets are ready to go there …
Noticed you’d decided to go with the default focal mariadb at version 10.3, so I thought I’d give it another go. Got the following
E: The repository ‘http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu focal Release’ does not have a Release file.
E: The repository ‘https://apt.hestiacp.com focal Release’ does not have a Release file.
You might consider also going with the default nginx on focal which is 1.17.
root:~# apt policy nginx
nginx:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.17.10-0ubuntu1
Version table:
1.17.10-0ubuntu1 500
500 http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
Then just the hestiacp repo to set up …
Also noticed, that apt-transport-https isn’t installed by default on focal. You might want to add that to your list of pre-flight checks, if you think its important.
Even if you made these changes temporarily, they’d allow us to get testing.
Sury repository does also miss the php packages, currently the repositories arent ready yet.
We’ll have to wait at least for sury to get all php packages.
Nginx repos are up. Still only 10.5 beta from mariadb

Again a small update: There are some bugs that need more work than expected - we’ll do our best to fix them and provide the OS support as soon as possible!

And Hestia too. Ok, we’ve got now a working installer for ubuntu 20.04, also our repository has got new packages for the new release name (php, nginx, and hestia).
It would be awesome, if everyone could test the new installation script and also hestia itself (add domains, create certificates, test mail services…) and report us any issues.
You’ll find the new installer script in the core-ubuntu-20.04 branch on github: https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/tree/core-ubuntu-20.04
Fast way to install:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/master/install/hst-install-ubuntu.sh
bash hst-install-ubuntu.sh

-e and -p works also fine. How ever --email and --password are the “long” string alternatives.
Give me a few minutes and will try it on my own… With a local test server
