VestaCP is a free and open-source hosting control panel that allows you to manage multiple websites, email accounts, databases, and more from a single interface. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install VestaCP on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation of VestaCP, you will need:

• A VPS or dedicated server running Void Linux
• Root access or sudo privileges
• An active and working domain name pointed to your server IP address

Step 1: Update System Packages

First, we need to update our system packages to the latest version. To update system packages on Void Linux, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Once the system packages are updated, we need to install the required dependencies for VestaCP.

Run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo xbps-install -y gcc make wget curl gawk gcc-c++ zip unzip git

Step 3: Download VestaCP Installer

Now that we have all the required packages installed, it's time to download the VestaCP installer.

Use the following command to download the installer:

sudo curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh

Step 4: Run VestaCP Installer

Once the installer is downloaded, we can run it using the following command:

This will start the installation process of VestaCP, and you will be asked to provide some basic information such as admin email, hostname, and more.

Please note that during the installation process, you will be asked to choose the following options:

• HTTPD Server (Apache or Nginx)
• DNS Server (BIND or nsd)
• Mail Server (Exim or Postfix)
• FTP Server (PureFTPd or ProFTPd)

Make sure to choose the options that best suit your requirements.

Step 5: Access VestaCP Web Interface

Once the installation process is completed, you can access the VestaCP web interface by visiting your server IP address or configured domain name followed by the port 8083. For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.0.1 and your domain name is example.com, you can access the VestaCP interface using the following URL:

https://192.168.0.1:8083
OR
