took me hours but figured it out, there seriously needs to be a full video of at least a debian setup of this

for anyone else having issues, get through the install requirements (install mysql, php, etc, apache2 is not needed and will become an issue later)

after getting through the requirements, git clone this repo and navigate here and or execute the script on debian 12 (can be modified easily to fit any other debian version or skip over debian 12 specific packages) _scripts/debian12-standalone-install.sh

if ur on any other os then gl, the script will help to figure out how to get it running but otherwise ud need to know php

I advise against using the current installation script, as it installs Nginx and may cause conflicts with Apache2. Additionally, the script does not fetch the latest version.

Besides that I am actively working on a major update, which is expected to be released in about 4 weeks. This update will include:

  • Per User Domain Management
  • A reworked User Interface
  • A Records Manager in the Panel
  • Refurbished installation scripts
  • Updated documentation and tutorial videos on our YouTube channel

Thank you for your feedback

thats why i listed in the instructions that apache2 isnt needed and will cause an issue, though would really appreciate the update as right now its very confusing to setup. tried the install instructions on your page which didnt match up with the install script and ended up not working, mainly it wasnt able to login into mysql. theres also no elaboration on what exactly this means either

Begin by uploading the files located in the "_source" directory of this repository to your webspace.

i just assumed to put into sites-available and setup a apache config to set that as root (which an apache conf file is needed but no where in the instructions) also with your cronjobs setup it doesnt elaborate on how to set that up either (as you cannot just copy paste as is)

anyways, i look forward to the update, will work with what i got now.

Hi there,
hope everything you set up till now works as expected.
Just want to make a short update:

  • Next version will have a Docker Image which will make standalone deployment easier
  • Update will still take around 1-2 weeks (sorry for that, but work trouble)

Hope you include something for selfhosted/ non docker deploy, sure it'll be easier but managing internals is a pain (if u need to manually change something and/or don't have access to the ui at that moment) also on a personal level, I hate docker

bugfishtm commented

yes something for selfhosted will be included
