How to Install FastPanel on Rocky Linux 8
FastPanel is a user-friendly web hosting control panel designed to simplify server management and application deployment. With an intuitive interface and powerful features, FastPanel allows users to easily manage websites, databases, and more.
Disable SELinux:
FastPanel cannot function with SELinux enabled. You need to disable it before proceeding with the installation. Run the following command to temporarily disable SELinux:
setenforce 0
To disable SELinux permanently, edit the SELinux configuration file:
nano /etc/selinux/config
Change the line:
SELINUX=enforcing
to
SELINUX=disabled
Save and exit the file. You may need to reboot your server for the changes to take effect.
Update Your System:
Before installing any new software, it's a good idea to ensure your system is up to date. Run the following command:
dnf update -y
FastPanel requires some essential packages. Install them using the following command:
dnf install -y wget curl
Download AND Install the FastPanel Installer:
You can download the FastPanel installation script from their official repository.
wget http://repo.fastpanel.direct/install_fastpanel.sh -O - | sudo bash
