The most stable option OS is

Hello guys, I come here to share my operating system suggestion based on my experience gained during these 5 weeks of intensive testing on Cyberpanel.

I tested all operating systems and in all I had problems, absence of dependencies, poor configuration of some process or resource during installation, incompatibilities and difficulties in general. I’m not going to go into the technical details because that’s not the point.

The purpose here is to suggest the best operating system for Cyberpanel that has less chance of problems and greater assertiveness in the configuration “for people not so linux experts”.

What was most stable in my tests was Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, this was the only one that had the least number of problems, I needed only a few adjustments here and others there, but nothing that needed advanced action in the system. At least not so far. :slight_smile:

So that’s it, if you’re not so expert on Linux and don’t have as much skill to deal with serious errors and problems, start with Ubuntu 20.04.

And I say more, I believe that the team of Cyberpanel should do this more intense test and suggest in the installation which exactly the best, but I certainly believe that at least in this latest version (v2.3 Build 3) the most stable without a doubt is Ubuntu 20.04, this will definitely give you less headache if you are starting out as me. :wink:

It would be good if they made this initial suggestion in the installation documentation and pointed out exactly “which system is more stable and with better functional compatibility”, would avoid a lot of headache. =)

You have a lot of system options. Centos 7 was the worst of them, fortunately it is already pointed out in the documentation. But it would be good to point out also the Centos 8, the installation script does not even recognize the operating system in most installations (I particularly could not in any attempt with Centos 8), the process informs that it was not possible to identify the operating system.

That’s it, I hope to help, I would have liked that suggestion if i had seen it before. It would have prevented me from having so much headache and lost hours. :slight_smile:

Even on Ubuntu 22, I recently had another problem, which I even posted here today. But as I resolved, I blacked out because you had a lot of personal information.

Cyberpanel was not recognizing “.com.br” domains through OLS (I have no idea how this was possible).

But when I went back to Ubuntu 20.04, this was resolved. :slight_smile:

Hello!
Are you still recommending Ubuntu 20.04? It was my OS of choice, but as it is reaching its end of life after less than a year, I think it is better to look for a good alternative. What do you suggest?

Hi dear @hadi060 I recommend Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, I’m using it in some projects and everything is stable with the current Cyberpanel. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your reply. I’m currently using it as well. I’ve heard that Almalinux supports upgrading between versions without requiring you to migrate to a new server when the current version reaches its end of life. Have you tried anything similar to that?

Hi again, honestly I don’t see the need to use a system option, which you are not familiar with, just for the purpose of upgrading to new versions without “possible errors”.

In fact, you can update ubuntu as well, I’ve even done tests updating ubuntu completely from version 20 to 22, without any bugs or major problems that couldn’t be solved just by reinstalling some services or updating Cyberpanel itself.

Being locked into a system just for the idea of upgrading in the future, I don’t see that as a good long-term maintenance option. :slight_smile:

You are correct. As for Almalinux, I hadn’t used it previously. My preference was CentOS, the optimal choice for CyberPanel at the time. Subsequently, I started selecting Ubuntu 20.04, and currently 22.04. Regarding Ubuntu upgrades, I’ve heard about potential issues and the lack of recommendation, hence my consideration of Almalinux as a CentOS substitute.

In fact, any update of systems or control panels, there will always be errors or unforeseen events ahead. This has no way to change, on the side of the control panel, it can be kept stable, but when it comes to the system we can always expect problems.

But nothing that can’t be solved with some manual actions or reinstalls and restarts of some services and dependencies. :slight_smile:

If it’s on the same version as Ubuntu 22 and you just need to update packages and cyberpanel commits, it’s sure to work fine for a long time.
