Welcome back. Today we're diving into
0:02
how to self-host Cloud Panel on your
0:04
server. If you're tired of complicated
0:07
server management or just want something
0:09
clean, fast, and efficient for any web
0:11
application, this video is for you.
0:18
Cloud Panel is a free, modern, and
0:21
straightforward server control panel
0:22
that lets you manage your server like a
0:24
pro. Whether you're running PHP,
0:26
Node.js, JS or even Python applications.
0:30
The best part, it's designed for high
0:32
performance tech stacks, so it's perfect
0:35
for developers and CIS admins alike. You
0:37
can set up Cloud Panel on any server. In
0:40
this demonstration, I chose the Oracle
0:42
Cloud instance. You can get started
0:44
managing your servers in no time. Step
0:48
one, deploy a fresh server.
0:52
First, you need to create a server on
0:54
your favorite server provider. If you're
0:56
looking for a cheap server provider,
0:58
check out our website. I use Oracle for
1:01
this video. I am going to speed up the
1:03
process because this process differs
1:05
from provider to provider. I will
1:07
explain common selections you should
1:09
make during the process.
1:13
During the selection of an operating
1:15
system for the server, choose an Ubuntu
1:31
The next important thing is SSH access
1:34
to your server. Don't forget to upload
1:36
your SSH keys. This step is important
1:39
for secure access to your server. If you
1:42
don't have keys yet, you can generate
1:44
them right from Oracle's interface and
1:46
download them. For other server
1:48
platforms, most of them offer a password
1:51
signup method. You can find it in their
2:05
Step two, connect to the server
2:09
After deploying the server, you have to
2:11
connect to it through an SSH connection.
2:14
You can use any SSH client you prefer. I
2:17
am using the Bit Vice client. Here you
2:20
have to add the IP address of the server
2:21
and an authentication method simply
2:24
username and password. For Oracle cloud
2:26
Ubuntu server the username is Ubuntu and
2:30
authentication is via the public key
2:32
that you downloaded previously.
2:47
Step three, install cloud panel. Once
2:51
you connect to the server, switch to the
2:55
Now let's update the system and install
2:57
required packages. Run the command.
3:23
Once that's done, let's run the cloud
3:25
panel installer. You'll be choosing your
3:27
database engine here. For this demo,
3:30
we'll go with MySQL 8.4. Just run this
3:34
command. This installation takes time.
3:37
Sit back and wait until it is finished.
4:10
Now the installation is completed. it.
4:12
You need to open some ports of the
4:14
server before checking the cloud panel.
4:20
Step four, configure firewall.
4:23
To make sure cloud panel can communicate
4:26
properly, we need to whitelist a few
4:28
important ports 80, 443, and 8443.
4:33
In Oracle Cloud, just click on your VCN,
4:36
go to the public subnet, and under
4:38
default security list, add the ingress
4:41
rules for these ports. Use the
4:43
instructions of your server provider to
4:45
whitelist the above ports.
5:06
Step five, access Cloud Panel. After
5:10
installation, it's time to access Cloud
5:12
Panel. You'll need to reboot your
5:14
instance for everything to take effect.
5:17
Once done, open your browser and
5:19
navigate to the address below. Now,
5:21
you'll see a warning about the
5:23
self-signed certificate. No worries,
5:25
just click advanced and proceed to Cloud
5:28
Panel. When you login in for the first
5:30
time, you will see this window. To
5:32
create an admin user, set a strong
5:35
password and username for the admin user
5:46
Then you can log in using those
5:47
credentials. And that's it. You've just
5:50
set up Cloud Panel on Oracle Cloud in a
5:53
few simple steps. You're now ready to
5:55
manage your server with ease. Running
5:57
applications in a high performance
5:59
environment. Remember, Cloud Panel is
6:02
all about simplicity, so managing your
6:04
server just got a whole lot easier. If
