Managing cloud servers efficiently can be a daunting task without the right tools. CloudPanel, a modern and user-friendly control panel, simplifies this process by offering a powerful interface to manage cloud infrastructure. Designed specifically for cloud environments, CloudPanel provides an array of features that streamline server administration, making it a popular choice for developers and system administrators alike.

This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing CloudPanel on Ubuntu 22.04.

Step 1 – Install Necessary Dependencies

Before installing CloudPanel, you need to ensure that your server has all the necessary dependencies. These dependencies include gnupg2 and curl, which are essential for the installation process.

Open your terminal and execute the following command to install these dependencies:

apt install -y gnupg2 curl

Step 2 – Download and Execute the CloudPanel Installer

With the dependencies installed, the next step is to download and execute the CloudPanel installer script. This script will handle the entire installation process, setting up CloudPanel on your server.

First, use curl to download the installer script:

curl -sS https://installer.cloudpanel.io/ce/v2/install.sh -o install.sh

Once the script is downloaded, execute it using bash:

bash install.sh

After running the installer script, CloudPanel will be installed on your server. The installation process will take a few minutes as it sets up all the necessary components and configurations.

Once the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating that CloudPanel has been successfully installed. The message will also provide the URL to access CloudPanel.

Step 3 – Access CloudPanel

After successfully installing CloudPanel on your Ubuntu 22.04 server, the next step is to access the CloudPanel Web UI. This interface allows you to manage your cloud servers and services easily.

Open your web browser and access the CloudPanel web interface using the URL https://your-server-ip:8443. Since CloudPanel uses a self-signed SSL certificate by default, you might see a security warning in your browser indicating that the connection is not private. This is normal for self-signed certificates.

In Chrome, click on “Advanced” and then “Proceed to [your-server-ip] (unsafe)”. You will be presented with the CloudPanel user creation screen.

Provide your name, username, password, and email and click on Create User. You will see the CloudPanel login screen.
