How to Install FastPanel on a Server

FastPanel is a free and user-friendly server control panel
that allows you to easily manage websites, mail, databases, and
other hosting components through a graphical interface. In this article,
we’ll go through a step-by-step guide on installing FastPanel on a server
running a Linux operating system.

System Requirements

Before starting the installation, make sure your server meets the following requirements:
  • Operating System: CentOS 7/8, AlmaLinux, Debian 9/10/11, Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04
  • Configuration: from 1 CPU core, 1 GB RAM, and 20 GB disk space. You can order a server via your personal account starting from $3.69

Step 1: Preparing the Server

  1. Connect to the server via SSH:
    ssh root@your_server_ip or use Putty
  2. Make sure the system is up to date:
    # For Debian/Ubuntu apt update && apt upgrade -y
    # For CentOS/AlmaLinux yum update -y

Step 2: Downloading the Installation Script

Download and run the official FastPanel installer:

wget https://repo.fastpanel.direct/install_fastpanel.sh -O - | bash -

The script will automatically handle all required actions:
install dependencies, download panel files, and initialize the system.

Step 3: Panel Activation

After installation is complete, you will see a message with the login URL for FastPanel, for example:

https://your-server-ip:8888

Open it in your browser. On first login, the system will ask you to activate
the panel. Enter your email address — a license key will be sent to it.
Activation is free.

Step 4: Panel Configuration

After activation, you will be able to:
  • Create new users
  • Add domains and websites
  • Manage mail, databases, SSL, etc.

The interface is intuitive and suitable even for beginners.
