Quick install
sh <(curl -s https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)
➡️ See guides/INSTALLATION.md (or docs/ on this repo) for platform-specific options and non-interactive installs.
Upgrade
The upgrade uses a modular loader (cyberpanel_upgrade.sh) that works on both stable and v2.5.5-dev. When run via the one-liner (no repo on disk), the loader fetches upgrade_modules/ from the chosen branch. Use preUpgrade.sh (recommended) or the direct loader URL below.
Upgrade to stable (recommended)
sh <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh || wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh)
PreUpgrade downloads the loader from stable and runs it with -b stable, so modules are taken from the stable branch. No -b flag needed.
Post-upgrade: verify email, DNS, SSL, and run a smoke test on key sites.
Upgrade to v2.5.5-dev
Use -b v2.5.5-dev so the loader fetches modules from the dev branch.
# Interactive (branch + MariaDB prompts)
sh <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/v2.5.5-dev/preUpgrade.sh || wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/v2.5.5-dev/preUpgrade.sh) -b v2.5.5-dev
# Non-interactive: v2.5.5-dev + MariaDB 11.8 (LTS) — recommended
sh <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/v2.5.5-dev/preUpgrade.sh || wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/v2.5.5-dev/preUpgrade.sh) -b v2.5.5-dev --mariadb-version 11.8
MariaDB options: 10.11, 11.8 (LTS default), 12.x (e.g. 12.1, 12.2). Use --mariadb for 10.11, or --mariadb-version X.Y to set explicitly.
# MariaDB 10.11
sh <(curl -sL .../preUpgrade.sh) -b v2.5.5-dev --mariadb
# MariaDB 12.1
sh <(curl -sL .../preUpgrade.sh) -b v2.5.5-dev --mariadb-version 12.1
Direct loader (advanced)
If you prefer to run the upgrade script without preUpgrade (e.g. already have the branch in mind):
# Stable (default; modules fetched from stable)
sudo bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/stable/cyberpanel_upgrade.sh)
# Dev (pass -b so modules are fetched from v2.5.5-dev)
sudo bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/master3395/cyberpanel/stable/cyberpanel_upgrade.sh) -b v2.5.5-dev
Optional flags (same as with preUpgrade): --mariadb-version 11.8, --debug, --mirror, etc.
Troubleshooting (common)
Command not found — install curl/wget/git/python3
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl wget git python3
# RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky
sudo yum install -y curl wget git python3
Port 8090 in use — find and stop conflicting process:
sudo ss -tlnp | grep :8090
sudo kill -9 <PID>
Logs & verification
systemctl status lscpd
curl -I http://localhost:8090

Recent fixes
- 02.02.2026 — Plugin updates: premiumPlugin & paypalPremiumPlugin unified verification (Plugin Grants, activation key, Patreon, PayPal, AES-256-CBC encryption). Installed Plugins UI: bulk activate/deactivate, freshness badges, removed Patreon messaging from front.
- 15.11.2025 — Hardened MySQL password rotation:
mysqlUtilities.changePasswordnow auto-resolves the backing MySQL account (user + host) even whenDBUsersmetadata is missing, preventing the historical[mysqlUtilities.changePassword] can only concatenate str (not "int")error. Regression tests live underTest/mysqlUtilities/, and you should restartlscpdafter deploying the patch so the helper reloads.
Testing

The OpenLiteSpeed feature test suite (128 tests) validates binary integrity, CyberPanel module, Auto-SSL config, SSL listener auto-mapping, .htaccess processing, ReadApacheConf directives, and more.
# Run from CyberPanel repo root
./tests/ols_test_setup.sh # One-time setup
./tests/ols_feature_tests.sh
