Preparing Ubuntu 24.04 server

Hostname, system update, SSH and resource check before panel installation.

  1. Check resources

    Verify RAM, disk and Ubuntu version. Minimum: 1 GB RAM, 20 GB free disk.

    lsb_release -a
    free -h
    df -h /
  2. Hostname and timezone

    Set a meaningful hostname (e.g. vps01 or panel.example.com). Align timezone with server location.

    sudo hostnamectl set-hostname vps01
    sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Zagreb
    timedatectl
  3. Update packages

    Update the system before installing the panel. Taking a VM snapshot in the hypervisor is recommended.

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  4. SSH access

    Log in as root or a user with sudo. uAdmin installation requires root.

    ssh root@<server-ip>
