Let’s get started.

Some things to keep in mind

The installation process is simple, but we always have to keep in mind a few things.

The first thing is that it is advisable to do this tutorial in a clean system installation. This way, we will avoid any conflict between packages.

In addition to this, your user must have root permissions or be a user of the sudo group.

Remember that the power of the server will tell you how much you can take advantage of it. In this sense, the more powerful the better.

Installing Hestia Control Panel on Debian 11

The developers of Hestia provide us with an installation script that really makes the process easy.

So, before you start, connect via SSH to your server. Then, update it.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

After this, we need to make sure that the wget package is installed.

sudo apt install wget

Now, with wget installed, we can use it to download the script.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh

Now you need to assign the appropriate permissions to it:

chmod 755 hst-install.sh

What remains is to run the installation script with root user permissions

sudo bash hst-install.sh

After entering your password, the whole process will start.

First, it will start downloading and installing all the dependencies. During the process, you will have to enter a valid email address and FQDN.

Then you will see a screen with all the changes that the system will undergo. It is like a summary of what will be installed.

When the entire process is finished, you will see a screen like this.

There you will have the login credentials as well as the address you have to access. Finally, you will be informed that you have to restart the system for all the changes to take effect.

Once this is done, you will be able to open a web browser and access the Hestia login page.

When you log in, you will see the administration screen.

Enjoy!!!! Congratulations.
