@Ympker - free, lifetime!

Thanks for the tag! You know how to get me hooked :P Need to grab this lifetime license haha
Thanks for sharing @Amadex

@PCx3 So, to get the free lifetime license all we have to do is install/use OpenPanel (at least) once during beta phase?

Happy to help my favourite German (well, after Claudia Schiffer - yes, I'm that old).

And here I thought, I was your #1

Is it just me or is the demo not working?

Seems that some browsers are blocking the login cookie from the demo in the iframe.. please use these direct links instead:

I know you are just a start up but, have you considered who will audit the code yet?> @bikegremlin said:

You are not alone in the old catagory my friend

No, simply installing the panel is sufficient.

I'll also simplify this information on the webpage for clarity.

Thanks! So as long as I install it on my vps now and note down server hostname and ip, you will know in the future that I am eligible for a free license?

Yes. Even if you lost that info, just message me here years after, you will still have your license!

Good luck with your project! Seems promising

Damn! Now installed Ubuntu Server minimum to a Vir VPS.
Someone said free.

AlwaysSkint · February 27

First stumbling block..
1. Due to shite antiquated Ubuntu Server text install, it's not possible to set the FQDN
2. I foolishly didn't correct this upon reboot, which seemingly caused the Openpanel SSL to fail
opencli admin creates an output in what appears to be a different character set/locale
3. bash <(curl -sSL https://get.openpanel.co/) --repair

Unknown option: --

Perhaps Ubuntu Server minimum is missing an assumed package?

[Later Edit]
Ran unminimize, retrieved the /root/install from curl, which then parses the options..

AlwaysSkint · February 28

Reinstalled Ubuntu Server, not choosing minimum install..

# Running the downloaded script with command-line arguments
/root/install -- "$@"

This appears to be the problem area; removed the -- and the options are parsed fine.

Still got an issue with characters sets, with an unreadable failure in hostname SSL generation and plans being created.
locale -a
C
C.utf8
en_GB.utf8
POSIX

During install..
/usr/local/bin/ufw-docker: line 7: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

@PCx3 Glad that you saw my comments as constructive.
Debian and free for up to 5 users would be pretty much spot on, I reckon.
If it weren't for Ubuntu (no place for it on a server, in my mind), I'd grab the opportunity on the Beta - what a great incentive, though.

Amen. Panel really looks great @PCx3, would definitely consider it for some free stuff but I just can't do Ubuntu for a real production server.

/root/install -- ”$@"

Well if you swear at the root, the touchy root is likely to get offended.

cybertech · February 28

debian thx.

AlwaysSkint · February 28

@PCx3 It's interesting to see that my observations are similar to one recent report in your forum. Is it not just a matter of installing another package, into the myriad of complications that are integral with Ubuntu? ( Snapd - cough! )

/usr/local/admin/scripts/server_info: ��VW�d�Z��8��N/bin/bash

Lovely stuff.

rcy026 · February 28

Just tried it on a clean Ubuntu install.

Something is f*cked with the character sets, some text come out unreadable.

The install script blocks ssh in the firewall. This is not a nice surprise when working remote, the installer should ask if it's ok to block ssh.

Running opencli does not work. It gives an error, but I do not know what it says since the character set is all fubar.
I will look into the character problem later, if I get it fixed I will tell you the exact error.

cybertech · February 28

same issue with the weird character

You should run a yabs. Then everything will be fine.

@PCx3,
best wishes for the project. I think every 2 years or so, a new panel causes some excitement, comments, and acceptance by service providers - DirectAdmin (2019/early 2020) after the FIRST cPanel pricing hike,
Virtfusion in 2021 (?), and now OpenPanel.

Nice to see some fresh tools.

AlwaysSkint · February 28

^ Seemingly it's to do with the shell compiler (encoded bash) that's being used.
I tried:

add-apt-repository ppa:neurobin/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install shc

To no avail. Need more info. from @PCx3 before continuing.

Generally, I stick with port 22 until a control panel is installed. Didn't experience any ssh issue.

I looked at the script and it seems to allow all traffic from the ip that the user running the script is logged in from, that's probably what saved you.

451: ufw allow from $ip_of_user_running_the_script > /dev/null 2>&1

I understand how they think, but I still dont like it. I protect my ssh myself, I do not need a script doing it without asking.

Or at least a warning and a flag you can set. I understand not necessarily making it easy because people are stupid but yeah that's not cool.

Yup, will make it optional then 👍

Agreed.

Please run this script and it should fix the problem with shc:
bash <(curl -sSL https://get.openpanel.co/downloads/fix.sh)

root@hs:~# opencli admin password admin secret_password

AlwaysSkint · February 28

Ran the fix (which allowed a sensible output from server-info)

bash <(curl -sSL https://get.openpanel.co/) --with_modsec --debug --skip-panel-check --repair

Creating Admin user..

/dev/fd/63: line 596: syntax error near unexpected token newline' /dev/fd/63: line 596:NULL DEFAULT 'user', is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL);" "INSERT INTO user (username, password_hash, role) VALUES ('admin', \"$password_hash\", 'admin');" > '

.

opencli admin password xxxxxxxXXX

Rebooted.

I've now managed to login to OpenAdmin only by using the IP, rather than hostname. Getting there..

AlwaysSkint · February 28

Getting a little pee'd off reinstalling the OS, to keep trying this out.
@PCx3 I think you guys REALLY need to start doing some of your own testing..
Ubuntu Server Latest (22.04.2 LTS)
Append FQDN for /etc/hostname
apt update
reboot
Run your (amended) install

Creating Admin user..
/dev/fd/63: line 596: syntax error near unexpected token newline' /dev/fd/63: line 596:NULL DEFAULT 'user', is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL);" "INSERT INTO user (username, password_hash, role) VALUES ('admin', \"$password_hash\", 'admin');" > '

Run your fix (which shouldn't be required now according to your forum)

Checking if FQDN and settings SSL..
ERROR: OpenPanel service not found or not running. Check OpenPanel service status and ensure it's running.

Why is Chromium & Firefox getting installed on a server?
Your interface doesn't seem to like a port range for the firewall settings.

AlwaysSkint · February 29

You’re gonna need a bigger boat VPS.
When creating a package: it looks like a user account needs 10GB minimum for docker, plus whatever the storage file is.

Can it customize mysql versions?

For example mysql 5.7

rcy026 · February 29

Made a new attempt today with a clean installation. The character set problem seems to be fixed, but now I get some new errors.

Tweaking MySQL configuration..
Populating the 'panel' database..
Database is ready.
Docker is configured.
Cleaning up..
/dev/fd/63: line 752: /usr/local/panel/conf/named.conf.options: Permission denied
Starting services..
Downloading docker images..
openpanel docker images are downloading in background.
Checking if SSL can be generated for the server hostname..
Error: Command 'docker/update_images' not found or not executable in '/usr/local/admin/scripts'
Creating hosting plans..

Yesterday after running the fix, it generated SSL just fine and used the correct hostname, so some things are actually going backwards.

There are some seriously stupid mistakes, like trying to execute /usr/local/admin/scripts/db.sh when it is in fact called /usr/local/admin/scripts/db. This is not third party or external, this is your own script, and you don't even know the correct path?
I know its beta but have you even tried running it? It is littered with really simple bugs that would take seconds to fix.
