Ajenti open source free VPS host panel installation and general application setup process

Sometimes when we use WEB panels to manage website projects in VPS/servers, we may not necessarily exclusively use the panels we often hear about, such as WDCP, AMH, etc. in mainland China. We may use them more. In fact, Overseas there will be more great panels and the functionality and ease of use will be even better. For example, the ones we are familiar with include Kloxo, Virtualmin/Webmin, etc. The panel I want to share today has been mentioned by Ajenti before, so we can take a look at the interface and application functions.

Ajenti is a relatively well-known overseas Linux server management panel. It adopts Python architecture and can use plug-ins to configure Apache, Cron task schedule, file system, firewall, MySQL, Nginx, Munin, Samba, FTP and other tool applications. Before writing this article, Snail has installed the Ajenti panel on the server. The installation speed is very fast, which is quite attractive.

First, installation and deployment of Ajenti panel

Ajenti supports installation in basically any Linux environment, and we can correspond to the system environment we are familiar with.

A – centos6

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Eugeny/ajenti/master/scripts/install-rhel.sh | sh

B – centos7

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Eugeny/ajenti/master/scripts/install-rhel7.sh ​​| sh

C – debian6

wget -O- https://raw.github.com/Eugeny/ajenti/master/scripts/install-debian.sh | sh

D – Ubuntu

wget -O- https://raw.github.com/Eugeny/ajenti/master/scripts/install-ubuntu.sh | sudo sh

Commonly asked questions:

A – If the installation package cannot be downloaded, we need to run the yum clean metadata command

B – If port 8000 cannot be used, we need to open the port

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 8000 -j ACCEPT

C – Restart Ajenti panel

service ajenti restart

This is often used. For example, after installing a plug-in or setting up Simplified Chinese, you need to restart the Ajenti panel for it to take effect.

The installation is very fast. Seeing the above interface shows that the ajenti panel has been installed. We need to log in with https://IP address:8000. The default user name is root and the password is admin.

Second, Ajenti login and settings in Simplified Chinese

After we quickly deploy and install the Ajenti panel, we can use root/admin to log in to the panel.

After logging in by default, we can see a relatively simple interface in the background. We can first change the default password to confirm the security of the system, and set the Simplified Chinese language. The system comes with Simplified Chinese.

In the left menu, the Configure menu is used to set Simplified Chinese and other system settings, and the Password menu is used to set a new password. Here Snail will set up Simplified Chinese. Click Configure and select Simplified Chinese menu.

Select zh_CN for Simplified Chinese. We can also set the default port 8000 to other ports. This is also one of the factors to protect the security of the panel and VPS. We will keep the settings later. And we need service ajenti restart to restart the panel and log in again to take effect.

We can see the simplified Chinese interface of the ajenti panel. Isn’t it very friendly?

Third, plug-in function application of ajenti panel

The biggest feature of the Ajenti panel is its rapid installation, because after the default installation of the system, some components required for website projects are not installed. Instead, a plug-in mode is provided. After the system is installed, we can selectively press NGINX according to our own needs. Or component extensions required by projects such as MYSQL.

For example, we need to install the nginx website environment. Here we need to follow the above tips. If it is a yellow symbol, it means it is not installed. We need to select the installation configuration one by one.

In the process of installing the Ajenti plug-in, it is similar to the installation process of our SSH interface. We need to select commands according to the prompts, such as whether to continue and other operations. The main reason is that these are not installed when the panel installation is started, so the speed is relatively fast. The selection and installation of plug-ins here will determine the installation time based on the size and installation speed of different plug-ins and our VPS.

Fourth, Ajenti V virtual host management plug-in installation

Ajenti does not have virtual host management by default, but the Ajenti V plug-in mode needs to be installed separately later.

yum install ajenti-v ajenti-v-nginx ajenti-v-mysql ajenti-v-php-fpm php-mysqlservice ajenti restart

After installing Ajenti V and restarting the panel, we log in to the panel and see an interface like this.

We can see that there are more WEB website options on the panel. We need to activate it for the first time.

We can add a domain name to create a site in WEB website management, and configure website options after adding it.

We can set the domain name, port, SSL, content, advanced, process, and MySQL options for the current website. We can add binding domain name, set port, SSL customization, and add MYSQL database in the panel.

To summarize, the Ajenti panel has been installed. Whether we are ready to use it or not, if we have time, we can learn about it. After all, as a panel user, Ajenti provides many plug-ins, which may facilitate the use of some projects. . When deploying and managing the website, we need to install the Ajenti V component to manage the site.

Of course, we still need to explore more and better functions of Ajenti later. If Snail has time in the future, he will continue to explore its functions and applications.
