Why did my FTP fail to connect?

Verify that ports 21 and 40110-40210 are allowed at the network firewall level. By default, they should already be allowed for each image at the system level.

How do I enable the crawler engine with LiteSpeed Enterprise?

Edit /usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd.conf from the SSH console. Find the <IfModule LiteSpeed> section:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheRoot /home/lscache/
</IfModule>

Update it by adding the line CacheEngine on crawler:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheRoot /home/lscache/
CacheEngine on crawler
</IfModule>

Visit CyberPanel at port 8090, and click Manage from Your Websites. Navigate to Configurations > vhost Conf.

Find all <IfModule LiteSpeed> sections:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheRoot /home/lscache/
</IfModule>

Update each one by adding the line CacheEngine on crawler:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheRoot /home/lscache/
CacheEngine on crawler
</IfModule>

How do I fix SSL issues?

If SSL renewal is not working, it may be due to recent ACME changes. Upgrade CyberPanel to fix the issue.

API creation

In addition to creating a Droplet from the CyberPanel 1-Click application using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API.

The following example creates a CyberPanel 22.04 Droplet called my-droplet in the NYC3 data center with 1 GB RAM:

curl -X POST "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets" \
    -d '{"name":"my-droplet","region":"nyc3","size":"s-1vcpu-1gb","image":"litespeedtechnol-cyberpanel-20-04"}' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"

In addition to creating an instance from the CyberPanel image using the AWS Management Console, you can also use the AWS Command Line Interface.

The following example creates a t2.micro instance with the CyberPanel AMI:

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-0b83ce8c34b39a3fb \
    --subnet-id <subnet-id> \
    --security-group-ids <security-group-id> \
    --count 1 \
    --instance-type t2.micro \
    --key-name <key-name> \
    --query "Instances[0].InstanceId"

Replace the placeholder values with your own settings.

Get the exact name of the CyberPanel image from LiteSpeed's project, gc-image-pub:

gcloud compute images list --project=gc-image-pub --filter="name ~ 'cyberpanel'"

Create an instance, replacing <instance-name> with the name of your choice and <image-name> with the name obtained from the previous command:

gcloud compute instances create <instance-name> --image-project=gc-image-pub --image=<image-name>

The first time you launch, you may need to accept the marketplace terms using the following command:

Get-AzureRmMarketplaceTerms \
    -Publisher "litespeedtechnologies" \
    -Product "cyberpanel" \
    -Name "cyberpanel" \
    | Set-AzureRmMarketplaceTerms -Accept

Find the release version you prefer:

az vm image list \
    --location westus \
    --publisher litespeedtechnologies \
    --offer cyberpanel \
    --all \
    --output table

Launch a VM from that image:

az vm create \
    --resource-group <resource-group> \
    --image litespeedtechnologies:cyberpanel:cyberpanel:1.0.2 \
    --name <vm-name> \
    --admin-username azure

Replace resource-group, image version, name, admin name, --generate-ssh-keys, and other options with your own preferences.
