Quick Start Guide (Linux / VPS / Ubuntu Server)
Log into your Linux VPS and run:
# 1. Download
wget https://github.com/jimbon25/mini-cpanel/releases/download/v1.0.0/mini-cpanel
# 2. Grant execute permissions
chmod +x mini-cpanel
# 3. Start the server (runs on port 8080 by default)
./mini-cpanelOpen http://YOUR_VPS_IP:8080 (or your custom port) in your web browser to start the Web Installation Wizard.
Note
All database settings, user accounts, and project configs are stored in a folder named cpanel-data/ created automatically next to the executable. Keep this folder to retain your configuration and projects.
Warning
For remote VPS deployments, if the page buffers or times out, make sure you open the selected port (e.g. 8080) in your VPS provider's firewall dashboard.
