One-liner

curl -fsSL https://get.panelze.com | bash

Community

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-community.sh | sudo bash

Pro (with license)

PANELZE_LICENSE_KEY="hv_..." curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-pro.sh | sudo bash

Review any curl | bash script in staging before production. Commands are maintained in deploy/ and synced via admin Appearance → Install commands.

After install, complete Post-install.

Install commands

Important: Run these only on a trusted Debian/Ubuntu VPS as root/sudo.

One-liner (recommended)

Runs on Debian/Ubuntu as root or sudo. Equivalent to the Community installer via get.panelze.com.

curl -fsSL https://get.panelze.com | bash

Community (Freemium hosting panel)

First install on empty server. If /var/www/panelze already exists, the same command auto-switches to safe update (sites + DB preserved).

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-community.sh | sudo bash

Safe update (Community)

Git pull + panel/frontend/engine + migrate only. Does not run migrate:fresh or wipe data/www.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-update-community.sh -o /tmp/panelze-update.sh && sudo bash /tmp/panelze-update.sh

Pro (licensed)

Replace hv_YOUR_KEY with the key from your purchase email or SaaS dashboard.

PANELZE_LICENSE_KEY="hv_YOUR_KEY" curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-pro.sh | sudo bash

Safe update (Pro)

Same as Community update; optional license key for Pro env.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/host/install-update-pro.sh -o /tmp/panelze-update.sh && PANELZE_LICENSE_KEY="hv_YOUR_KEY" sudo bash /tmp/panelze-update.sh

Remote install (git + bootstrap)

Clones into /var/www/panelze and executes deploy/bootstrap/install-production.sh.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim/main/deploy/bootstrap/remote-install.sh | sudo bash

Manual (operator)

Use when you already have git access and want full control before running bootstrap.

sudo mkdir -p /var/www
sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" /var/www
git clone https://github.com/coskunyunus1453/hostvim.git /var/www/panelze
cd /var/www/panelze
git checkout main
sudo bash deploy/bootstrap/install-production.sh

Panel update (after git pull)

Composer, migrations, frontend build — does not rebuild Engine unless you do it separately.

cd /var/www/panelze
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only origin main
sudo -E bash deploy/scripts/deploy-panel.sh

Rebuild Engine binary

Run when Go/engine code changed.

cd /var/www/panelze/engine
sudo go build -buildvcs=false -o /usr/local/bin/panelze-engine ./cmd/panelze-engine
sudo systemctl restart panelze-engine

Post-install repair

Fixes common MySQL credential drift, permissions, and service wiring after upgrades.

sudo panelze-post-install

First admin credentials

Written at the end of install.sh — change the password on first login.

sudo cat /root/panelze-admin-login.txt
