In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Hestia Control Panel on Debian 11. For those of you who didn’t know, Hestia Control Panel is a robust, open-source web hosting control panel that can be used to manage websites, mail servers, DNS, and other web hosting functions from one central dashboard without the hassle of manually deploying and configuring individual components or services.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Hestia Control Panel on a Debian 11 (Bullseye).

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 10 or Debian 11.
  • It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
  • SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
  • A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
