How To Install TinyCP on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TinyCP on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, TinyCP is a most popular lightweight control panel, that provides a wide range of features on a Linux system, which features include control domains, mailboxes, databases, VPN, FTP connections, etc. Currently, TinyCP is available for Ubuntu and Debian users only.

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 TinyCP lightweight Linux control panel on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, and more as well.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint.
• 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.

Install TinyCP on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish

Step 1. First, make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running the following apt commands in the terminal.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install wget apt-transport-https gnupg2 software-properties-common

Step 2. Installing TinyCP on Ubuntu 22.04.

By default, the TinyCP is not available on Ubuntu 22.04 base repository. Now run the following command below to add the TinyCP repository to your Ubuntu system using the following command:

Next, import the GPG key using the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://repos.tinycp.com/ubuntu/conf/gpg.key

After the repository was successfully added, you can then proceed to install TinyCP on Ubuntu using the command shown in the output below:

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 59796/tcp
sudo ufw enable

Step 4. Accessing TinyCP Web Interface.

Once successfully installed, open your web browser and access the TinyCP Web UI using the URL https://your-IP-address:59796. Ignore the self-signed certificate warning and click on Advanced and Proceed to continue to TinyCP. You will be redirected to the following page:
