Cyperpanel Deployment | Part 2

About

CyberPanel is a Linux control panel for Ubuntu and Enterprise-based Linux operating systems (OSs). It is built on the LiteSpeed web server to maximize performance. Whether CyberPanel is free depends on whether you want to use the free OpenLiteSpeed versus LiteSpeed Enterprise web server with premium tiers and the ability to use more domains, RAM, and PHP workers.

Cyberpanel & LSE Tweaks

Please watch video to follow with other configurations

Litespeed Admin Password

In order to access LSE admin interface on port 7080, we need to create our credentials.

sh /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/admpass.sh

and enter your password twice.

Enabling Crawler & TLS Enforcement

LiteSpeed Crawler is an integration of the LiteSpeed Cache plugin that can help speed up your website. The crawler goes through your website and updates the cached pages to reduce the waiting time for your visitors.

Open config file:

nano /usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd.conf

Add following underneath CacheRoot /home/lscache/

CacheEngine on crawler
SetEnv CRAWLER_USLEEP 1000
SetEnv CRAWLER_LOAD_LIMIT 5.2

Enforce only TLS 1.3

I always disable all TLS versions, except 1.3. I want to enforce latest TLS 1.3 protocol always.

Keep httpd.conf open and add this to SSLProtocol line.

all -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1 -TLSv1.2

Save file and exit CTRL+O & Enter and CTRL+X

That's it

Now your Cyberpanel instance is production ready and more secured.
