Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ajenti is an open-source control panel that provides a web-based interface for managing a server and its services. It can automatically detect installed applications and services and provides options to manage them through the control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will explain how to install Ajenti Control Panel on an Ubuntu server, start the Ajenti service, and access the control panel through a web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before proceeding, ensure that you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. An Ubuntu server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Root or sudo access to the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Internet connectivity on the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A browser to access the Ajenti control panel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Install Required Dependencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Install the required packages on the Ubuntu server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    apt-get install wget sudo libc6<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 2: Add the Ajenti Repository Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Add the Ajenti repository key using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    wget http:\/\/repo.ajenti.org\/debian\/key -O- | sudo apt-key add -<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 3: Add the Ajenti Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Add the Ajenti repository to the server’s APT sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    echo \"deb http:\/\/repo.ajenti.org\/debian main main debian\" >> \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 4: Update the Repository List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Update the package repository information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt-get update<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 5: Install Ajenti<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Install the Ajenti control panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt-get install ajenti<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 6: Start the Ajenti Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Start the Ajenti service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    service ajenti start<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Access the Ajenti Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Once the installation is complete and the service is running, access the Ajenti control panel using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    https:\/\/<IP-address>:8000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Use the following credentials from the original installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Username: root\nPassword: admin<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    After logging in, change the default password to a secure password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Navigate to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Dashboard > Password<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Update the password before using the control panel for further server management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Verification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    To verify that Ajenti is accessible, open the following URL in your browser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    https:\/\/<IP-address>:8000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    If the Ajenti service is running correctly and port 8000<\/strong> is accessible, the login page should be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
