Recommended CloudPanel Settings – Ivan Carlos Consultoria

You can check out the Linux Scripts project, which automates some CloudPanel improvements:

System update and installation of essential packages (before installing CloudPanel):

Updates the operating system and installs essential packages such as sudo, nano, fail2ban, and cron:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivancarlosti/scripts/main/linux-scripts/server-prep.sh | sudo bash

Important panel settings:

Panel site backups: https://[domain]/admin/remote-backup
Panel domain (default port: 8443): https://[domain]/admin/settings
Panel time zone: https://[domain]/admin/instance/settings
User 2FA: https://[domain]/security
User time zone: https://[domain]/settings

Important Redis settings:

Redis recommends that the vm.overcommit_memory setting always be 1. Also, configuring a bind that is not yet available can prevent Redis from starting. You can run the lines below to add vm.overcommit_memory = 1 and net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 to the /etc/sysctl.conf file and then apply the configuration by running sysctl -p:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivancarlosti/scripts/main/linux-scripts/redis-setup.sh | sudo bash

You can check whether Redis displays this recommendation or any other error in its log by running:

sudo tail -f /var/log/redis/redis-server.log

You can check the execution queries that reach Redis with this command:

redis-cli monitor

Disabling unused services:

This script disables PHP versions older than 7.4, as well as other unnecessary services such as memcached, postfix, and proftpd:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivancarlosti/scripts/main/linux-scripts/disable-services.sh | sudo bash

Main nginx configuration, including removal of the old GeoIP and updating security header rules:

Resets nginx rules, including GeoIP removal and performance and security optimizations. It usually has no impact on applications:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivancarlosti/scripts/main/linux-scripts/cloudpanel-fix.sh | sudo bash

Installing specific systems in CloudPanel:

For YOURLS installations, where it is necessary to change the search for index.php to yourls-loader.php, modify the try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; entry as follows:

 ### BEGIN custom entry for YOURLS
 try_files $uri $uri/ /yourls-loader.php$is_args$args;
 # try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
 ###  END custom entry for YOURLS

Done!
