Install Dashmox on Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04

From 13 October 2026, one command on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04 server installs Dashmox. It asks you nothing: it sets the server up, then hands you a single-use token to create your account. A setup wizard asks what the server is for the first time you sign in.

What you need

  • A fresh Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS or 26.04 LTS machine with root access
  • 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of free disk, or more
  • A hostname, such as cp.example.com, pointing at the server
  • SSH access kept open while it installs

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS are what Dashmox installs on today. Support for more Linux distributions is planned.

Opening 13 October 2026

Dashmox's installer and every plan open to everyone on launch day. Everything on this page is what to have ready for it.

Install

One command, from 13 October 2026.

The installer opens on launch day.

On 13 October 2026 this page gives the one command that installs Dashmox. Until then, a server can be made ready with everything above.

Run as root on the new server, it asks Dashmox's release service for the newest release, downloads it, carrying on where it stopped if the connection drops, checks it against the published checksum, and runs the installer inside it. Nothing is asked along the way, so the same command works in a provisioning script, in a CI job or over SSH with nobody watching. A scripted install can still say what it wants as options.

After it finishes

Your first website with SSL.

  1. Create your account

    Open the address the installer prints, enter the single-use setup token it showed you, and create the owner account. There is no default password.

  2. Answer the setup wizard

    The first time you sign in it asks what this server is for: the name to answer on, where certificate notices should go, the timezone, the firewall, and whether to add email hosting, authoritative DNS, Node.js or container websites. Applying it restarts the panel, which the page says before it starts, and your websites keep being served throughout.

  3. Add a customer

    Customers own websites. Give one a name and a contact email.

  4. Create a website

    Choose its domain, its customer and how it runs, then follow it being set up.

  5. Point the domain

    Set the domain's A and AAAA records to your server, then request a free certificate from the website's SSL tab.

  6. Upload and go

    Upload your files in the file manager or over SFTP, or install WordPress in a click, and visit the website.

Dashmox's setup wizard asking what a freshly installed server should be called and where certificate notices go

The setup wizard, at the first sign-in. Nothing on it has to be answered then, and nothing is applied until you have seen the summary of what will change.

Installing questions

What do I need to run Dashmox?

A fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or 26.04 LTS server with root access, at least 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of free disk, and a hostname pointing at it. Any provider works. The installer checks the memory and the disk and refuses rather than half installing. Ubuntu is what Dashmox installs on today; more Linux distributions are planned. Hosting email needs the server to have a name, not only an IP address.

Is there a default password?

No. The installer shows a single-use setup token once. You open the panel, enter the token and create the owner account yourself.

Are updates and security fixes only for paid plans?

No. Every installation is offered every release, including security fixes, whatever plan it is on. An update installs only when an administrator presses the button, and it is refused unless it carries Dashmox's signature.
