Getting Started after Deploying EasyPanel¶

After payment, you will receive an email notification on your registered address indicating that the server is ready. It will include: - Login and Password for SSH access. - Link for initial access to the EasyPanel control panel via web interface - Documentation

You can find or locate login data for subsequent secure domain access after initial setup in the Info >> Tags tab in the server management and API panel — Invapi.The login via IP is not secure, so it is essential to complete this step.

Administrator Account Registration and Domain Access Setup¶

After installing EasyPanel, the first step is to create an administrator account for managing the panel and organizing access through a secure domain.

1. Enter Admin Data

   • E-Mail: Provide a current email address for password recovery or notifications.
   • Password: Create a strong password for access protection.
   • How did you find EasyPanel?: Enter any response (examples provided).

2. Agree to Terms of Use: To complete the registration process, agree to the license agreement and privacy policy ("Terms and conditions").

3. Complete Registration: After entering data, click on Setup.

After successful registration, you can log into EasyPanel using the specified username and password to set up a secure connection through a domain name.

Access to the Panel via Domain Name¶

1. Log in to the panel using the server's IP address.

2. For secure connection access, go to the Settings > General tab—here, set a custom domain for the panel.

• Enter the domain found in the webpanel tag in the server management and API panel — Invapi.

• Disable Serve by IP address.

EasyPanel Control Panel Dashboard¶

Upon logging into EasyPanel, users have access to the main Dashboard menu:

1. Monitoring: The top part of the screen displays a summary of server status, resource usage, and overall performance.
2. Projects: This section is for managing websites. You can:
3. Add new sites with the Create Project button.

Adding a Project to EasyPanel¶

EasyPanel's main advantage is its simple and fast project deployment procedure.

1. Click Create Project

1. Add necessary services (MySQL, MariaDB, or others)

1. Choose required templates from an extensive list of available ones

Your project is ready to go!

Easy Panel Settings¶

EasyPanel allows management of a wide range of service settings for projects and services. We recommend paying attention to the following settings in the Settings tab:

1. Authentication - Here you can change the admin panel password and configure two-factor authentication (recommended).

1. General - Set a custom domain for the panel here (enter your server's IP address upon first login).

Opening SMTP Ports for Setting Up Corporate Email Service¶

For security, outgoing TCP ports (25, 24, 2525, 387, 465, and 587) and UDP port (5060) are blocked by default on all VPS servers to prevent spam. To unblock them:

1. Register the domain zone. The A-record of the domain must point to your server's IP address in HOSTKEY.

2. Submit a request to technical support, specifying that you need to open outgoing SMTP ports for email sending and the domain or subdomain from which it will be sent.

   Attention

   We reserve the right to ask additional questions about the domain name and its usage options.

3. After analyzing the domain name, we will decide on opening ports for SMTP operation and inform you.
