How to Upgrade the CyberPanel on Linux

CyberPanel is growing and constantly releasing new upgraded versions to integrate more useful features. However, for users using the old version, if they want to use the new features, they need to upgrade to the latest version of CyberPanel.

In this article, we will upgrade CyberPanel to the latest version (at the time you upgrade) simply with just one command line.

Check the current version of CyberPanel

First of all, you can check the latest version of Cyber Panel at the homepage. You can see the current version in use by going to the Version Management link.

This example currently uses CyberPanel version 2.1 and you can upgrade to the latest version 2.3 at this time.

Upgrade the CyberPanel

1. Log in to your server via SSH as root.

Note Note: If you're login into your server using a sudo user, you must run sudo su - command to become the root user.

sudo su -

[bonben@vps01 ~]$ sudo su -
[root@vps01 ~]# whoami
root
[root@vps01 ~]#

2. After SSH into the VPS, copy and paste the commands below into the VPS.

sudo su - -c "sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh)"

When running this command, the system will automatically upgrade to the latest version, the upgrade process will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on each VPS. And when the upgrade is complete, you will receive a CyberPanel Upgraded message as shown.

Now go to the CyberPanel admin page => click Version Management to see the new version.

Note Note: So the upgrade process has been successful, the rest is for you to re-check the website and experience the newly updated features in the new version.
