Installing Xudbin on an Ubuntu server

Install Xudbin on a fresh Ubuntu, Debian or AlmaLinux server with one command, create the admin account and lock the panel down. About 10 minutes.

What you need

  • A server running Ubuntu, Debian or AlmaLinux/Rocky with at least 2 GB RAM
  • Ports 80 and 443 free (no other web server running)
  • Root access over SSH

You don't need a domain: Xudbin generates an address like xudbin.1-2-3-4.sslip.io from the server's IP and gets the HTTPS certificate itself.

1. Connect to the server

ssh root@203.0.113.10

2. Run the install command

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Furkan1116/XudbinPanel/main/install.sh | sudo bash

The script shows every step in the terminal. In order, it:

  1. Adds 2 GB of swap if RAM is under 3 GB.
  2. Installs Docker if it's missing.
  3. Downloads Xudbin to /opt/xudbin and installs the xudbin command.
  4. Opens only SSH, 80 and 443 in the firewall and installs fail2ban for SSH.
  5. Pulls the image, generates the panel address and gets the HTTPS certificate.
  6. Prints a setup link and a QR code.

To install with your own domain, its A record must already point to the server:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Furkan1116/XudbinPanel/main/install.sh | sudo XUDBIN_DOMAIN=panel.example.com ACME_EMAIL=you@example.com bash

3. Create the admin account

The setup link looks like ...?setup=<key>. The admin account can only be created with this key, so nobody can grab it before you once the panel is online.

  1. Open the link in a browser (or scan the QR code).
  2. Enter your name, email and a password of at least 10 characters.
  3. Press Create account.

Missed the link? Show it again on the server:

xudbin link

4. Harden the panel

  • Turn on two-factor authentication under Settings > Account. The admin account is equivalent to root on the server.
  • If you can, put panel access behind a VPN or Cloudflare Tunnel.
  • Keep the panel updated: a notice appears at the top when a new release is out; Settings > Panel > Update is all it takes.

5. Check the status

xudbin status   # server, app, database, user and banned IP counts
xudbin logs     # panel logs

The panel is ready. Next step: deploy your first app.
