5. Detailed Installation Tutorial

Step 1: Download and Install goPanel 2

First, download the goPanel 2 for Mac 2.0.3 activated version from our page. After downloading, double-click the .dmg file and drag the goPanel 2 icon to the Applications folder. Wait for the copy to complete, and you can find the app in Launchpad.

Step 2: First Launch and Authorization

When opening goPanel 2 for the first time, the system will prompt “from an unidentified developer.” Please go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and click “Open Anyway.” Enter your Mac administrator password to complete authorization. This step is a macOS security mechanism, so please proceed with confidence.

Step 3: Add a Linux Server

After launching goPanel 2, click the “Add Server” button on the main interface. In the dialog box that appears, enter the server’s IP address, SSH port (default 22), username (usually root), and password. Key authentication is recommended for higher security. Click “Connect” to complete the addition.

Step 4: Configure the Web Service Environment

After a successful connection, go to the “Services” tab. You can choose to install Apache or Nginx. For beginners, the Nginx + Apache combination mode is recommended, where Nginx handles static resources and Apache handles dynamic requests. Click the “Install” button and wait for the installation to complete.

Step 5: Install PHP and Databases

In the “PHP” tab, check the required PHP version (such as 7.2 or 7.4) and click Install. Then go to the “Databases” tab and select MySQL or MariaDB for installation. During installation, goPanel 2 will automatically set an initial password; please save it properly.

Step 6: Create a Website and Domain

Go to the “Websites” tab and click “Add Website.” Enter the domain name (e.g., example.com), select the PHP version, and set the document root directory. After clicking Save, your website is online. If you need to bind multiple domains, simply repeat this operation.

Step 7: Configure Backup and Security

Finally, go to the “Backup” tab and set up an automatic backup strategy. It is recommended to back up once a week and retain backups for the last 30 days. In the “Security” tab, enable Fail2Ban and the firewall to protect the server from attacks.

6. FAQ

Q1: goPanel 2 cannot connect to my Linux server. What should I do?

Please check whether the server has SSH service enabled (default port 22). Ensure that the firewall is not blocking that port. Also, confirm that the server IP address and login credentials are correct. If using key authentication, add the public key to the server’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

Q2: Installation of Nginx or Apache fails. What is the reason?

This is usually because the system is missing dependency packages. goPanel 2 automatically handles most dependencies, but occasionally network issues may occur. It is recommended to check whether the server can access the internet or try changing the software source. If the problem persists, please leave a comment to contact us for help.

Q3: How many servers can goPanel 2 manage simultaneously?

There is no theoretical limit. We have tested managing 10 servers simultaneously, and goPanel 2 still runs smoothly. However, note that too many servers may consume Mac computer resources. It is recommended to plan reasonably according to actual needs.

Q4: How to reset the MySQL root password?

Go to the “Databases” tab in goPanel 2 and find the corresponding database instance. Click the “Reset Password” button, enter a new password, and save. The system will automatically update the configuration file. If you forget the old password, you can also log in to the server via SSH and reset it manually.

Q5: Does goPanel 2 support SSL certificate installation?

Yes. In the “Websites” tab, select the website for which you want to configure SSL and click the “SSL” button. You can choose to automatically apply for a free Let’s Encrypt certificate or upload an existing certificate file. goPanel 2 will automatically configure HTTPS redirection.

Q6: Where are backup files stored?

Local backups are stored by default in the ~/Library/Application Support/goPanel/backups/ directory on your Mac. Remote backups can be configured to Amazon S3 or an FTP server. It is recommended to regularly download backup files to local storage to prevent data loss.

Q7: How to uninstall goPanel 2?

Simply drag goPanel 2 from the Applications folder to the Trash. However, please note that this will not delete any data on the connected servers. If you need to thoroughly clean up the configuration on your Mac, also delete the ~/Library/Application Support/goPanel/ folder.

Q8: How does goPanel 2 compare to cPanel?

goPanel 2 is more lightweight and uses fewer resources. It is designed specifically for Mac users, and the interface is more in line with macOS usage habits. cPanel has more comprehensive features but is more expensive and mainly used in Windows/Linux environments. For individual developers or small teams, goPanel 2 is a more cost-effective choice.

Q9: Will previous configurations be lost after updating goPanel 2?

No. goPanel 2’s configuration information is stored in a separate folder, and updating the app will not affect this data. However, we recommend manually backing up the server list before updating, just in case. After updating, the first launch may require re-authorization.

Q10: Can I use custom scripts in goPanel 2?

Yes. goPanel 2 supports adding custom scripts through the “Scripts” tab. You need to upload the script to the server and then specify the path in goPanel 2. This provides great flexibility for advanced users to implement any automation tasks.
