VPS Control Panel Auto Installer (pist.sh)

A comprehensive, all-in-one bash script to automatically install various popular VPS control panels. The script automatically detects your server's operating system, CPU cores, and RAM, and dynamically displays only the control panels that are fully compatible with your current server specifications.

Repository: https://github.com/mnasikin/pist.sh

Features

• Auto-Detection: Automatically identifies OS distribution, version, and server constraints (RAM, CPU, Disk Space) to prevent installation failures.
• Multiple Panels: Supports automatic installation for 25 different control panels.
• Installation Modes:
  • Quick Mode: Runs installations non-interactively using default settings. Good for fast and automated deployments.
  • Normal Mode: Runs the standard interactive installer, allowing for custom configuration during the process.
• System Benchmark: Includes an option to safely run a complete system benchmark using YABS (Yet Another Bench Script).
• Safe Execution: Ensures the script is run with root privileges.

Disclaimer

• Software such as cPanel and Plesk requires a commercial license. The script does not bypass licensing checks and you will need to provide or purchase a license to use them.
• Always use this script on a clean, newly deployed VPS. Running control panel installers on a server with existing websites or databases may result in data loss or configuration conflicts.
