Installation Flow

Five Sequential Steps

Validate

OS, PHP, extensions, memory, disk, and storage permissions are checked before changes begin

Provision

Web server, PHP-FPM, database server, and mail components are installed and configured

Schema

The database is created and the full schema with migrations is imported

Ownership

Your first login becomes the owner account with full administrative rights

Locking

storage/install.lock plus a database setting refuse any future accidental reinstall

Check Requirements

Minimal Server Requirements

Operating system

A fresh, 64-bit Linux-based server distribution, with a clean server strongly recommended

Resources

2 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended for busy servers, and 20 GB of free disk space

Runtime

PHP 8.1+ with pdo_mysql, curl, openssl, and json, installed for you if missing

Hostname

A DNS hostname pointed at the server, used for panel access and SSL issuance

Network

Outbound HTTPS access for package and release downloads during installation

Access

Root or sudo access on the server, with no credentials requested over the web

Verifies Installation

Every Requirement Checked First

Every requirement is verified first, failed checks stop cleanly, and successful installs report each stage as it completes

Idempotent checks: re-running the verification stage is always safe
Installation lock: completed installs refuse re-runs to protect live data
Clear logging: every stage prints what it did and where
