Windows Users

macOS Users

macOS includes a built-in Terminal app — no extra software needed. Open Terminal and run:

ssh root@your-server-ip

On first connection you'll be prompted to confirm the host fingerprint. Type yes and press Enter, then enter the root password.

Linux Users

Linux includes the OpenSSH client by default. Simply run ssh root@your-server-ip in your terminal.

Prerequisites

• A VPS or dedicated server (minimum 1 CPU core / 1 GB RAM)
• Operating system: Debian 13 (Trixie)
• Root user or a user with sudo privileges

Step 1: SSH into Your Server

Use an SSH client to connect to your server (see SSH Client Recommendations):

• Windows: Use xShell or PuTTY
• macOS: Open Terminal and run ssh root@your-server-ip
• Linux: Use ssh root@your-server-ip in terminal

Step 2: Run the Install Command

Once connected via SSH, paste the one-liner:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget ca-certificates && wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/naibabiji/wp-panel/main/install.sh | bash

The script automatically: adds Debian repos → installs Nginx / PHP / MariaDB / Redis → downloads WP Panel → configures systemd service → starts the panel.

Step 3: Log Into the Panel

After installation, the terminal prints the panel URL, admin username, and password. Be sure to save these credentials.

If you forget the password, run wp password in SSH to reset it instantly.

When Is a Reinstall Needed?

In most cases, your VPS provider's stock Debian 13 image will run WP Panel without issues. However, if you encounter the following problems, they may be caused by a vendor-modified image, and a clean reinstall is recommended: install script errors, PHP/Nginx service startup failures, panel feature anomalies, or system component version conflicts.

Method 1: bin456789/reinstall Script (Recommended)

Works with most VPS providers worldwide. Automatically detects network and selects the best mirror:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bin456789/reinstall/main/reinstall.sh || wget -O ${_##*/} $_

Copy and paste this command into SSH, press Enter. Once it completes, run the following to start Debian 13 installation:

bash reinstall.sh 13

• Follow the prompts to set the username and password for the new system
• Run reboot to restart the server — it will boot into the reinstall process automatically
• The reinstall takes about 5-15 minutes; SSH disconnection during this time is normal
• After the reinstall, SSH port defaults to 22

Method 2: VPS Provider Control Panel

Most VPS providers offer OS reinstall from their control panel. Select Debian 13 (Trixie) latest version, and choose "Minimal install" if available. Note: some providers also use modified Debian templates, so Method 1 is preferred.

Method 3: Official ISO Manual Install

For dedicated servers or VPS that support custom ISOs. Download the Debian 13 netinst image from the Debian website and select minimal system (SSH Server only) during installation.

Overview

Migrating requires a clean system. We recommend: install WP Panel on a new server → migrate sites one by one. If you only have one server, back up all data first, then reinstall the OS and install WP Panel.

Preparation

• Back up website files and databases, then download them locally
