Recommended CloudLinux & control panel conversion order

Issue

What is a recommended CloudLinux & control panel conversion order?

Environment

• cPanel
• DirectAdmin
• Plesk
• InterWorx
• cldeploy
  

Resolution

The recommended procedure for CloudLinux conversion is to install a control panel first.
The CloudLinux cldeploy conversion script automatically detects and supports the following control panels:

• cPanel with EasyApache 4
• Plesk
• DirectAdmin
• InterWorx ^*

To sum up:

1. Install CentOS/AlmaLinux

2. Install a control panel

3. Run the CloudLinux conversion script

* For InterWorx, the cldeploy script installs the mod_hostinglimits, lve-utils, and lve-stats packages. You can find more about CloudLinux Manager installation here.
