Try CloudLinux 8.1 release candidate and tell us what you think!

At the beginning of the year 2020, we released to beta CloudLinux 8 with a 4.18 kernel.

And we spent this time to test CloudLinux 8 workability and performance on DirectAdmin. Well, CloudLinux 8 is quite stable and performs great!

So now, we encourage you to install a new CloudLinux 8.1 release candidate and try it and share with us your experience!

How to update

To update from CloudLinux 8 to the new CloudLinux 8.1, run the following commands:

$ dnf clean all

$ dnf upgrade

How to install

The best way to install CloudLinux 8 is to convert a CentOS 8 server.

Get either by getting trial subscription or by purchasing subscription.
Download the conversion script: cldeploy.
If you have an activation key, run the following commands:

$ wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy $ sh cldeploy -k
If you have an IP-based license, run the following commands:

$ sh cldeploy -i
Reboot by running the following command:
$ reboot

Once you reboot, you are running CloudLinux kernel with LVE enabled.

Alternatively, you can download and install CloudLinux 8 RC from this ISO image. Mount and boot the image, then follow the following steps.

Configure a network connection as shown below.
Configure installation sources: select the On the network installation source and enter the following repository URL: https://www.repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/8/BaseOS/x86_64/. Also, add the additional AppStream repository URL: https://www.repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/8/AppStream/x86_64/.
