SolusVM is a popular VPS hosting control panel, and SolusVM Slave is installed on a dedicated server for creating VPSs on that server.
What are the requirements?
- Fresh AlmaLinux 8, CentOS Stream 8, or CentOS 7 installed on your VPS/server.
How to install a SolusVM slave?
Step 1:
Log in to SSH as a root account.
For AlmaLinux 8 or CentOS Stream 8, run the following command:
curl -o installer https://files.soluslabs.com/solusvmphp7/install/installer && chmod +x installer && ./installer
For CentOS 7, execute the following command instead:
curl -o install.sh https://files.solusvm.com/install.sh && sh install.sh
Step 2:
For CentOS 7, it will show you the option to choose virtualisation. Most people prefer KVM or Xen. Select your preferred virtualisation by typing 2 or 3 and then press Enter.
For KVM, we type 2 and then press Enter.
Note: Select the KVM virtualisation node option on CentOS Stream 8 or AlmaLinux 8.
Installation can take from 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3:
Once it completes, it will show you the Slave keys and further instructions for your virtualisation type.
You can now use these keys to add a node to your SolusVM Master panel. You will need to have a SolusVM slave licence for each node.
