Modules

Always installed: nginx + PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis, the panel and its agent, and the login service.

DNS server dns Required by Mail PowerDNS, authoritative + recursor, so the server hosts DNS zones. Mail server mail Stalwart + Bulwark webmail. Needs the DNS server, so it turns DNS on too. Security security CrowdSec, UFW firewall, malware scanning (Linux Malware Detect + YARA-X), AppArmor, AIDE. Disk quota quota Per-user filesystem quota. Python apps python_apps Per-user Python app runtime. REST API api API keys for remote management.

Docker, Docker apps and PostgreSQL aren't set up by the installer. Turn them on from the panel after install: Docker Apps → Maintenance → Docker Engine, and Server Settings → Databases.

Leave a field blank and the installer asks for it on the terminal.

Enter a valid email address.

Nameserver 1
Use a full name like ns1.example.com.

Nameserver 2

PHP versions
PHP versions

PHP 8.4 is always installed and stays the default for the command line and phpMyAdmin. Add more to run side by side; you can also add them later in the panel.

PHP 8.1 PHP 8.2 PHP 8.3 PHP 8.5 PHP 8.4

Advanced

Free hostname Get a free *.jabalihosted.com hostname instead of your own. The installer asks for your email on the terminal and sends a code.
Timezone
Leave blank to keep the server's current timezone.

Use a name like UTC or Europe/London.

DNS forwarder
Only if outbound port 53/udp is blocked: an IPv4 resolver the server can reach over TCP.

Enter an IPv4 address.

Daily local backups for every user Stored on the server's own disk. Off by default. Verbose output Show every command the installer runs. Useful when reporting a problem. Dry run Print which modules would be installed or skipped, and change nothing.
3 Run this command
bash

curl -fsSL https://get.jabali-panel.com | sudo JABALI_MODULES=dns,security,quota bash
Fix the highlighted fields to copy the command.

The install takes 8–15 minutes. At the end it prints a one-time link to log in as the admin.

Blank fields are asked on the terminal. With no terminal (cloud-init, CI) they take defaults: the system hostname, admin@<hostname> and ns1/ns2.<hostname>.

Prefer to choose on the server? curl -fsSL https://get.jabali-panel.com | sudo bash opens an interactive picker.
