Installing KeyHelp on a Netcup VM

Introduction

This tutorial explains how to install KeyHelp on a netcup VPS 1000 G9.

Requirements

You need an empty VPS with root access and Debian or Ubuntu OS installed. I have had installations with only 1GB RAM that worked fine, but I recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM and two cores, just like a VPS 500 G8. You also need a domain that points to your VPS and that you will use for the Control Panel. In this tutorial, example.com is used as an example domain.

Step 1 - Dependencies

First, update your package manager.

apt update

Please install the wget and ca-certificates packages so that no error occurs during the installation.

apt install wget ca-certificates -y

Step 2 - Install KeyHelp

You can install KeyHelp by simply pasting this line:

wget https://install.keyhelp.de/get_keyhelp.php -O install_keyhelp.sh ; bash install_keyhelp.sh ;

and pressing Enter.

The installer will be downloaded and executes itself automatically.

At this point, PHP, KeyHelp and IonCube will be installed.

Step 2.1 - Language

If you want to continue in another language, enter L and press Enter.

Continue by entering N and pressing Enter.

Step 2.2 - Host settings

When you are done, type S and press Enter to start the installation.

Step 3 - Your first login

Step 4 - Going further

You can now create users, domains, mailboxes and databases with KeyHelp. Maybe someone will continue this tutorial. In the meantime, you can look at the documentation https://doc.keyhelp.de/switch/?lang=en and continue.

Conclusion

You now have a fully intact KeyHelp installation on your VPS to host websites and even resell your system power to others.
