How to install CentOS Web Panel (CWP) on Cent0S 8
CWP (CentOS Web Panel) is an easy-to-use, free control panel that allows you to manage both dedicated and virtual servers conveniently without having to access SSH every time. The control panel provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows administrators to manage web servers, users, plugins, as well as many settings without having to use the command line directly after it has been installed and configured. Let’s begin with the installation process.
Before installing the CWP, here are a few things you should know.
CWP cannot be removed once it has been installed. To remove CWP from your server, you need to reinstall the server. CWP should only be installed on a freshly installed OS that has not been modified yet.
