Installing cPGuard X

This guide explains how to install cPGuard X on a supported Linux server.
Ensure that your server meets the required system requirements before starting the installation.

note

Installation must be performed on a clean Ubuntu server with root access and a valid license key.

Step 1 : Update the Server​

Before starting the installation, update your system packages.

apt update && apt upgrade -y

Make sure you are logged in as the root user before running the installation commands.

Step 2 : Run the Installer​

Download and execute the cPGuard X installer according to your database preference.

Replace LICENCE-KEY with your valid license key.

Run in Terminal:

cd /usr/local/src && rm -f cpguardx.sh && curl -o cpguardx.sh -L https://downloads.opsshield.com/cpguard/cpguardx.sh && bash cpguardx.sh LICENCE-KEY

During installation, the process will display live logs in the terminal so you can monitor the installation progress.

Alternatively, you can:

  1. Log in to the cPGuard App Portal
  2. Navigate to the Server List
  3. Open the installed server to access the panel.

Now you can begin configuring websites, security features, and server settings through the cPGuard X control panel.

Agent Connectivity Requirement​

The cPGuard App Portal must communicate with the cPGuard Agent running on your server. The agent listens on the port 9098

If your server uses a firewall, ensure that the following IP addresses are whitelisted.

137.184.200.210
159.89.87.35
167.99.149.179

These IP addresses must be allowed to connect to port 9098 to maintain communication between the portal and the server agent.

note

If you are using cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, or Linode, make sure these IPs are also allowed in the cloud firewall rules.
