cpSetup

Author: Myles McNamara
Version: 1.5.0
Last Update: May 22, 2019

cpsetup is a custom bash/shell script to setup and harden/configure cPanel CentOS/RHEL server with a wide range of applications, plugins, and modules. This script will also install cPanel if it's not already installed.

Each installation and configuration/hardening is organized into functions. By default running the script without any arguments will prompt for each install/configuration as well as prompt for any required configs (email, api key, etc).

You can also run any of the available functions individually ... to see a list of functions available, execute this command:

./cpsetup --functions

Usage

wget https://github.com/tripflex/cpsetup/raw/master/cpsetup
chmod +x cpsetup
./cpsetup

Depreciated Functions/Installs (*)

Name	Reason
Account DNS Check	Reported to no longer work on CentOS 7, or WHM > 11.52
PHP.INI Manager	WHM now has built in handling, and unsure of status of plugin
Clean Backups	No longer works or updated?

I decided to remove these from the auto install process because I either do not know the status of them (compatibility wise) with WHM, they are not compatible with latest release, or because the developers either do not provide ANY changelog, or even if they do, they don't even date the versions, which IMO is sloppy dev work, and as such, they do not belong in the auto install process.

Use at your own risk, if you don't know what you're doing you should probably not be using this script.
