Customize FastPanel

After you have successfully installed FastPanel, you need to take into account the following fact: FastPanel uses port 8888 on your server. This means that you need to grant access to the port through your server’s firewall.

ufw allow 8888

Once you have granted the permission – check it using the following command:

ufw status

Then go to the following URL

http://Your_IP_Address:8888

This is necessary in order for you to be able to get a free license key for your new server. You just need to enter your email.
