Install a one-click app

Deploy common software on your Victus VPS in minutes using the one-click app installer in the control panel.

Victus VPS offers one-click app installs so you can go from a bare Ubuntu machine to a running application without doing every step by hand. It is the quickest way to stand up common stacks — web servers, control panels, developer tools and more.

Best on a fresh VPS

One-click installers assume a clean OS. Run them on a newly built or freshly reinstalled VPS to avoid conflicts with software you already configured.

Install from the panel

  1. 1Open your VPS at control.victuscloud.com and go to the Apps / one-click view.
  2. 2Browse the catalogue and pick the app you want to install.
  3. 3Provide any requested settings (domain, admin email, etc.) and start the install.
  4. 4Wait for it to finish — the panel reports progress and the final access details.

Prefer a whole managed app instead?

If you want Victus to fully manage the app (Code-Server, WordPress, databases and similar) rather than run it on your own VPS, look at App Hosting — it provisions the app as a managed service. Use VPS one-click when you want root control of the underlying machine.

After the install

  • Open the firewall for the app's ports with ufw (e.g. 80/443 for a web app) — see the "Open firewall ports" article.
  • Point a DNS record at your VPS IP if the app is served on a domain.
  • Change any default admin passwords the installer set.
  • Take a snapshot once it is configured the way you want.
bash
# Typical post-install: open web ports
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp

# Check the app service is running
systemctl status <service-name>
