Migration guide

Migrating from CyberPanel

CyberPanel is commonly tied to OpenLiteSpeed or LiteSpeed workflows. Migration to Outlaw Panel should verify web-server behavior, cache assumptions, WordPress settings, mail, DNS, databases, and TLS.

Discuss migration
1. Identify stack assumptions

Document OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed behavior, cache plugins, rewrite rules, PHP versions, WordPress Manager usage, DNS, mail, databases, and SSL configuration.

2. Build Nginx/PHP-FPM targets

Create equivalent Outlaw Panel websites and validate Nginx/PHP-FPM or Node.js behavior before traffic moves.

3. Validate application behavior

Test login pages, cache behavior, forms, uploads, scheduled jobs, database connections, email delivery, and TLS certificate trust.

4. Cut over with monitoring

Move DNS gradually, monitor logs and service health, and keep rollback access until the workload is stable.

Migration checklist

  • OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed dependencies
  • WordPress cache assumptions
  • Website files
  • Databases
  • Mailboxes
  • DNS zones
  • TLS certificates
  • Application smoke tests

Important cautions

  • LiteSpeed-specific behavior may require application tuning after migration.
  • Outlaw Panel Version 1 does not claim one-click app installer parity.
  • External mail and DNS must be validated before cutover.

Plan before cutover

Validate web, mail, DNS, TLS, backup, and rollback evidence before moving production traffic.
