💅 Polish​

• All new user accounts now have fixed ports for MySQL and SSH services, so the ports remain consistent even after a restore or server reboot.
• Install script now accepts --username= and --password= flags to create admin account.
• Nginx and Apache vhosts files now restrict access to sensitive resources by default, these include: .git, compose.json, composer.lock, auth.json, config.php, wp-config.php, vendor. HiTechCloud users can edit and remove the rules for any domain, from the HiTechCloud > Domains > Edit Vhosts File page.
• PM2 Application installer now supports optional flags to be passed to the startup file.
• Websites List
• hitechcloudcli report command now provides more detailed info for HiTechAdmin service: pip installed packages, python version, ufw/csf rules and full error log.
• hitechcloudcli user-sudo command now allows user to use the su - command to switch to root user.
• /etc/profile.d/welcome.sh now has 5sec timeout.
• hitechcloudcli server-on_startup now updates hitechcloud version number from the docker container on server reboot, and /etc/profile.d/welcome.sh on each root user ssh login.

ConfigServer Firewall​

ConfigServer Firewall is now the default firewall manager for HiTechCloud. UFW can still be selected with the --ufw flag on installation.

Upload URL​

In HiTechCloud > File Manager, click on "Upload." In the modal, select "Download from URL," then add the link and click the "Download" button.

This feature accepts any link type. If the link points to an archive *(.zip, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar, .gz), it will automatically be extracted; if it's a regular file, it will simply be downloaded.

AutoInstaller​

Administrators can choose which CMS/tools to allow for the AutoInstaller interface from the HiTechAdmin > General Settings page.

We also receive frequent questions from new users on how to upload a website, as they often get confused by the New Website modal. To address this, we added an option to choose between using the Autoinstaller or manually adding files and databases:

Site Manager​

Mautic Manager, WordPress Manager, and PM2 (NodeJS & Python) are now combined in a single interface named Site Manager.

This interface will list all available websites from the database.

Websites List​

List of all websites on HiTechCloud > Site Manager > selected website.
