DIrectAdmin tutorial?

edited July 2021 in Tutorials

I got a VPS with DirectAdmin. I've been using Cpanel for many years and honestly, I find DA a little difficult. I searched for DirectAdmin Tutorial here and got no results. So far I haven't had much luck on Youtube. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial that covers the setup process and security? Also, how to install softaculous would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

    For DA: https://site-helper.com/evo/sitehelper.php

    For security follow the same advices that are for any generic linux system, such as changing ssh port, closing out things you don’t need, disable password based ssh access etc. Look into CSF for firewall (config server firewall).
    Anything you don’t find there, simply google “Directadmin how to do xyz” :)

    Thank you, I'll read through it but I prefer videos as it's easier for me If I have a visual aid.

  • Switch to Icon Grid theme it won be that difficult

    I started my DirectAdmin journey with a nice guide written by @eva2000 and hostdoc(now defunct) vps that offered free DA. I think Icon grid layout will be a nice helping hand for you to a smooth sail.
