Ubuntu 18.04 ELS

End of life from May 2023. TuxCare ELS continues to deliver security updates.

Installation

Prerequisites

  • A valid TuxCare Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) license key
  • Root access to the server
  • TCP port 443 open to cln.cloudlinux.com and repo.cloudlinux.com
  • Architecture: x86_64. For other architectures, please contact our [email protected].
  1. Download the install script

    wget https://repo.els.tuxcare.com/ubuntu18_04-els/install-ubuntu18.04-els-repo.sh
    
  2. Run with your license key (see Prerequisites above)

    The script registers the server in the CLN with the key, adds a PGP key to the server.

    apt-cache show els-os-release
    

    It should return information about the available package. If the package information is displayed, the installation was successful. After that, you can install updates from the repository using a standard apt upgrade command.
