MySQL / Re: Allow Remote Access to MariaDB Database
« Last post by Andrew C on March 30, 2026, 02:49:01 PM »Hello Starburst,
Yes it is common place to remote access servers and web hosts by professionals who know what they are doing. And no matter how many times you try to dismiss that fact I will correct you.
You need to turnoff the gas light and stop gas lighting people !
Thanks.

That was a false statement, as it is NOT "common place". If it was, it would be the default setting.
And ONLY stated that the DEFAULT security setting on CWP, CyberPanel, HestiaCP, cPanel, and ALL other panels on installation, is that it is set to localhost only automatically.

Are you providing a CWP change log on the forum, that would be a huge benefit to the community ?
If you read my earlier post I did say allow access to specific IP addresses on the local network and not the internet.
If users wish to use CWP with its default security they can. However if users want to allow remote access to their CWP servers then they can also do that if they choose. You have no right to say which solution is right or wrong as you don't know the details of how its been implemented.
Thanks.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: EL9 recent update casusing boot issue
« Last post by Starburst on March 29, 2026, 07:56:37 AM »Thanks for all suggestion. But i found the solution.
after debugging i found that it is cased by memory. as its on VM. i update the start memory size to 2GB and the problem was resolved.
Thanks again. hope it might help someone.
Just curious how much RAM it had?
I've run AlmaLinux 8 on a server with 512MB before.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: EL9 recent update casusing boot issue
« Last post by overseer on March 28, 2026, 11:26:08 PM »I would say 4GB is a more realistic minimum for a functioning server. More is better, but that is a workable minimum for a lower traffic server.

We are back to basic cyber security 101.
And back to you stating it's "common place", which it is not.
If it was all the control panels would have it open, which again they do not due to security.
Yes, more advanced users who want to run clusters or load balancing would.
And would be running proxies directing traffic to workers, who in turn would connect to the database server via a private network in the background.
You also really would not be running a control panel at that point, and just a raw OS.
If you aren't running dnf update to keep your servers updated and secure, that is one job of a sys admin and/or a cyber security person.
That is not a waste of time.
Or you can even automate it, which could be a system script that could be run locally or via ansible.
You can't argue your way is correct and "common place", when all the control panels defaults say and do the opposite...
There is no right or wrong way.
Just the default and custom application of what you are doing with the server(s).

Same old story - CWP maybe rolling out silent updates but the change logs are not being published at regular intervals to document any changes made. If you are spending the time analysing the changes made by CWP to your servers by updates then please share and publish the details in the forum. Go on, create a forum thread and publish each time CWP rolls out a new update and document the details, I would be very happy to see that information in real time from you or CWP I don't mind.
I have come from the commercial world were lots of devops and system admins and database administrator and software developers all sit together in a very big building and support remote web hosts and remote databases and remote servers in various different ways. You or your customers may not remote access your servers in that way but the commercial world does it everyday so it is common place. And to suggest otherwise is disingenuous.
I think CWP is great and it does everything I need at the moment. I just wish it had proper documentation and it was updated or patched every month. No one wants to pay a few dollars for CWP and then spend twenty hours a month keeping it updated and running and checking what has changes. You see my point.
I think you an overseer live in your own bubble and you don't consider others wanting to do more advanced things with CWP. If you choose not to remote admin into your CWP servers thats fine with me. You can tell that to your customers if you choose but don't suggest your way is the only or right way for everyone which is just not true.
Thanks.
