Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) is available at deployment. Community support until 2029, Pro/ESM until 2034.
LTS (Long Term Support) releases ship every 2 years (22.04, 24.04) with 5 years of free security support. Interim releases (23.04, 23.10) ship every 6 months but are only supported for 9 months. For production, always pick an LTS.
Official Docker method: curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh. Then add your user to the group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER. Docker Compose v2 ships as a plugin (docker compose, no dash). Works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 LTS.
Yes. You can supply a cloud-init / user-data script when creating the VPS (from the panel or via API). Great to automate user creation, SSH key injection, package install, firewall setup or initial app deployment.
UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) ships pre-installed. Typical commands: ufw allow ssh, ufw allow 80,443/tcp, ufw enable. For advanced needs, nftables or iptables are available. Anti-DDoS L3/L4 protection is already active at the datacenter level, upstream.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS hits standard EOL in April 2025 (ESM until 2030). Path: sudo do-release-upgrade to go 20.04 → 22.04 → 24.04 (two successive steps). Backup recommended before each jump. Our support can run the migration as a service if you prefer not to do it yourself.
