AdminBolt Is Now a Supported Control Panel for CloudLinux and Imunify360

AdminBolt is now an officially supported control panel for CloudLinux and Imunify360.

Web hosts, cloud service providers, and agencies running AdminBolt can convert servers to CloudLinux for resource limits and isolation, which means more accounts per server and steadier performance. Imunify360, our server security platform, protects any AdminBolt server, with or without CloudLinux.

AdminBolt now joins the supported panels in the CloudLinux and Imunify360 documentation, and we provide technical support to the AdminBolt team, as we do for every supported panel.

CloudLinux on AdminBolt today

AdminBolt runs on AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 and converts either one to CloudLinux 9. It then manages the main CloudLinux tools:

• Resource limits. LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment), CloudLinux’s per-account resource container, caps CPU, memory, I/O, and processes, so a spike slows only the account that caused it. Limits come from hosting plans, and resellers get a combined ceiling across their accounts.
• CageFS. A virtualized filesystem that locks each hosting account into its own environment, switched on per account from AdminBolt.
• PHP Selector. Each account runs the PHP version it needs, with CloudLinux alt-php builds back to PHP 5.2 for sites that can’t move yet.

The integration uses CloudLinux’s own documented installer, with no compatibility layer in between. New CloudLinux features reach AdminBolt servers through that same installer, without a separate integration to wait for. Where a feature needs its own screen in the panel, AdminBolt builds that part.

Imunify360 on AdminBolt today

Imunify360 doesn’t require CloudLinux. It runs on AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9 server AdminBolt already uses, so it can go on any AdminBolt server from day one.

An admin installs it from AdminBolt’s Modules page with an activation key. AdminBolt then monitors the service and adds two views: one for the admin, and one where each account owner sees the security status of their account.

Imunify360 protects the whole server with multiple security layers:

• Web application firewall (WAF) at the web server, which stops malicious requests before they reach PHP.
• Malware scanning, with automatic or one-click cleanup that removes the malicious code and keeps the file.
• Brute-force protection for website, SSH, FTP, and mail logins.
• IP reputation, which blocks known-bad addresses using threat data from the Imunify network.
• KernelCare and HardenedPHP, included. KernelCare patches the Linux kernel with no reboot, and HardenedPHP keeps end-of-life PHP versions patched.

On a server with CloudLinux, the two products split the work. CageFS keeps a hacked account sealed off from its neighbors, and Imunify360 finds and cleans the malware inside it.

Getting started

Imunify360: Install it from AdminBolt’s Modules page with an Imunify360 activation key, then follow AdminBolt’s Imunify360 guide.

CloudLinux: AdminBolt’s conversion is one-way and needs a reboot, so take a provider snapshot first and pick a quiet hour. Then start it from the same Modules page with a CloudLinux activation key and follow AdminBolt’s CloudLinux guide.
