I USE ARCH BTW!

Hardcoder track: run panel + connector-go on Arch Linux with systemd and Docker engine.

1. Install base packages

sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm git curl base-devel nodejs npm go docker docker-compose

2. Enable Docker service

sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

docker --version
docker run --rm hello-world

3. Clone project

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mihai209/cpanel-rocky.git
cd cpanel-rocky

4. Run panel

cd ~/cpanel-rocky/panel
npm install
npm run upgrade-db
npm run create-user
npm run dev

5. Run connector-go

cd ~/cpanel-rocky/connector-go
go mod tidy
go build -o connector-go ./
CONNECTOR_CONFIG=./config.json VOLUMES_PATH=/var/lib/cpanel/volumes ./connector-go

6. Optional: systemd services (native Arch style)

/etc/systemd/system/cpanel-panel.service

[Unit]

After=network.target docker.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
WorkingDirectory=/home/%i/cpanel-rocky/panel
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node server.js

/etc/systemd/system/cpanel-connector.service

[Unit]
Description=CPanel Rocky Connector-Go
After=network.target docker.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
WorkingDirectory=/home/%i/cpanel-rocky/connector-go
ExecStart=/home/%i/cpanel-rocky/connector-go/connector-go

Environment=VOLUMES_PATH=/var/lib/cpanel/volumes
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

7. Enable services

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now cpanel-panel@$USER
sudo systemctl enable --now cpanel-connector@$USER
