HestiaCP and FOSSBilling

Configuring HestiaCP

Before setting up the HestiaCP server manager, you need to:

1. Whitelist your FOSSBilling server's IP address in HestiaCP
2. Create an access key

Here's how:

• How to whitelist your IP address
• How to create an API access key

Tip

When creating the access key in HestiaCP, you only need to assign "billing" permissions.

Adding a HestiaCP server to FOSSBilling

1. Log in to your FOSSBilling admin panel
2. Go to System → Hosting plans and servers
3. Switch to the New server tab
4. Fill in the name, hostname, IP address, and nameservers for your server
5. Select HestiaCP from the Server manager dropdown
6. Enter the access key ID and secret key from HestiaCP
7. Click Add server to save

Hosting plans with HestiaCP and FOSSBilling

Because of current API limitations, FOSSBilling cannot create hosting packages in HestiaCP automatically. Do this instead:

1. Create your hosting plans (packages) directly in HestiaCP first, setting all limits and capabilities there
2. Create matching plans in FOSSBilling with the exact same name

The package name must match exactly between both systems, or FOSSBilling won't be able to create accounts with that package.
