What our engineers handle on AlmaLinux
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Run dnf updates and kernel updates, and schedule the reboots with you
- 2Keep SELinux enforcing and fix denials properly instead of switching it off
- 3Configure firewalld (or CSF on cPanel servers) and SSH hardening
- 4Migrate CentOS 7 servers to AlmaLinux with the ELevate tooling, or rebuild on a clean server
Problems we fix
Problem
SELinux blocks a service after an update
What we do
We read the audit log, add the narrow policy or boolean the service needs and keep SELinux enforcing.
Problem
A cPanel server is on an OS version cPanel no longer supports
What we do
We plan the move to a supported AlmaLinux release, usually by building a new server and transferring accounts, so sites stay online.
Problem
dnf reports conflicts after enabling third-party repos
What we do
We find the conflicting repository, set priorities or remove it, and get the system back to a consistent package set.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
- Guard watches traffic for abnormal spikes and lets us block or unblock addresses. It is not an internet DDoS scrubber.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The RootManage monitoring agents are built for this system and install with one command from your dashboard.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about AlmaLinux
Is AlmaLinux a good choice for cPanel?
Yes. AlmaLinux is one of the operating systems cPanel supports, and it is what we most often set up for new cPanel servers. We can also manage servers that are already on CloudLinux or Rocky Linux.
Can you convert my CentOS server to AlmaLinux?
For CentOS 7 we use the ELevate in-place path when the server is simple enough, and build a fresh server when it is not. Either way we take a full backup first and test before cutting over.
What does it cost to have AlmaLinux managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and AlmaLinux is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
