Installation

To avoid conflicts with third-party software and to achieve optimal performance the installation must be done on a clean server that does have any of your other working projects running.

Frequently asked questions

Q: I already have my own server with another operating system: CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD. Can I install the tracker on that server?

Binom v2 supports only Ubuntu 22.04 as an OS to achieve optimal performance and smooth integration with other apps and services. If you already have a server with a different OS we suggest contacting your hosting provider to reinstall the operating system.

Q: Can I use the tracker with a web-panel (ISP manager, cPanel) to install additional domains and upload files?

Binom v2 allows you to add your own domain and upload files directly from a dashboard, no additional software is needed.
