There is only about 40G space available on /home. This is an old 120G SSD. I add it to this old PC for testing cPanel installation. I don't think the available space is sufficient for this test. I have another 2 old 120G SSDs. Can I add it to this box for my test? Otherwise I have to buy a new 1TB SSD

If YES please advise HOW

Thanks and Regards

I don't know what "cPanel" is nor want to know, but you have 66G free in cs-root and 40G in cs-home. The OS files take now mere 5G. What is the estimated space requirement of the application that you want to install?

Hi jlehtone,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I don't know. This is my 1st attempt learning to install cPanel. I'll ask their forum later but I need installing a web server first, LAMP is required.

Cpanel is a web UI for managing systems. It runs on RHEL and on CentOS but not on Stream. It pollutes CentOS by excluding packages from the standard repos (adds exclude=long-lilst-of-stuff*) and replaces them with its own.

We don't support cPanel or the systems it's installed on since any advice we might give might break a cPanel system.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Typically files of applications are in /usr (or some in /opt), their configuration in /etc, and data (e.g. website or database content and logs) in /var. All those locations are in the cs-root filesystem in your setup. Size of /home is thus irrelevant (unless that "cPanel" does things differently, but as Trevor said, that ain't our problem).
