Install Plesk on AWS Lightsail Ubuntu

Since AWS is not providing us with and updated Ubuntu image (currently Ubuntu 22.04.1), we need to create a new Ubuntu 20.04 instance and then upgrade it.

To upgrade the new instance to Ubuntu 22.04.1 (or newer) run:

apt update
apt upgrade
do-release-upgrade

Follow the steps and after a reboot you will be running Ubuntu 22.04.1.

To install Plesk, use the One Click installer by running the following command:

sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer)

Login to Plesk UI without password by running as root:

plesk login
