    Hi, ISPConfig documentation for CentOS 7 and CentOS 8

    Source: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...dovecot-and-ispconfig/#nbspprepare-the-server

    I don't want to create VMs via ISPConfig panel and I never will. So I guess I don't need Firewall bastille?

    I want to have Firewalld on the server, but the documentation advises to uninstall it. Is there a good reason for that? What if I leave it on + allow ports for http, mariadb, smtp, imap, ftp, etc.?

    That can't hurt anything, right?
    Can I leave firewalld on if we don't create any virtual servers using ispconfig?

    BTW: Is AlmaLinux 9 support coming soon?

    You can leave firewalld on, just take care to not use firewall functions in ISPConfig then.

    I understand. If I execute the following commands, I don't have to turn off firewalld.

    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port={21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,3306,4190,8080,8081}/tcp
    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=40110-40210/tcp
    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=53/udp
    sudo firewall-cmd --reload

    We don't use a firewall in ISPConfig administration, so it should be fine.

    Thanks you.
