FlashPanel

A few FlashPanel servers experienced a short service interruption due to an issue during the NGINX repository migration process.

While migrating from ppa:ondrej/nginx to the official NGINX repository, the nginx-common package was unexpectedly removed by apt autoremove, which caused NGINX configuration loss on some servers.

As a result, some websites became temporarily inaccessible, while the underlying services and data remained unaffected.

The issue has been resolved and all affected services are back online.

Following this incident, FlashPanel will introduce:

automatic NGINX configuration backups
faster configuration recovery
additional safeguards for critical system packages

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience 🙏

🛠️ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝗽 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀!
Earlier this week, some of you may have hit a strange error when installing 𝗡𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘅 or 𝗣𝗛𝗣 on a new server in FlashPanel:
ERROR: ppa 'ondrej/nginx' not found (use --login if private)
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱? This wasn't a FlashPanel bug — it was caused by an outage at 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹'𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗽𝗮𝗱 infrastructure on May 1, 2026, after a large-scale cyberattack hit several of their services (ppa.launchpad.net, archive.ubuntu.com, the Snap Store, and more). When the Launchpad API went down, the standard Ubuntu tool apt-add-repository could no longer look up the PPA and gave that misleading "not found" message — even though the PPA itself was perfectly fine.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱: ✅ FlashPanel now installs Nginx and PHP with a smart 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: if Launchpad's API is unreachable, we automatically configure the PPA the manual way (direct repository URL + Ondřej Surý's official GPG key). Your installs will keep working even if Canonical has another bad day. ✅ We also cleaned up a couple of related rough edges — leftover source files after a failed retry, and a harmless-but-noisy warning the first time a site's Nginx config is synced.
If you saw this error on a server, just 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 — it'll go through cleanly now.
Thanks for your patience! 🙏
