I am looking to make the transition from cPanel hosting to DO, I have several client websites that are all placed in ‘cages’. I have a few questions, I understand CloudLinux is not supported here on DO however I was wondering if there anything similar I could use?
If not - does it mean users or hackers are able to upload malicious scripts on an account and spy on other user accounts?
For those who don’t know what CageFS is:
CageFS is a virtualized, per-user file system that uniquely encapsulates each customer, preventing users from seeing each other and viewing sensitive information. CageFS prevents a large number of attacks, including most privilege escalation and information disclosure attacks.
With CageFS:
Even with this extensive security, a user’s environment is fully functional, and users do not feel restricted in any way. CageFS is completely transparent to the end-user, yet impregnable to a hacker.

If it’s any use there do seem to be some instructions for running CloudLinux on DO and their workaround using kexec to switch to the CloudLinux kernel.
