Rebuilt a Wordpress OpenLiteSpeed + Ubuntu 24 droplet and /opt is missing

Asked by fadecomic

I rebuilt my droplet and chose the OpenLiteSpeed 6.6.1 + Ubuntu 24.04 Wordpress image. According the Quick Start instructions linked in the droplet list, which you can see here: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/openlitespeed-wordpress the setup for Let’s Encrypt should launch on initial login.

However, what I see after changing the initial root password is "sudo: /opt/domainsetup.sh missing". Indeed, the entire /opt folder is missing. I can’t find any information on this. No one else seems to be having this issue. Was there some other step I was supposed to follow to ensure that the /opt folder was populated?

Heya,

I don’t think you need that - /opt/domainsetup.sh. Basically, Marketplace droplets work the following way.

You SSH to it for the first time and it leads you through the process of configuring your first Domain. If you don’t do it right away, you’ll need to later do it manually to configure.

If you need to install Let’s Encrypt, you can run the certbot command and it will guide you through the process of configuring an SSL for you.

If /opt is missing after rebuilding your WordPress OpenLiteSpeed + Ubuntu 24 droplet, it may not have been created during the installation. The /opt directory is typically used for optional or third-party software installations but isn’t always populated by default on a fresh system setup. To resolve this, you can manually create the /opt directory with the following command:

sudo mkdir /opt

Make sure that you have the correct permissions for this directory:

sudo chmod 755 /opt

This should restore /opt, allowing you to install or store additional software as needed. If specific software expects to be in /opt, you may need to reinstall or move those files there.

Thanks JHK

KFSys is correct, you SSH to it for the first time and it leads you through the process of configuring your first Domain. Not sure why the /opt folder is missing, I’d recommend you launch a new droplet from the OpenLiteSpeed WordPress image and it should work out of the box.
