A little bit too late, but I did.
When you are creating an account in HestiaCP make sure to:
- Add a custom document root when creating an account where Waterhole will reside.
- Enable user to use SSH.
After that run as root
v-add-user-composer your-userLogin via ssh as your user and follow Waterhole install instructions except you need to do to first step like this before editing your env file with users.
php ~/.composer/composer create-project waterhole/waterhole path/to/forumAll options seem to work except I didn't tried update. It also has some weird lag which I now notice here as well.
I am guessing the same process applies to cPanel or DirectAdmin.

May 2, 2024 But you are free (not in the monetary sense) to modify and redistribute Waterhole, you just have to abide by what's stated in the licence. So, in the case of redistribution, you're free to do that, p...Then that is not the open source by definition.
https://opensource.org/osdI understand what you want to say but that's "source-available" not "open source". Technically in literal sense open-source can mean that as well. But in the last 20-30 years, common meaning of open source is what I am claiming.
Basically, as Waterhole becomes more popular, more people will notice this. Heck some will even begin using it because they think it's "the open-source" not "an open-source"
Please check those two Wiki links few posts above which explain it well.
Here is the already discussed topic with the Waterhole dev.

May 2, 2024 I think it's a common misconception that open source equals free (monetary), it does not, though it can be free of cost.Open source does not mean free (monetary). It means one can modify and redistribute code and software.
In this case, the software is not open source but source-available. I just figured even the owner admitted it on Reddit.

May 2, 2024 The code is available for everyone to see on GitHub, so that makes it open source.But that's not open source.
It's just source-available software.
Open source means we can modify and redistribute software.

I didn't check the error logs but for me setup worked and I could create boards, change permissions and so on...
Directories should be 755 and files 644.
Unfortunately, I deleted my Waterhole installation as I decided to take different approach to my site idea.
