Customisation ​

Adding a new theme ​

Create a new theme in /usr/local/hestia/web/css/theme/custom/my_theme.css

.body-login,
.body-reset {
	height: auto;
	padding-top: 10%;
	background: rgb(231, 102, 194) !important;
	background: radial-gradient(circle, rgba(231, 102, 197, 1), rgba(174, 43, 177, 1)) !important;
}

Customising a default theme ​

Changes to default themes are always overwritten during updates. Custom CSS files can be uploaded to /usr/local/hestia/web/css/custom in .css or .min.css format.

Please note that default.css base theme is always loaded. Other default and custom themes override the rules in this file.

Customising the Domain not found page ​

The Domain not found page is located in /var/www/html/index.html. You can edit it using the following command:

nano /var/www/html/index.html

Customising the default domain skeleton structure ​

The default structure that will be added to a domain when it gets created is located in /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/skel/public_html.

Running commands before and after updates ​

With the release of Hestia 1.4.6 we have added pre-install and post-install hooks. For example, you can use hooks to:

• Disable and enable demo mode before and after an update.
• Restore a customised skeleton page.

Hooks are located in one of the following files:

• /etc/hestiacp/hooks/pre_install.sh
• /etc/hestiacp/hooks/post_install.sh

For example, to disable demo mode on pre-install:

#!/bin/bash
sed -i "s|^DEMO_MODE=.*'|DEMO_MODE='no'|g" $HESTIA/conf/hestia.conf
