No such container: openlitespeed

Rist

Tried to get a WordPress installation with OpenLiteSpeed server, however I've this error:

Error: No such container: openlitespeed
Error response from daemon: No such container: openlitespeed

Thought at first it could be an issue with Debian, but then I've run a test on Ubuntu 24.04 installation on OpenPanel and got the same error.

When creating user I get: https://i.postimg.cc/4J31pxVM/2025-12-29-13-55.png

so seems the root issue here is that the openlitespeed is not even set for the user due to windows characters \r in .env template, i added a workaround in opencli user-add and will check the template.

to update run: opencli update --cli and then please test again.

Seems to be still the same. Steps I've tried so far, all on Ubuntu 24.04 to be sure its done on the most supported distro:

Removed domain, removed the user.
Run the suggested opencli update --cli
Added user - mysql, openlitespeed as webserver.
Logged the user, added subdomain
Created the WP site using automated site creation, and got the same error - no openlitespeed container
Removed the user, forced the updated to latest version (opencli update --force)
Repeated previous steps: create user - default template developer, added subdomain, created WP website with auto tool and got the same error

Error occurred: Command 'docker --context newuser exec openlitespeed wp --path=/var/www/html/test.experimental.domain option list --format=json --allow-root' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Rist any error on step #3 - user creation?

cd /home/USERNAME_HERE && docker --context=USERNAME_HERE compose config does it show openlitespeed?

if any error, please share it

Had to reinstall the whole OS and panel in order to check if OpenLiteSpeed works (not a great way to fix issues..) and finally it does. But there doesn't seem to be the end with problems or lack of features:

Login as Admin button doesn't work. No apparent details shown about this except enigmatic error 500. Doesn't work in WordPress Manager nor in Site Manager (cards / table view)
No apparent way to change the admin password / admin access for the WordPress site when the above doesn't work.
wp-cli seems to be actively used to setup WordPress but I'm unable to find any apparent way to utilize it as either OpenPanel admin or OpenPanel user.
OpenPanel doesn't seem to be able to detect when it's behind Cloudflare. When Cloudflare proxy is enabled OpenPanel complains about the wrong IP, even though it works.
OpenPanel terminal appears to be very limited. It would be great if terminal could be utilized for managing existing sites or just WordPress sites via wp-cli

Probably there some more stuff to point at but I can't recall at this time. Please disregard the above If some of the features / issues are only in community version of OpenPanel. My tests were done on Contabo / Hetzner based VPS, Ubuntu 24.04.

1,2,3 are all PHP and WP-CLI related: make sure PHP has enough resources for WP-CLI commands, and enable dev_mode to actually see the error messages.

cloudflare, you are right, simply disable the check in openadnin > settings > notifications
terminal is non-interactive, other than that there are no restrictions. I'll add it on the to-do list to add some examples to the docs for precisely WP related stuff 👍🏻
