Title says it all pretty much.
Had no idea how to do it, didnt find any tutorial for deb8 so I tried ubuntu one instead and it started purging php5 and asked to remove webmail and it got removed and after realising I canceled operation and mail is gone. How can I restore roundcube? Is the only chance by reinstalling vestacp?
Also how to upgrade to php7 properly?

apt-get install roundcube
maybe?

you can try installing webmail but "PURGING" means you also removed associated conf files which is not recoverable. Vesta may not know what files to edit for new installation.

When you upgrade PHP to v7, do not PURGE php5, just dis-associate apache or nginx to use PHP5, Purging can be fatal and may remove alot of dependenices which can be fatal.

If you can, I'd suggest take backup and clean install server again and upgrade php7 using the method I describe here viewtopic.php?p=49243#p49243

Is there any other way? I really do not want to reinstall whole server again. :(
I got php7 installed, now I only need to fix roundcube.
If it purged config files could anyone share yours? Maybe I could use those.

Turns out it even deleted phpmyadmin.
