In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PhpSysInfo on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
First, we need to update the package list and upgrade any existing packages on our system.
sudo apk update
sudo apk upgrade
PhpSysInfo requires a web server to run, and in this tutorial, we will be using Apache2. To install Apache2, run the following command:
sudo apk add apache2
Once Apache2 is installed, start the service and enable it to start at boot:
sudo rc-service apache2 start
sudo rc-update add apache2
PhpSysInfo is built using PHP, so we need to install PHP and some additional required extensions. Run the following command to install PHP and its required extensions:
sudo apk add php7 php7-apache2 php7-json php7-xml php7-zlib php7-gd php7-mbstring php7-curl
Once PHP and the required extensions are installed, restart Apache2 to pick up the PHP configuration:
sudo rc-service apache2 restart
We can now download PhpSysInfo from the official website. The latest version can be found on this link: https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/releases.
To download and extract the latest version of PhpSysInfo, run the following commands:
mkdir /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpsysinfo
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpsysinfo
sudo wget https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/archive/refs/tags/v3.3.2.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf v3.3.2.tar.gz --strip-components=1
sudo rm v3.3.2.tar.gz
To serve PhpSysInfo through Apache2, we need to configure a virtual host. Create a new configuration file for the PhpSysInfo virtual host:
sudo vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpsysinfo.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
Alias /phpsysinfo /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpsysinfo
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpsysinfo>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save and exit the file.
Next, restart Apache2 to pick up the new virtual host configuration:
sudo rc-service apache2 restart
PhpSysInfo should now be accessible through the web browser on your server. Navigate to http://
You have successfully installed PhpSysInfo on Alpine Linux Latest, and it should now be accessible through your web browser. You can use PhpSysInfo to monitor your server's performance and view system information.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
