phpIPAM is an open-source IP address management system that allows you to manage IP address space and track any IP address assignments.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install phpIPAM on Alpine Linux latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, update the server to the latest version.
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Next, install the required packages for phpIPAM to function correctly.

Download the latest version of phpIPAM from the official website.
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam/archive/1.4.tar.gz
Unpack the downloaded archive.
tar xzvf 1.4.tar.gz
Copy the extracted files to the web server directory.
sudo cp -r /tmp/phpipam-1.4/* /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
Set the correct ownership and permissions.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/localhost/htdocs
Create a new Apache configuration file for phpIPAM.

You have successfully installed phpIPAM on Alpine Linux latest. You can now manage your IP address space and track IP addresses.
Keep in mind that you also need to configure DNS or DHCP server to assign IP addresses to your devices.
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!
