In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing phpIPAM on Clear Linux Latest.
phpIPAM is an open-source IP address management tool written in PHP that allows administrators to manage IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnets, and VLANs.
Before installing any package, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version. Run the following command to update your Clear Linux system:
sudo swupd update
The LAMP stack includes Apache web server, MariaDB database management system, and PHP scripting language. To install the LAMP stack on Clear Linux, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add lamp-server
Next, we need to install some required packages for phpIPAM. To install them, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add zip unzip git php-gettext
Now, let's download the phpIPAM source code from its official website.
mkdir phpipam
cd phpipam
wget https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam/archive/refs/tags/1.4.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf 1.4.1.tar.gz
Then, move the extracted folder to the Apache web server document root directory.
sudo mv phpipam-1.4.1 /var/www/html/phpipam
After that, change the ownership of the phpIPAM directory to the Apache web server user.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phpipam
Create a new Apache web server configuration file for phpIPAM.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpipam.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpipam
ServerName your-server-name.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpipam-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpipam-access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/phpipam>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Enable the newly created Apache configuration.
sudo a2ensite phpipam.conf
Restart the Apache web server.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Create a new MariaDB database for phpIPAM.
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MariaDB root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE phpipam;
CREATE USER 'phpipamuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpipam.* TO 'phpipamuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Change the database connection parameters in the phpIPAM configuration file.
cd /var/www/html/phpipam
sudo cp config.dist.php config.php
sudo nano config.php
Change the following lines in the configuration file:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'phpipamuser');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'phpipam');
Save and close the file.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-name.com/phpipam.
You should see the phpIPAM installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once completed, you can access the phpIPAM web interface by navigating to http://your-server-name.com/phpipam.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed phpIPAM on Clear Linux Latest.
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!
