ACP Admin is a web-based tool for administrators to manage servers and simplify server administration tasks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ACP Admin on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we start the installation process, ensure that:
First, we need to install some required dependencies for ACP Admin to work correctly. To do that, open the Terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git curl nginx mariadb-server mariadb-client php-fpm php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-curl
Next, we need to clone the ACP Admin repository from the official Github page. To do that, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adfinis-sygroup/acp-admin.git
This command will clone the ACP Admin repository in the current working directory.
ACP Admin requires a database to store its data. To create a database, execute the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
This command will open the MySQL prompt. Now, enter the following command to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE acp_admin;
You can replace "acp_admin" with your preferred database name.
Next, we need to configure the database credentials for ACP Admin. To do that, navigate to the cloned repository directory and locate the .env.example file. We need to copy this file to .env and change the database credentials.
cd acp-admin
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the following fields based on your MySQL database configuration:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=acp_admin
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
composer install
Finally, we need to generate an application key. To do that, execute the following command:
php artisan key:generate
We need to configure the Nginx server to serve the ACP Admin application. Run the following command to create a new Nginx configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/acpadmin
Now, paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
root /var/www/acp-admin/public;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name.
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Now, enable the configuration file by creating a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/acpadmin /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Finally, restart the Nginx server:
sudo service nginx restart
That's it! You can now access the ACP Admin application by visiting your domain name in a web browser.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install ACP Admin on Elementary OS Latest. You can now use ACP Admin to manage your servers and easily perform administrative tasks.
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!
