Froxlor is a free and open-source server management panel that allows you to manage your web hosting server. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install Froxlor on EndeavourOS.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, we need to install some packages required for Froxlor to function:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
Froxlor is available on the Arch User Repository (AUR), which can be installed using the yay package manager. If you don't have yay, you can install it using the following command:
sudo pacman -S yay
Once yay is installed, run the following command to install Froxlor:
yay -S froxlor
Alternatively, Froxlor can be installed from the source. First, we need to create a directory where we will download the Froxlor files:
sudo mkdir /var/www/froxlor
Next, we need to download the Froxlor source code:
sudo wget https://files.froxlor.org/releases/froxlor-latest.tar.gz -O /tmp/froxlor-latest.tar.gz
Extract the archive to the Froxlor directory:
sudo tar xf /tmp/froxlor-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/froxlor --strip-components=1
Set the correct permissions on the Froxlor directory:
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/froxlor
Next, we need to create a MySQL database and user for Froxlor:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE froxlor;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON froxlor.* TO 'froxlor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Note: Replace "yourpassword" with a strong password.
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve the Froxlor files:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /froxlor "/var/www/froxlor"
<Directory "/var/www/froxlor">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymlinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open a web browser and go to http://your-server-ip/froxlor.
You should now see the Froxlor setup page. Follow the instructions to complete the setup process.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Froxlor on EndeavourOS Latest. With Froxlor, you can easily manage your web hosting server.
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!
