phpIPAM is a powerful open-source IP address management system. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing phpIPAM on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we start the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that need to be installed on your system.
To begin with, we will install the LAMP stack on our system. This will include Apache, PHP, and MySQL. Run the following command to install the LAMP stack:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
Start the Apache and MySQL services and enable them to automatically start on boot:
sudo systemctl start httpd mariadb
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
Configure MariaDB by running the mysql_secure_installation command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Login to MariaDB:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for phpIPAM:
CREATE DATABASE phpipam;
Create a new user and grant all privileges to the phpipam database:
CREATE USER 'phpipamuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpipam.* TO 'phpipamuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Install Git and Composer on your system:
sudo pacman -S git composer
Create a new directory for phpIPAM in the web root directory:
sudo mkdir /srv/http/phpipam
Change the owner of the directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown http:http /srv/http/phpipam
Navigate to the newly created directory and clone the phpIPAM repository:
cd /srv/http/phpipam
sudo git clone --recursive https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam.git .
Install the required libraries using Composer:
sudo composer install --no-dev
Create a new configuration file:
sudo cp config.dist.php config.php
Open the config.php file and configure the database settings:
sudo nano config.php
/* Database connection details */
$database['host'] = 'localhost';
$database['user'] = 'phpipamuser';
$database['pass'] = 'password';
$database['name'] = 'phpipam';
$database['port'] = 3306;
Save and exit the file.
Create a new Apache configuration file for phpIPAM:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phpipam.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
Alias /phpipam /srv/http/phpipam/
<Directory /srv/http/phpipam>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and exit the file.
Enable the newly created configuration file:
sudo echo "Include conf/extra/phpipam.conf" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpipam. You should see the login page for phpIPAM.
Login with the default username and password:
Username: admin
Password: ipamadmin
That's it! You have successfully installed phpIPAM on EndeavourOS latest. You can now start managing your IP addresses.
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!
