How to Install PhpSysInfo on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Introduction

PhpSysInfo is a web-based monitoring tool used to display system information such as CPU, memory usage, network usage, and much more. It supports various platforms including Linux, Windows, and macOS. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install PhpSysInfo on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS using the command-line interface.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, there are some requirements that should be met:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Nginx Web Server

PhpSysInfo is a web-based tool, so we need a web server to run it. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx as our web server. To install Nginx, run the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree install nginx

After the installation, start Nginx and enable it to start on boot using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 2: Install PHP

To host PhpSysInfo, we need to install PHP and its libraries. Run the following command to install PHP and its dependencies:

sudo rpm-ostree install php php-opcache php-fpm php-xml php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring php-json

Step 3: Download and Install PhpSysInfo

To download PhpSysInfo, navigate to the web directory of Nginx using the following command:

cd /usr/share/nginx/html/

Next, download the latest version of PhpSysInfo using the following command:

sudo curl -L https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/archive/master.tar.gz -o phpsysinfo.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded file and rename the folder to 'phpsysinfo', using the following commands:

sudo tar xzf phpsysinfo.tar.gz
sudo mv phpsysinfo-master phpsysinfo

Step 4: Configure PhpSysInfo

Now that we have installed PhpSysInfo, we need to configure it to work with Nginx. Create a new configuration file for PhpSysInfo using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/phpsysinfo.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration in the file:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;
    root         /usr/share/nginx/html/phpsysinfo;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Restart Nginx and PHP

After making the necessary configurations, we need to restart Nginx and PHP-FPM to apply the changes. Run the following command to restart both services:

sudo systemctl restart nginx php-fpm

Final Step: Access PhpSysInfo

PhpSysInfo is now ready to use. Open a web browser and navigate to http:///phpsysinfo.

Replace <server-ip-address> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS instance.

You should now see a web page with detailed system information provided by PhpSysInfo.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured PhpSysInfo on Fedora CoreOS. By following this tutorial, you should now have a working instance of PhpSysInfo displaying all the essential system information of your Fedora CoreOS instance.

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!
