In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Dashboard on your Fedora Server. Dashboard is an open-source, lightweight, and flexible admin dashboard that allows you to monitor your server's performance, create custom widgets, and track real-time data.
Before we get started, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Dashboard is built using PHP, so you need to ensure that you have Apache and PHP installed on your server. You can install both Apache and PHP by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-json php-mbstring
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows you to manage all the libraries and dependencies required by Dashboard. You can install Composer by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install composer
Now you need to clone the Dashboard repository from GitHub by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git
This will create a new directory named dashboard in your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, you need to install all the dependencies required by Dashboard. You can do this by navigating to the dashboard directory and running the following command:
composer install
Now you need to configure Apache to serve the Dashboard website. You can do this by creating a new Apache virtual host configuration file. Create this file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/dashboard.conf
Now paste the following configuration into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /path/to/dashboard/public
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/path/to/dashboard/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dashboard_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dashboard_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace /path/to/dashboard with the actual path to your Dashboard installation directory. Save the file and exit the editor.
After configuring Apache, you need to enable the new virtual host and start Apache. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
Now you should be able to access Dashboard by going to http://your_domain_or_server_IP/dashboard in your web browser. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the Dashboard login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dashboard on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start exploring and customizing your Dashboard to monitor your server's performance and track real-time data.
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!
