DomainMOD is a powerful open-source web application that helps simplify domain name inventory management. It allows you to manage all your domain names, including purchase and sale records, name server records, and important dates. If you're planning to use DomainMOD on your Fedora server, this tutorial will guide you through the installation process.
Before you begin, ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:
Start by updating your Fedora system with the latest packages and security patches using the command below:
dnf update -y
DomainMOD requires a web server, and Apache web server is the most popular one. To install Apache web server and PHP, run the following command:
dnf install httpd php php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-dom php-zip php-cli php-mbstring php-gd php-ldap -y
To confirm that the webserver is running, run the below command:
systemctl start httpd
Once started, proceed to step 3.
DomainMOD requires a MySQL/MariaDB database to store its data. You can use an existing database instance or install a new one on your Fedora server. To install MariaDB and its associated packages, use the command below:
dnf install mariadb mariadb-server -y
Start the MariaDB service:
systemctl start mariadb
To secure your installation, use the below command:
mysql_secure_installation
Once you have all the prerequisites installed, you can now proceed to download and install DomainMOD. Start by navigating to the web directory of your Fedora system by running the command:
cd /var/www/html
Download the DomainMOD ZIP file from the official website using the below command:
curl -L -O https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/archive/master.zip
Unzip the file using the below command:
unzip master.zip
Rename the newly created directory to domainmod:
mv domainmod-master domainmod
Change to the domainmod directory
cd domainmod
Copy the config.inc.dist.php file to config.inc.php file.
cp config.inc.dist.php config.inc.php
Edit the config.inc.php file (use nano or vi) to modify settings. Specifically, change the database settings to match your environment.
# Database Settings
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'domainmod');
define('DB_USER', 'domainmoduser');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
Execute the commands below to configure the database:
mysql -u root -p
Create a new user for DomainMOD with the following command:
CREATE USER 'domainmoduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Create a database for DomainMOD with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE domainmod;
Grant the user access to the database with the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmod.* TO 'domainmoduser'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges with the following command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MariaDB command prompt:
exit
Set appropriate permissions for the DomainMOD installation to work correctly:
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/domainmod/* -R
chmod 755 /var/www/html/domainmod/* -R
You can now access DomainMOD by opening your browser and entering your IP address or domain name followed by /domainmod:
http://your-server-IP/domainmod
You should see DomainMOD's login page prompting you to log in with your admin credentials.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install DomainMOD on a Fedora Server Latest. You can now use the application to manage your domain names in a more organized way.
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!
