DomainMOD is an open-source domain management tool that makes it easy to track, organize and manage your domain names. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install DomainMOD on FreeBSD Latest.
Before you begin, you need to have the following:
First, update the FreeBSD package database and upgrade the installed packages to the latest version:
sudo pkg update
```sudo pkg upgrade````
DomainMOD requires a web server and a database to run. We will use Apache as the web server and MySQL as the database.
Install Apache and PHP by running:
sudo pkg install apache24 mod_php74
Install MySQL by running:
sudo pkg install mysql80-server
After the installation is complete, start the services:
sudo service apache24 start
sudo service mysql-server start
Log in to MySQL:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user for DomainMOD:
CREATE DATABASE domainmod;
CREATE USER 'domainmod'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Give the user necessary permissions on the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmod.* TO 'domainmod'@'localhost';
Flush the database privileges:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL:
EXIT;
Go to the official site of DomainMOD and download the latest version:
wget https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/releases/download/v4.16.02/domainmod_v4.16.02.zip
Unzip the downloaded file:
unzip domainmod_v4.16.02.zip
Move the extracted folder to the Apache document root:
sudo mv domainmod /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Change the ownership of the extracted folder:
sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/domainmod
Create a new virtual host configuration file for Apache:
sudo vi /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/domainmod.conf
Add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/domainmod
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/domainmod">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace 'yourdomain.com' with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file:
ESC
:wq
Restart Apache to load the new virtual host configuration:
sudo service apache24 restart
Now you can access DomainMOD by navigating to your domain name in a web browser.
http://yourdomain.com
Login with the default username and password:
After login, you can change your password and start using DomainMOD.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DomainMOD on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can easily manage your domain names with this powerful tool.
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!
