In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing ACP Admin, a web-based password manager, on Linux Mint Latest.
Before installing ACP Admin, we need to make sure all required dependencies are installed on our system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd
This command installs Apache web server, MariaDB database server, and required PHP packages.
Now, we need to configure MariaDB to make it ready for ACP Admin. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts and set a strong password for MariaDB root user. Once done, enter the following commands to create a database for ACP Admin and create a user with permissions to access this database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE acp_admin;
CREATE USER 'acp_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON acp_admin.* TO 'acp_admin'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace password with a strong password.
Now, we need to configure Apache to serve the ACP Admin files. First, move the downloaded acp-admin-master directory to /var/www/html/ using the following command:
sudo mv acp-admin-master /var/www/html/acp-admin
Then, open the 000-default.conf file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines inside the <VirtualHost *:80> block:
Alias /acp-admin "/var/www/html/acp-admin/public"
<Directory "/var/www/html/acp-admin/public">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file, and restart Apache using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, we need to configure ACP Admin to connect to the MariaDB database we created earlier. First, rename the .env.example file to .env using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/acp-admin/
mv .env.example .env
Open the .env file using the following command:
nano .env
Update the following lines to match your database details:
DB_DATABASE=acp_admin
DB_USERNAME=acp_admin
DB_PASSWORD=password
Save and close the file.
The setup is now complete and you should be able to access ACP Admin by navigating to http://localhost/acp-admin in your web browser.
Log in with the default username admin and password secret. You should change the default password as soon as you log in.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed ACP Admin on Linux Mint Latest.
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!
