DomainMOD is a free open-source web application for managing domains, hosted on Linux servers. It assists domain owners and web hosting companies in keeping track of all of their domains under one roof.
This tutorial will guide you on how to install DomainMOD on Linux Mint.
Before you can install DomainMOD, you must have a web server up and running, such as Apache or Nginx. If you don't have any web server installed, you can install Apache using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Next, start the Apache server using the command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To ensure that the Apache server will start automatically at boot time, enter:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
If Apache is already installed on your system, you should update it to the latest version. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
DomainMOD requires PHP version 7.2 or higher, and this can be installed on your system with the following command:
sudo apt-get install php
To check the PHP version installed, enter the command php -v.
The DomainMOD application can be downloaded from the project's website, and the latest release should be downloaded. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/archive/v4.14.0.tar.gz
Once it is downloaded, extract it using the command:
sudo tar -xf v4.14.0.tar.gz -C /var/www/html
You will need to change directories to the DomainMOD directory and install the vendor dependencies using Composer. If you have not yet installed Composer, follow the Composer installation guide on their website.
To install the vendor dependencies, run the following command:
cd /var/www/html/domainmod-4.14.0/
sudo composer install
Make sure you change the version numbers to match the version you downloaded.
After installing DomainMOD, configure Apache to serve the DomainMOD application. You can create a new virtual host file or edit the default Apache configuration file, and add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domainmod-4.14.0/public
ServerName domainmod.example.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory "/var/www/html/domainmod-4.14.0/public">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure you change the ServerAdmin and ServerName fields to match your domain details.
Save the file and restart Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
After installing and configuring DomainMOD, you can access it by visiting the domain you specified in the Apache configuration file, such as http://domainmod.example.com. You can now log in with the default credentials:
Upon your first login, you should change these credentials.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DomainMOD on your Linux Mint system.
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!
