How to Install PhpSysInfo on Manjaro

PhpSysInfo is a web-based dashboard for system monitoring that provides comprehensive information about the operating system, hardware, and software. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PhpSysInfo on Manjaro, a popular Linux distribution.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

• A Manjaro Linux system
• A non-root user account with sudo privileges
• A web server installed on your system (for example, Nginx or Apache)
• PHP installed on your system

Step 1: Update Your System

Before installing any software, it is essential to update your system's package repositories and installed packages to the latest versions.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Required PHP Modules

PhpSysInfo requires some PHP modules to function correctly. Install them by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-xml

Step 3: Download PhpSysInfo

Download the latest PhpSysInfo source code using the following command:

wget https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/archive/refs/tags/v3.3.5.tar.gz

Next, extract the downloaded archive by running the following command:

tar -xvf v3.3.5.tar.gz

Step 4: Move Files to Web Server Directory

Copy the extracted PhpSysInfo source code to the web server document root directory. For example, if using Apache, the default document root directory is /srv/http. On the other hand, if you are using Nginx, the default document root directory is /usr/share/nginx/html.

sudo mv phpsysinfo-3.3.5/ /usr/share/nginx/html/phpsysinfo

Step 5: Configure the Web Server

Since PhpSysInfo is a web application, you need to configure your web server to run it correctly.

Apache

If you are using Apache web server, create a new virtual host configuration file in the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ directory.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phpsysinfo.conf

Add the following configuration in the newly created file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "/usr/share/nginx/html/phpsysinfo"
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/phpsysinfo-error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/phpsysinfo-access_log" common
    <Directory "/usr/share/nginx/html/phpsysinfo">
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Nginx

If you are using Nginx web server, create a new server block configuration file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/phpsysinfo.conf

Add the following configuration in the newly created file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/phpsysinfo;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/phpsysinfo-access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/phpsysinfo-error.log;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Test PhpSysInfo

To test whether PhpSysInfo is running correctly, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://your_server_ip/phpsysinfo/

You should see a web page that displays detailed information about your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured PhpSysInfo on Manjaro.

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!
