How to Install Froxlor on OpenSUSE

Froxlor is a server management panel that allows you to manage various aspects of your server from a web interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Froxlor on OpenSUSE.

Prerequisites

To install Froxlor on OpenSUSE, you need to have the following:

• A server running OpenSUSE with root access
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP installed and configured with Apache web server

Step 1: Add the Froxlor Repository

First, you need to add the Froxlor repository to your OpenSUSE system. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper ar https://ftp.fau.de/froxlor/release/opensuse/latest froxlor

This command adds the Froxlor repository to your system.

Step 2: Install Froxlor

Now that you have added the Froxlor repository, you can proceed to install Froxlor by running the following command:

sudo zypper in froxlor

This command installs Froxlor on your OpenSUSE server.

Step 3: Configure Froxlor

After installing Froxlor, you need to configure it to work with your Apache web server. To do this, you need to create a virtual host in Apache for Froxlor.

Create a file named froxlor.conf in the /etc/apache2/conf.d directory with the following contents:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/froxlor
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/froxlor-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/froxlor-access_log combined
    <Directory /usr/share/froxlor>
        Require all granted
        AllowOverride All
        Options FollowSymLinks
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your-domain.com and www.your-domain.com with your domain name.

Next, enable the mod_rewrite module in Apache by running the following command:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then, restart the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Access Froxlor

You can now access Froxlor by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-domain.com/froxlor. You will be prompted to enter a username and password, which you can create during the installation process.

Once you log in, you can begin using Froxlor to manage your server.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Froxlor on OpenSUSE.

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!
