In this tutorial, we will learn how to install ACP Admin on POP! OS, which is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. ACP Admin is a web-based user interface for administering LDAP directories.
Before installing ACP Admin, you will need the following minimum system requirements:
Before installing ACP Admin, we need to install some dependencies for it. Open the terminal and run the following command
sudo apt install -y apache2 php php-ldap libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
This command will install the required dependencies for ACP Admin.
Now we need to download ACP Admin from its official website. Open your web browser and navigate to https://acp-admin.ch/download. On this page, you will find download links for the latest version of ACP Admin.
After downloading the file, extract it to the /var/www/html directory. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo cp -R /path/to/acp-admin /var/www/html/
Substitute /path/to/acp-admin with the path to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the ACP Admin file.
Now change the ownership of the ACP Admin directory to the www-data user:
sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/html/acp-admin/
Now we need to configure Apache to serve the ACP Admin web interface. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/acp-admin.conf
This command will open the ACP Admin configuration file in the nano text editor. Paste the following configuration code into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/acp-admin/www
<Directory /var/www/html/acp-admin/www>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/acp-admin-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/acp-admin-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name or IP address. Save and exit the file.
Enable the new virtual host configuration by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite acp-admin.conf
Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com/admin/install. Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name or IP address. This will take you to the ACP Admin setup page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the ACP Admin installation.
At this stage, you have successfully installed ACP Admin on your POP! OS system. You can now use this web-based interface to manage your LDAP directories.
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!
