ISPConfig is a multi-service control panel that enables web hosting, email hosting, DNS management, and more on Linux servers. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install ISPConfig on the latest version of POP! OS using the command line.
Before you install ISPConfig, you should update your system to make sure it has the latest security patches and bug fixes. Open your terminal and run the following command to update the system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
ISPConfig requires several dependencies to function correctly. Run the following command in your terminal to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install -y git wget unzip net-tools openssl ca-certificates apt-transport-https lsb-release
Next, we need to download the ISPConfig installation script from the official ISPConfig website. Open your web browser and go to the following link: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-latest.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, navigate to your home directory using the command line and run the following command to extract the downloaded archive:
tar -xzf ISPConfig-3-latest.tar.gz
Now that we have the ISPConfig installation script, we can begin the installation process. Navigate to the extracted ISPConfig directory using the following command:
cd ispconfig3_install/install/
Run the installation script as a superuser using the following command:
sudo bash install.sh
During the installation process, you'll be prompted to answer some questions, such as the MySQL root password and ISPConfig administrator password.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the ISPConfig control panel by opening your web browser and navigating to the following URL:
https://<your-server-ip>:8080
Replace <your-server-ip> with the IP address of your server.
If you have enabled the firewall in POP! OS, you'll need to open the ports used by ISPConfig. Run the following command to open the required ports:
sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8443/tcp
That's it! You have successfully installed ISPConfig on POP! OS. Now you can use ISPConfig to manage your web hosting, email hosting, DNS management, and more on your Linux server.
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!
