How to Install DomainMOD on Void Linux

DomainMOD is an open-source tool that helps you manage your domain and hosting infrastructure.

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install DomainMOD on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• A non-root user with sudo privileges on your system.
• A running LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP).
• DomainMOD source code. You can download it from the official website or GitHub.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for DomainMOD to work correctly.

To do that, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S apache2 mysql mysql-server php php-fpm php-mysqli php-openssl php-gd php-json php-curl php-mbstring php-dom php-xmlrpc

This command will install Apache, MySQL server, and all necessary PHP extensions required for DomainMOD.

Step 2: Configure MySQL

Next, you need to configure your MySQL server for DomainMOD.

You can do that by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable mysqld
sudo systemctl start mysqld
sudo mysql_secure_installation

This will enable the MySQL server and start it, and then you will run the mysql_secure_installation command to secure your MySQL installation.

During the installation process, you will be asked to provide a password for the root user, and you can also answer the prompts with Y for Yes or N for No.

Once you have secured your MySQL installation, create a new database and user for DomainMOD using the following SQL statements:

CREATE DATABASE domainmoddb;
CREATE USER 'domainmoduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmoddb.* TO 'domainmoduser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Remember to replace your-password with a strong and secure password.

Step 3: Install DomainMOD

Now, you can install DomainMOD on your Void Linux system by following these steps:

1. Extract the DomainMOD archive to your Apache web root directory /srv/http/htdocs:

sudo tar -xvf domainmod-4.17.0.tar.gz -C /srv/http/htdocs/

2. Rename the domainmod-4.17.0/ directory to domainmod/:

sudo mv /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod-4.17.0/ /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod

3. Change the ownership of the domainmod/ directory to the Apache user:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod

4. Copy the default configuration file for DomainMOD:

sudo cp /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod/inc/config.example.php /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod/inc/config.php

5. Edit the config.php file and update the database credentials:

sudo nano /srv/http/htdocs/domainmod/inc/config.php

Update the following lines with your MySQL database details:

define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_PORT", "3306");
define("DB_USER", "domainmoduser");
define("DB_PASS", "your-password");
define("DB_NAME", "domainmoddb");

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 4: Configure Apache

The final step is to configure Apache to serve DomainMOD.

1. Create a new Apache configuration file for DomainMOD:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/domainmod.conf

2. Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/htdocs/domainmod"
    ServerName example.com
    <Directory "/srv/http/htdocs/domainmod">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name or server IP address.

3. Restart the Apache web server:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 5: Access DomainMOD

Now, you can access DomainMOD on your web browser by navigating to http://example.com/ or http://localhost/.

You should see the DomainMOD login page, and you can use the default administrator credentials to log in.

Default Administrator Credentials:

Username: admin@admin.com

Password: password

Conclusion

You have successfully installed DomainMOD on your Void Linux system, and now you can start managing your domain and hosting infrastructure.

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!
