Poweradmin is a powerful DNS management tool that allows you to manage DNS servers, zones, and records. In this tutorial, we will explain step-by-step how to install Poweradmin on Void Linux.
Before you start with the installation process, you need to have the following requirements:
First, update your Void Linux system and install PHP and the required PHP extensions for Poweradmin. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S
sudo xbps-install -S php php-pdo php-mysqli php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-dom php-xmlrpc
Next, you need to create a MySQL database and user for Poweradmin. Run the following commands to log in to the MySQL as root:
mysql -u root -p
Once you are logged in, run the following commands to create a database and user:
CREATE DATABASE poweradmin;
CREATE USER 'poweradmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON poweradmin.* TO 'poweradmin'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Make sure to replace password with a strong and secure password of your choice.
Download Poweradmin using the following command:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/poweradmin/poweradmin-2.1.7.tgz
Once the download is complete, extract the tarball and move the extracted folder to the Apache server document root directory:
tar -xzf poweradmin-2.1.7.tgz
sudo mv poweradmin-2.1.7 /var/www/html/poweradmin
Create a new configuration file for Poweradmin by copying the sample configuration file:
cd /var/www/html/poweradmin
sudo cp inc/config-me.inc.php inc/config.inc.php
Edit the configuration file using a text editor of your choice:
sudo nano inc/config.inc.php
Update the following values in the configuration file:
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'poweradmin';
$db_pass = 'password'; // Replace with the password that you set for the poweradmin user
$db_name = 'poweradmin';
Save and close the configuration file.
Create a new virtual host configuration file for Poweradmin:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/poweradmin.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName poweradmin.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/poweradmin
<Directory /var/www/html/poweradmin>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart the Apache server to apply the changes:
sudo service httpd restart
Open your web browser and go to http://poweradmin.example.com (replace poweradmin.example.com with your server's hostname or IP address).
You should now see the Poweradmin login page. Use the default username and password to log in:
adminchangemeAfter logging in, you can change the password and start managing your DNS servers, zones, and records using Poweradmin.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install Poweradmin on Void Linux. Now you can use this powerful DNS management tool to manage your DNS servers, zones, and records.
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!
