Sentora is an open-source web hosting control panel that allows you to manage all aspects of your web server, such as files, databases, domains, email accounts, etc. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Sentora on macOS using the command line.
Before we proceed with the installation, we need to make sure that our system meets the following requirements:
If you have already met these requirements, you can proceed with the installation process.
The first step is to download the Sentora installation script from the official website. Open your terminal and run the following command:
curl -O http://sentora.org/install
This will download the installation script to your current working directory.
After downloading the installation script, we need to make it executable by running the following command:
chmod +x install
Now, run the installation script with root privileges by running the following command:
sudo ./install
This will start the installation process, and you will be asked to enter some information about your system, such as the webserver configuration, database connection details, and administrative username/password.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Sentora dashboard by visiting your server's IP address or domain name followed by "/sentora". For example, if your server's IP address is "192.168.1.100", go to "http://192.168.1.100/sentora" in your web browser.
Log in with the administrative username and password you entered during the installation process, and you will be greeted with the Sentora dashboard.
That's basically it. You have now successfully installed Sentora on your macOS system. With Sentora, you can easily manage your web server without the need for complex configurations.
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!
