How to install DomainMOD on Alpine Linux Latest

DomainMOD is a free, open-source domain name management tool that simplifies the process of managing your domain name portfolio. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install DomainMOD on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you move ahead, you need the following:

  1. A server running Alpine Linux Latest.
  2. A user account on the server with sudo permissions.
  3. A web server (we'll be using Nginx in this tutorial).
  4. A working MySQL/MariaDB installation.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Start by installing the necessary dependencies:

sudo apk add --no-cache php7 php7-fpm php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-json php7-ctype php7-simplexml php7-dom php7-xmlwriter php7-zip nginx

Step 2: Clone the DomainMOD Repository

Next, you need to clone the DomainMOD repository from GitHub. Run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod.git /var/www/html/domainmod

Replace /var/www/html/domainmod with the path to your web server's root directory.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

For DomainMOD to function correctly, you need to add an Nginx configuration file. Create a new file at /etc/nginx/conf.d/domainmod.conf with the following contents:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE;

  root /var/www/html/domainmod;
  index index.php;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock; # Change to your PHP version
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
}

Replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE with the domain name you'll be using for your DomainMOD installation.

Now, test your configuration by running the following command:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no syntax errors, restart Nginx with the following command:

sudo service nginx restart

Step 4: Configure MySQL/MariaDB

Next, you need to create a new database and user for DomainMOD to use. Run the following commands to log in to your MySQL/MariaDB server, create a new database, and a new user:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE domainmod;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmod.* TO 'domainmod'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with a secure password.

Step 5: Configure DomainMOD

Finally, you need to configure DomainMOD to use your database. Edit the /var/www/html/domainmod/config.php file and update the following lines with your MySQL/MariaDB database details:

$config['db_type'] = 'mysql';
$config['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_name'] = 'domainmod';
$config['db_user'] = 'domainmod';
$config['db_pass'] = 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';

Save the file and visit your domain name in your web browser to access your DomainMOD installation.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed DomainMOD on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use DomainMOD to manage your domain names from a single, easy-to-use interface.
