How to Install DomainMOD on Fedora CoreOS

DomainMOD is a web-based domain name management tool that simplifies the process of managing domain names, enabling users to manage their domain portfolios from a single centralized location. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing DomainMOD on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need the following:

• A VPS or dedicated server with Fedora CoreOS already installed
• Root or sudo user access to the server
• Basic knowledge of Linux terminal commands

Step 1: Update the System

First, update the Fedora CoreOS system by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install the Required Packages

Next, install the required packages by running the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mcrypt php-xml php-mbstring php-json php-intl

Step 3: Configure MariaDB

Once the packages are installed, it's time to configure MariaDB. Start by enabling the service:

sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb

Then, run the following command to secure the installation:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

You'll be prompted to answer questions about the root user password, remote access, and other security settings. Follow the prompts, and then create a new database and user for DomainMOD by running the following commands:

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

Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Download and Install DomainMOD

Next, download the latest version of DomainMOD from the official website by running the following command:

wget https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/archive/master.zip

Unzip the downloaded file:

unzip master.zip

Then, move the extracted files to the Apache web server directory:

sudo mv domainmod-master /var/www/html/domainmod

Change the ownership of the DomainMOD directory to Apache user:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/domainmod

Step 5: Configure Apache

Finally, configure Apache to serve the DomainMOD website. Start by creating a new configuration file for DomainMOD by running the following command:

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

Add the following lines of code to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domainmod
ServerName domainmod.example.com

<Directory /var/www/html/domainmod>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domainmod_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domainmod_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace 'domainmod.example.com' with your domain name, and save and close the file.

Restart the Apache server:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access DomainMOD

You can now access DomainMOD by visiting your domain name in a web browser (e.g. http://domainmod.example.com). Follow the prompts to set up your administrator account and configure the software to your liking.

And that's it! You now have a fully functional installation of DomainMOD on your Fedora CoreOS server.
