How to Install Froxlor on Fedora CoreOS Latest

This tutorial will guide you on how to install Froxlor, an open-source server management panel, on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the Froxlor installation on Fedora CoreOS, ensure that:

You have access to a terminal with sudo privileges.
Your system is up-to-date.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Firstly, we need to install some dependencies required for Froxlor. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo dnf install -y httpd mariadb php php-mysqlnd php-xml php-pdo php-mbstring php-gd php-json php-bcmath php-process mod_ssl openssl net-tools wget tar

Step 2: Download and Extract Froxlor

Next, we need to download and extract the Froxlor tarball from its official website. Run the following command to download the latest version of Froxlor:

sudo wget https://files.froxlor.org/releases/froxlor-latest.tar.gz

After the download is complete, extract the tarball using the following command:

sudo tar -xzf froxlor-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Step 3: Configure Apache and MariaDB

In this step, we will configure Apache and MariaDB for use with Froxlor.

Apache Configuration

Firstly, we need to create an Apache configuration file for Froxlor. Run the following command to create the configuration file:

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

Add the following lines to the file:

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

    <Directory /var/www/froxlor>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/froxlor_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/froxlor_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

MariaDB Configuration

Next, we need to create a MariaDB database and user for Froxlor. Run the following commands to achieve this:

sudo mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you to enter your MariaDB root password. After entering the password, run the following commands at the MariaDB prompt:

CREATE DATABASE froxlor;
CREATE USER 'froxlor_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'froxlor_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON froxlor.* TO 'froxlor_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Ensure to replace "froxlor_password" with a secure password of your choice.

Step 4: Install Froxlor

Now, we are ready to install Froxlor. In your web browser, navigate to your server's IP address or domain name. This should show you the Froxlor installation wizard.

Select your language, and accept the license agreement.
On the next screen, select "Webserver (Apache with mod_php)" as the web server type, and "MySQL" as the database type.
Enter the required MariaDB database credentials, and click the "Create Database Tables" button.
On the next screen, fill in your desired admin username, password, and email address. Click the "Install Froxlor" button to complete the installation.

After the installation is complete, you should be redirected to the Froxlor login screen.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Froxlor on Fedora CoreOS. You can now log in to Froxlor and start managing your server.
