In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing phpIPAM on NixOS latest. phpIPAM is a powerful, open-source IP address management solution. By following the steps below, you will be able to install and configure phpIPAM on your NixOS machine.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

The first step is to ensure that all the necessary packages are installed. This can be done using the Nix package manager by running the following command:

nix-env -iA nixos.php nixos.nginx

This command installs the php and nginx packages required for phpIPAM.

Step 2: Clone the phpIPAM Repository

The next step is to clone the phpIPAM repository into your NixOS machine. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam.git /var/www/phpipam

This will clone the phpIPAM repository into the /var/www/phpipam directory on your NixOS machine.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

The next step is to configure Nginx to serve phpIPAM. You can do this by creating a new Nginx server block for phpIPAM. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpipam.conf

In the file, copy and paste the following code:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/phpipam;
    index index.php;

    server_name yourdomain.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
    }
}

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name. Save and close the file.

Step 4: Enable the New Server Block

The next step is to enable the new server block by creating a symbolic link between the sites-available and sites-enabled directories. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpipam.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Step 5: Restart Nginx

The final step is to restart Nginx for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 6: Access phpIPAM

You can now access phpIPAM by opening your web browser and navigating to your domain name. You should see the phpIPAM login page.

In conclusion, you have successfully installed and configured phpIPAM on your NixOS machine. Enjoy managing your IP addresses with this powerful open-source solution.
