Installation
Installing the packages needed
To begin lets install Git package using this following command:
sudo apt-get install git -y
Once installed run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
Next, install apache by making use of the following command. I already made a tutorial on how to install Apache on Ubuntu! But I will still show you how to install Apache in this article.
Just run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 -y
Setting Up Dash onto Apache
And then move the file you git cloned into the html location
mv linux-dash /var/www/
Switch the following directory
cd /var/www/
Change ownership and permission of the Linux dash directory
chown -R www-data.www-data linux-dash
chmod -R 775 linux-dash
Next, create a new virtual host configuration for access the Linux dash:
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/linuxdash.conf
< VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.(your server public ip)
DocumentRoot /var/www/linux-dash/
< Directory /var/www/linux-dash/>
AllowOverride All
allow from all
< /Directory>
< /VirtualHost>
Then, Enable the site access for new creating virtual host configuration
a2ensite linuxdash.conf
Reload Apache
systemctl reload apache2
Next, enable rewrite module.
a2enmod rewrite
Restart Apache2
systemctl restart apache2
Now, open a browser and type the following URL of http://local IP (or) domain name. To connect your domain make sure your server is open to port 80. Next make an A record in your Domain Registar. The name should be www and the value or host should be your server's ip. Wait a couple of minutes and type your domain name. If you use Cloudflare then you don't to wait alot.
