1) Prerequisites for Linux Dash
I’m going ahead Linux Dash installation with Apache & php, so make sure you have to install LAMP before proceeding Linux Dash installation, alternatively you can go with LEMP.
2) Install Linux Dash
Just clone the Linux Dash files from GitHub Repository. Make sure you should clone on Apache public folder /var/www/html. It will automatically create folder called linux-dash after the github clone.
# cd /var/www/html # git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
3) Secure Dashboard
Make sure you have to secure your dashboard from unauthorized user access by adding password. The Apache HTTP Server can use a .htpasswd file referenced from a .htaccess file to create restricted protected areas.
# htpasswd -c /var/www/html/linux-dash/.htpasswd 2g
.htpasswd is the standard file name that contains the encrypted format authentication credentials, and you can actually call it whatever you want as long as you reference it in the .htaccess file.
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/linux-dash/.htpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName "My restricted Area" Require valid-user
