ValaiNet v1.0

Valainet is a project that will help IT administrators to monitor their server in realtime and identify the potential issue with it. This project also has modules to manage service tickets, Asset management. Please run the documentation file to learn more about operating the software.

ValaiNet consists of Server and Client Software. The server software is the point to monitor and control all the client systems. Please refer to the documentation on how to operate the software.

Installing ValaiNet Server

This software requires linux to run using LAMP stack installed. The software is easy to install and configure with minimal effort. I've only tested with Ubuntu server 20.04. This software also works with Windows and other operating systems.

Installing LAMP stack in Ubuntu 20.04 Server

1. Install Apache 2

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2

2. Set Global server name

sudo apache2ctl configtest

Output
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

Open the main configuration file in your text editor

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the below text

ServerName server_domain_or_IP

Check for the error using

sudo apache2ctl configtest

Now the output should read

Output
Syntax OK

Now finally restart apache server to implement changes

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Add exception to firewall so you can access the application over the internet

sudo ufw allow in "Apache Full"

3. Install MySQL or other DB of your choice

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

optional : you can secure the mysql installation.

4. Install PHP

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

Finally restart Apache

sudo systemctl restart apache2
