Installation

Learn how to install Ubu Console

Ubu Console is only compatible with Windows.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need to set up and download Ubuntu 22.04 .

Ubu Console will only function properly if Ubuntu 22.04 is configured in a specific way. Please follow these detailed installation guides:

Note: Be sure to install phpMyAdmin without Apache2.

Now when this is done and ready, you can download Ubu Console. Download the latest version .

Install OpenSSH Server

Open the Ubuntu 22.04 software.
Open as administrator.
Update your package list and install the OpenSSH server:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
```
Verify the installation:
```
sudo systemctl status ssh
```
Open the SSH configuration file:
```
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
```
Uncomment and adjust the following lines:
```
Port 22
PermitRootLogin yes   # Change to 'no' for better security
PasswordAuthentication yes
```
If PermitRootLogin is set to prohibit password change it to yes and uncomment it.
Save your changes and exit the editor.
Apply the new configuration:
```
sudo systemctl restart ssh
```
Configure the firewall to allow SSH connections. First, check the current status:
```
sudo ufw status
```
Then, allow SSH and enable the firewall:
```
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable
```

Verify the firewall rules to ensure SSH is allowed:

sudo ufw status

You should see:

Status: active
To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
Nginx HTTP                 ALLOW       Anywhere
22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
Nginx HTTP (v6)            ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

Now, open the Ubuntu Control Panel. You will see a screen where you need to configure your server details:
1. For Ubuntu IP, enter the IP address of your server. You can find this using:
```
hostname -I
```
2. For username and password, use the credentials you set up during installation. If you forgot your username, find it with:
```
whoami
```
  If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it by following a separate tutorial.
Now click on the orange save button.
To ensure some sudo commands don't require a password, edit the sudoers file:
```
sudo visudo
```
Add the following line at the end, replacing username with your actual username:
```
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
```
Where the username is is your Ubuntu username. Find this with whoami.
Restart the relevant services and check the logs to confirm they started correctly. For Nginx, you should see:
```
Starting Nginx...
Command succeeded.
Nginx started.
```

For MySQL, you should see:

Starting MySQL...
Preparing to execute command: systemctl start mysql
Command succeeded.
MySQL started.
