Quick guide on how to install phpipam on FreeBSD. I will assume that you know how to install FreeBSD 🙂

### Patch OS
freebsd-update fetch install

### Install all required packages
pkg install nginx php74-sockets php74-openssl php74-gmp php74-gettext php74-mbstring php74-gd php74-curl php74-pear php74-pdo_mysql php74-session php74-filter php74-json php74-iconv php74-ctype mysql57-server git sudo screen

Configure mysql

We won’t do any tuning to mysql, just create a user and database and lets go.

### Enable mysql on boot
sysrc mysql_enable=YES

### Run mysql_secure installation, choose to edit root password and press other to everything else.
mysql_secure_installation

### Login to mysql and create database, user and grant access to user
$ mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE phpipam;
GRANT ALL ON phpipam.* TO phpipam@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'trwITH!lU';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT;

Configure phpipam

Get phpipam and put in www dir. Use git to get code, this will also make it easier for version updates later on.

### Create folder
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/phpipam

### Get phpipam into folder
git clone https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam.git /usr/local/www/phpipam

### use version instead of dev
cd /usr/local/www/phpipam && git checkout -b 1.4 origin/1.4

### Create config.php
cp /usr/local/www/phpipam/config.dist.php /usr/local/www/phpipam/config.php 

### Edit config.php so it matches mysql settings you created
$db['host'] = 'localhost';
$db['user'] = 'phpipam';
$db['pass'] = 'trwITH!lU';
$db['name'] = 'phpipam';
$db['port'] = 3306;

Updating phpipam

### Create backup of config.php
cp /usr/local/www/phpipam/config /tmp/config.php

### Create backup of database
cd /usr/local/www/phpipam
mysqldump -uroot -p phpipam > db/bkp/phpipam_$(date -v-1d +%d-%B-%Y).db

### Pull from GitHub
cd /var/www/phpipam
git pull
git checkout -b 1.x origin/1.x
git submodule update --init --recursive

Finish up by opening the web interface and follow upgrade procedure.

Configure nginx

Make nginx start on boot and backup the original config. We will then add our own.

### Enable nginx and mysql and boot
sysrc nginx_enable=YES

### backup original config
mv /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.org

After we now have the backup, lets add the content beneath to nginx.conf.

user  www;
worker_processes 2;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    include mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;

    #access_log  logs/access.log  main;
    sendfile on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout 65;

    gzip on;

    # disable max upload size
    client_max_body_size 0;
    # add timeouts for very large uploads
    client_header_timeout 30m;
    client_body_timeout 30m;

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name ipam.ramsgaard.me;
        root /usr/local/www/phpipam;
        index index.php;
        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }
    }


    # HTTPS server
    #
    #server {
    #    listen       443 ssl;
    #    server_name  localhost;
    #    ssl_certificate      cert.pem;
    #    ssl_certificate_key  cert.key;
    #    ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
    #    ssl_session_timeout  5m;
    #    ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    #    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;
    #    location / {
    #        root   html;
    #        index  index.html index.htm;
    #    }
    #}
}

Configure PHP/FPM

Lets make a production ini file and afterwards setup php-fpm config file.

cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini{-production,}

Open the file /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf and uncomment the following lines.

listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
listen.mode = 0660

### Replace the TCP socket with unix socket.
;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock;

### Enable and start php-fpm 
sysrc php_fpm_enable=YES
service php-fpm start

Conclusion

We have now installed all the required components, you should now reboot the server and check if all the services is coming up automatically. If so you can proceed and access the web interface of your new phpipam installation. Then follow the guide on how to get setup.
