Network Interfaces Manager

Laravel Network Interfaces Manager Application for Ubuntu Linux

Description

The idea of this application is creating a web based application to read and write the network interfaces in Linux systems.

System Requirements

Ubuntu 16.06
PHP 7.1.3
MySQL
Nginx

Installation

Copy the .env.example to .env

Install Network Manager for ubuntu

sudo apt-get install network-manager

By default, NetworkManager does not manage interfaces that appear in /etc/network/interfaces.d/*, we need to change this in order to make it work by editing the file:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

And change the line managed to true

managed=true

Restart Network Manager:

sudo service network-manager restart

Execute the following commands to give permissions to www-data user.

sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/network/interfaces.d
sudo chown www-data:www-data /sbin/ifconfig

Add the following lines to the /etc/sudoers file. (use visudo)

www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ifconfig
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/ip
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service networking restart

Self Update

Update the system automatically by installing envoyer

composer global require laravel/envoy

Uncomment the schedule task command

$schedule->command('envoy run deploy --branch=' . env('GIT_BRANCH'))->weekly();
