Instructions for Setting Up BoxBilling on Rocky Linux Version 9
In the realm of open-source billing and client management software, BoxBilling stands out as a robust tool for web hosting providers, freelancers, and digital businesses alike. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a BoxBilling server on Rocky Linux 9, a community-driven, RHEL-compatible enterprise distribution, using Shape.Host's Linux SSD VPS.
To commence, create a Rocky Linux 9 server instance on Shape.Host. Once the server is up and running, connect to it using SSH for Linux/macOS or PuTTY for Windows.
The next step is to download the latest BoxBilling release from GitHub. Once downloaded, extract the files into a new directory.
To ensure a stable, secure, and long-supported operating system, we'll be running BoxBilling on Rocky Linux 9. To further bolster security, a security script in MariaDB will set the root password and remove unsafe defaults.
The BoxBilling web-based installer is then accessed to finalize setup. Environment checks, database connection, admin profile, and final installation steps are completed within the installer.
During the installation process, required directories (cache and upload) for BoxBilling are created with correct ownership and permissions. PHP settings are optimized for BoxBilling performance, and an SSL certificate is issued and configured for the domain using Certbot.
BoxBilling is particularly appealing for freelancers, startups, and smaller hosting providers due to its flexibility. It can adapt to different business models while remaining lightweight and easy to manage.
Once installed, BoxBilling consolidates invoicing, subscriptions, product automation, domain registration, and support ticketing into a single platform. It also offers billing automation, client management, hosting-ready features, global support, and is free and open-source.
Hosting BoxBilling on Shape.Host Linux SSD VPS is recommended for performance, scalability, and reliability. With BoxBilling installed on Rocky Linux 9 with Apache, MariaDB, PHP 8.2, and SSL, you're equipped to manage your clients and billings efficiently.
