How to Install Ackee on Alpine Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install Ackee on Alpine Linux Latest. Ackee is a powerful, open-source analytics platform that can be used to collect, process and analyze data. It is an easy-to-use platform that offers various customizable features and useful data visualizations.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running Alpine Linux Latest
• A user account with administrative privileges
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update system packages

It is always good to start by updating the packages on the system. This can be done by running the following command:

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade

This command will update the package list and ensure that all installed packages are up-to-date.

Step 2: Install Node.js

Ackee is built with Node.js, so we need to install Node.js and npm (Node.js Package Manager) on our server. To do this, run the following command:

sudo apk add nodejs npm

This command will install both Node.js and npm on your server.

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Ackee requires a database to store its data. We will use MongoDB as the database for our installation. To install MongoDB on your server, run the following command:

sudo apk add mongodb

This command will install MongoDB on your server.

Step 4: Configure MongoDB

After MongoDB has been installed, we need to configure it for our Ackee installation.

1. Start the MongoDB daemon by running the following command:

   sudo mkdir -p /data/db

   sudo mongod --dbpath /data/db

2. Open a new terminal window and run the following command to start the MongoDB shell:

   mongo

3. Create a new MongoDB user by running the following commands:

   use ackee
   
   db.createUser({
       user: "ackee",
       pwd: "password",
       roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "ackee"}]
   })
   

   Replace "password" with a secure password of your choice.

Step 5: Install Ackee

Finally, it is time to install Ackee. You can download the latest version of Ackee from its official website: https://ackee.electerious.com/

1. Download the latest version of Ackee:

   wget https://github.com/electerious/Ackee/archive/master.tar.gz
   tar xf master.tar.gz
   

2. Navigate to the Ackee directory:

   cd Ackee-master

3. Install the required dependencies:

   npm install

4. Configure Ackee by running the following command:

   npm run setup -- --config \
   db.name=ackee \
   db.host=localhost \
   db.port=27017 \
   db.username=ackee \
   db.password=password \
   server.host=0.0.0.0 \
   server.port=3000 \
   tracker.domain=localhost:3000
   

5. Start Ackee:

   npm start

Ackee should now be running on your server.
