Bloonix is an open-source monitoring solution that provides monitoring of servers, applications, and network devices. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Bloonix on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing Bloonix, we need to update the system to have the latest packages by running the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
Bloonix has some dependencies that are required before we can install it. We will use the following command to install these dependencies:
apk add --no-cache bash nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-json php7-phar php7-openssl curl supervisor
Note: The --no-cache flag is used to prevent caching the package index locally.
We will download the latest version of Bloonix by running the following command:
curl -sSL https://bloonix-monitoring.org/downloads/bloonix-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar -zxvf -
After the download is complete, we need to navigate to the extracted directory where Bloonix is located and run the following command to install it:
./bloonix install
Now that we have installed the Bloonix server, we need to start its services. To do this, we will use the following commands:
service bloonix-daemon start
service nginx start
service php-fpm7 start
service supervisor start
We can now access Bloonix by opening a web browser and going to http://<server-ip-address>/bloonix-ui.
Note: Replace <server-ip-address> with your server's IP address.
In this tutorial, we have installed Bloonix on Alpine Linux Latest by installing its dependencies, downloading and installing Bloonix, and starting its services. We can now access the Bloonix monitoring dashboard by visiting http://<server-ip-address>/bloonix-ui.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
