Installing Countly Community Edition on Alpine Linux Latest

Countly is an open-source mobile and web analytics platform that helps you understand user behavior, track key metrics, and make data-driven decisions to improve your app or website.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Countly Community Edition on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Linux-based machine with Alpine Linux Latest installed
• Docker installed and running
• A command-line terminal

Step 1: Download the Countly Docker Compose file

To get started, download the Countly Community Edition Docker Compose file by running the following command in your terminal:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Countly/countly-server/master/docker-compose.yml -O countly-docker-compose.yml

Step 2: Update the Countly Docker Compose file

Open the countly-docker-compose.yml file in a text editor and update the following values:

• COUNTLY_VERSION: The version of Countly Community Edition you want to install. You can find the latest release on the Countly GitHub page.
• COUNTLY_PASS: The admin password you want to use for Countly.

You can also update other parameters such as the MongoDB connection URI, the Redis connection URI, and the SMTP settings if needed.

Step 3: Start the Countly Docker containers

To start the Countly Community Edition Docker containers, run the following command in your terminal:

$ docker-compose -f countly-docker-compose.yml up -d

This will pull the necessary Docker images and start the Countly and MongoDB containers in detached mode. You can monitor the logs by running docker-compose logs -f.

Step 4: Access Countly Community Edition

After the Docker containers have been started successfully, you can access Countly Community Edition by opening your web browser and entering your machine's IP address followed by port 9000. For example, if your machine's IP address is 192.168.1.100, you would enter http://192.168.1.100:9000 in your web browser.

You will be prompted to enter your admin username (which is countly) and password (which you set in Step 2). Once you log in, you can start exploring Countly and analyzing your app or website data.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Countly Community Edition on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker. You can now start collecting and analyzing user behavior data to improve your app or website.

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!
