How to Install Dashboard on Alpine Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dashboard on Alpine Linux Latest. Dashboard is a web-based tool that provides a graphical interface for managing your system.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Dashboard, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

apk add nginx nodejs yarn

This will install Nginx web server, Node.js, and Yarn package manager on your system.

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Next, we need to clone the Dashboard repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git

This will create a new directory named dashboard in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies with Yarn

Now, we need to install the dependencies for Dashboard using Yarn. To do this, navigate to the dashboard directory and run the following command:

cd dashboard
yarn install

This command will download and install all of the required dependencies for Dashboard.

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve the Dashboard application. Create a new Nginx server block by creating a file with the following content:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name localhost;

  root /path/to/dashboard/dist;

  index index.html;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
  }
}

Replace /path/to/dashboard with the actual path to the dashboard directory.

Step 5: Build the Application

Once the dependencies are installed, we can build the Dashboard application. To do this, run the following command:

yarn build

This will compile the Dashboard application and generate the necessary files in the dist directory.

Step 6: Start Nginx

Finally, start the Nginx server by running the following command:

nginx -g 'daemon off;'

This will start the Nginx web server and make the Dashboard application available at http://localhost.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dashboard on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now open your web browser and access the Dashboard application at http://localhost.
