Freeboard is a web-based dashboard that allows you to visualize and analyze data from various sources. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Freeboard on Alpine Linux Latest using Nginx.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Freeboard is built using Node.js, so you need to have Node.js installed on your system. To install Node.js on Alpine Linux Latest, run the following command:
apk add nodejs
You can install Freeboard using the npm package manager. To install Freeboard, run the following command:
npm install -g freeboard
This command will download and install Freeboard on your system.
Next, you need to configure Nginx to serve Freeboard. Create a new Nginx configuration file freeboard.conf in either /etc/nginx/conf.d/ or /usr/local/nginx/conf.d/ with the following content:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
}
In this config, we set Nginx to listen on port 80, and proxy all the requests to port 8080. You can replace your_domain.com with your domain name.
To start Freeboard, run the following command:
freeboard start --port 8080
This command will start Freeboard on port 8080.
Open a web browser and type http://your_domain.com (replace your_domain.com with your domain name or IP address) to access Freeboard.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Freeboard on Alpine Linux Latest using Nginx. Now, you can start visualizing and analyzing data using Freeboard on your Alpine Linux system.
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!
