How to Install Hubleys on Alpine Linux Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Hubleys, a dashboard utility for managing Kubernetes clusters, on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Alpine Linux Latest installed on your system
• Root privileges to run commands

Steps

1. Install Git and Curl utilities using the following command:

   apk add git curl
   

2. Clone the Hubleys repository from GitHub using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/knrdl/hubleys-dashboard.git
   

3. Switch to the directory containing the cloned repository using the following command:

   cd hubleys-dashboard
   

4. Install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) using the following command:

   apk add nodejs npm
   

5. Install the project dependencies using the following command:

   npm install
   

6. Create a production build of the project using the following command:

   npm run build
   

7. Install the Lighttpd web server using the following command:

   apk add lighttpd
   

8. Configure Lighttpd by creating a new configuration file /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/hubleys.conf with the following content:

   server.document-root   = "/path/to/hubleys-dashboard/dist"
   server.port            = 80
   server.errorlog        = "/var/log/lighttpd/hubleys.error.log"
   
   # Set the index page
   index-file.names       = ( "index.html" )
   
   # Add the rewrite rule for history API
   url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( "^/api/(.*)$" => "/api/$1", "^/.*$" => "/index.html" )
   

   Replace /path/to/hubleys-dashboard/dist with the actual path to the dist directory in the cloned repository.

9. Start the Lighttpd web server using the following command:

   rc-service lighttpd start
   

10. Verify that the web server is running by accessing the Hubleys dashboard in your web browser using the following URL:

http://<your-server-ip-address>

Replace <your-server-ip-address> with the IP address of your Alpine Linux system.
