StatPing.ng is an open-source monitoring solution that helps you keep track of your websites and servers. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing StatPing.ng on Alpine Linux Latest.
To install StatPing.ng on Alpine Linux Latest, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new packages, it is always recommended to update the system to its latest version. This can be done with the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Before installing StatPing.ng, we need to install its dependencies. The following command will install all the required dependencies:
sudo apk add --no-cache curl nginx mariadb mariadb-client mariadb-server-utils php8 php8-fpm php8-json php8-mysqli php8-pdo_mysql tzdata
Next, we will download and extract the StatPing.ng package. The following command will download the package and extract it to the /var/www directory:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/statping-ng/statping-ng/releases/download/v0.92.5/statping-ng_0.92.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar xz -C /var/www/
StatPing.ng requires a MySQL database to store its data. We will create a new database and user for StatPing.ng using the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER 'statping'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
CREATE DATABASE statping;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON statping.* TO 'statping'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
We will now configure Nginx to serve the StatPing.ng application. The following configuration file should be saved to /etc/nginx/conf.d/statping.ng.conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_server_name_here;
root /var/www/statping-ng;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
Finally, we need to start the services and enable them to start at boot. The following commands will start the services and enable them to start at boot:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl start php8-fpm
sudo systemctl enable php8-fpm
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
You can now access StatPing.ng by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_server_name_here. The first time you access the application, you will be asked to enter your MySQL database details. Enter the database name, user, password, and host (localhost) and click Test Connection. If the connection is successful, click Save.
You should now be able to use StatPing.ng to monitor your websites and servers.
This tutorial has guided you through the process of installing StatPing.ng on Alpine Linux Latest. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily set up a monitoring solution for your websites and servers.
