Thruk is an open-source web-based monitoring tool for Naemon, Nagios, Icinga, and Shinken. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Thruk on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update and upgrade the existing packages. Use the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
To install Thruk, we first need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command:
sudo apk add build-base openssl-dev perl-dev perl-plugin-ssl perl-net-ssleay perl-io-socket-ssl
Next, we need to download and extract the Thruk package. Use the following commands:
sudo wget https://github.com/sol1/Thruk/archive/v2.44.1.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf v2.44.1.tar.gz
To install Thruk, follow these steps:
Navigate to the extracted directory of Thruk:
cd Thruk-2.44.1/
Run the following commands to configure and install Thruk:
sudo ./configure --with-httpd=apache
sudo make
sudo make install
Note: If you want to use Nginx instead of Apache, replace --with-httpd=apache with --with-httpd=nginx.
After the installation, you can start the Thruk service by running:
sudo systemctl start thruk
And enable it so it starts automatically upon reboot:
sudo systemctl enable thruk
After installing Thruk, you can access the web interface by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost/thruk/
Or, if you're accessing the server remotely, use the server's IP address or hostname instead of "localhost".
You have successfully installed Thruk on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use Thruk to monitor your Naemon, Nagios, Icinga, or Shinken installation.
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!
