Uptime Kuma is an open-source self-hosted monitoring solution that can be used to track the uptime and performance of your website, services, servers and databases. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Uptime Kuma on Alpine Linux Latest step by step.
Before we start with the installation process, it's essential to update your system packages to the latest version. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Next, we need to install the dependencies that are required to run Uptime Kuma. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apk add nodejs nodejs-npm git supervisor
Now, we need to clone the Uptime Kuma repository from Github. Run the following command in your terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Uptime Kuma directory:
cd uptime-kuma
Next, we need to install the required dependencies using npm:
npm install
Once the dependencies have been installed, we need to configure Uptime Kuma. Copy the sample configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
You can edit the .env file using your preferred text editor:
nano .env
Edit the following settings according to your system configuration:
APP_URL=http://yourdomain.com
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=uptimekuma
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Next, we need to create a database for Uptime Kuma. Run the following command in your terminal:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and run the following commands in the MySQL prompt:
CREATE DATABASE uptimekuma;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON uptimekuma.* TO 'uptimekuma'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Note: Replace password with your preferred password.
To start Uptime Kuma, run the following command in your terminal:
npm start
This will start the Uptime Kuma server on port 3000.
To keep the Uptime Kuma server running in the background, we will use Supervisor. Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/supervisord.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
[program:uptime-kuma]
command=npm start
directory=/path/to/uptime-kuma
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/uptime-kuma.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/uptime-kuma.out.log
Note: Replace /path/to/uptime-kuma with the path to your Uptime Kuma installation directory.
Save and close the file. Next, reload Supervisor:
sudo supervisorctl reload
Uptime Kuma is now installed and running. Access the web interface by visiting the following URL:
http://yourdomain.com:3000
If you did not configure a domain name, use the IP address of your server instead of yourdomain.com.
That's it! You have successfully installed Uptime Kuma on Alpine Linux Latest. You can use Uptime Kuma to monitor the uptime and performance of your website, services, servers and databases.
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!
