Dashboard is an open-source web-based dashboard application that allows you to track and visualize data from various sources. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dashboard on Arch Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To download Dashboard from the GitHub repository, we need to install Git first. Run the following command in the terminal to install Git:
sudo pacman -S git
Once Git is installed, we can proceed with cloning the Dashboard repository. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the Dashboard files and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git
This will clone the Dashboard repository to your local system.
Dashboard requires some dependencies to work properly. To install them, navigate to the Dashboard directory and run the following command:
npm install
This will install all the necessary dependencies.
Next, we need to configure the environment variables. Copy the example configuration file and make the required changes:
cp .env.example .env
To build the Dashboard, run the following command:
npm run build
This will build the Dashboard and create a dist directory containing the compiled code.
Finally, we can start the Dashboard by running the following command:
npm start
This should start the Dashboard and make it accessible at http://localhost:3000.
In this tutorial, we explained how to install Dashboard on Arch Linux. Now you can start using this powerful tool to visualize and monitor your data from various sources.
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!
