Facette is an open-source software that provides an easy and intuitive web interface for visualizing and analyzing time-series data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps needed to install Facette on Arch Linux.
Before starting, ensure that your Arch Linux system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install Facette, we need to ensure that its dependencies are installed on our system. We can do this using the following command:
sudo pacman -S git make golang
This command installs Git, Make, and Golang, which are required to fetch, build and run Facette on our system.
The next step is to clone the Facette repository using Git. Change to the directory where you want to install Facette and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/facette/facette.git
This command will create a directory named "facette" in the current working directory.
After cloning the Facette repository, we need to build the Facette binary using the following command:
cd facette && make
This command will fetch and install all the required dependencies and build the Facette binary.
Once the build is complete, we can run Facette using the following command:
./facette
By default, Facette listens on port 12003 on localhost. You can open a web browser and visit "http://localhost:12003" to access the Facette web interface.
Facette's default configuration stores its data in ~/.facette. You can change the configuration by editing the file "facette.toml" that is present in the ~/.facette directory.
You can also configure Facette to use a remote backend database, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Refer to the Facette documentation for more information on how to do this.
Facette is now installed and running on your Arch Linux system. You can now start visualizing and analyzing time-series data using this intuitive web interface. Happy monitoring!
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!
