Grafana is a popular open-source platform used for data visualization and monitoring. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Grafana on Arch Linux.
Before installing Grafana, ensure that your system is updated by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install Grafana on Arch Linux, we will use the pacman package manager. Run the following command:
sudo pacman -S grafana
Once the installation is complete, start the Grafana service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start grafana-server
To enable the service to start automatically on boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
To verify that Grafana is installed correctly, run the following command:

This should display the status of the Grafana service as active and running.
Grafana web interface can be accessed on http://localhost:3000. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the URL. If you are running Grafana on a remote server, replace localhost with the server's IP address or domain name.
You should see the Grafana login page. The default login credentials are as follows:

In this tutorial, we have installed Grafana on Arch Linux, started and enabled the Grafana service, verified the installation, and accessed the Grafana web interface. With this information, you can start creating visualizations and monitoring your data.
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!
