Linux Dash is a web-based dashboard for monitoring Linux servers. It provides an overview of the system's performance, network usage, disk usage, and much more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Linux Dash on your Arch Linux system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the Apache web server and PHP. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache
This command will install Apache web server and PHP on your system.
Next, we need to install Git, which is a version control system that Linux Dash uses to manage its source code. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Now that we have installed Git, we can clone the Linux Dash repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
This command will download the Linux Dash repository to your current working directory.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the Linux Dash directory and copy the following files:
cd linux-dash
sudo cp -R . /srv/http/
This will copy the Linux Dash files to the Apache web server's default document root directory.
To ensure that Linux Dash can access the necessary files and directories, we need to set the correct permissions. To do this, run the following command:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http
This command will set the ownership of the Linux Dash files to the http user and the http group.
If you have a firewall enabled on your system, you need to allow HTTP traffic to access the Linux Dash dashboard. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo ufw allow http
sudo systemctl enable ufw.service
sudo systemctl start ufw.service
This will allow HTTP traffic to access the Linux Dash dashboard and enable the firewall service.
Now that we have installed and configured Linux Dash, you can access it by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost/linux-dash/
You should now see the Linux Dash dashboard, which provides an overview of your system's performance and resource utilization.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Linux Dash on your Arch Linux system. Linux Dash is a powerful tool that can help you monitor your system's performance and resource utilization in real-time. With just a few simple steps, you can have Linux Dash up and running on your Arch Linux system.
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!
