cState is a simple Python script that generates a static dashboard for monitoring ICMP ping response times and other metrics. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install cState on Arch Linux.
Before installing cState, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install Python and Pip, the package installer for Python. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python python-pip
cState requires several dependencies to be installed. These dependencies can be installed by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git curl iputils
Next, clone the cState repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/cDima/cstate.git
Change to the cstate directory with:
cd cstate/
Now that we have cloned the cState repository, we need to install the required Python packages. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Finally, start cState by running the following command:
python cstate.py
Once cState is running, you can access the dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install cState on Arch Linux. Once installed, you can use cState to monitor ICMP ping response times and other metrics in a simple, static dashboard.
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!
