This tutorial aims to guide you through the process of installing Checkmk on an Arch Linux system. Checkmk is a monitoring tool that helps you keep track of the status of your servers and applications.
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following:
Checkmk requires several packages and dependencies to be installed on your Arch Linux system.
To install them, open your terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-setuptools python-pygments numpy net-snmp sshpass rsync nmap
Now that the dependencies are installed, download the latest version of Checkmk from the official website. You can download the file using the following command:
wget https://checkmk.com/support/1.6.0p23/check-mk-raw-1.6.0p23_0.arch.rpm
Once the download is complete, install Checkmk by executing the following command:
sudo pacman -U check-mk-raw-1.6.0p23_0.arch.rpm
This will install Checkmk on your Arch Linux system.
After the installation, you can start Checkmk by executing the following command:
systemctl start checkmk
This will start the Checkmk service on your system.
To verify that Checkmk is running use the following command:
systemctl status checkmk
This command will display the status of the Checkmk service.
You can access the Checkmk web interface by pointing your browser to http://localhost/check_mk/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Checkmk on your Arch Linux system. You can now use it to monitor your servers and applications.
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!
