In this tutorial, we'll cover the steps required to install Chartbrew on Debian Latest. Chartbrew is an open-source tool used for creating and managing business dashboards. Prerequisites include:
The first step towards installing Chartbrew is to install Node.js and npm on your Debian server. This can be done by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
The above command will install both Node.js and npm on your system.
The next step is to install MongoDB on your Debian server. You can do this by running the following commands:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/4.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
After installation, start the MongoDB service and enable it so it runs on boot:
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod
With MongoDB and Node.js installed and running, the next step is to install Chartbrew. This can be done by running the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git
cd chartbrew
npm install
Once you've installed Chartbrew, you need to configure it. Rename the .env.sample file to .env and modify the values to match your setup.
cp .env.sample .env
nano .env
Update the following values in the .env file:
BASE_URI: Set to your domain.MONGO_URL: MongoDB connection string.JWT_SECRET: Set to a random string.SSL_KEY and SSL_CERT: Set to the paths to your SSL key and certificate files if you are running HTTPS.After completing Step 4, you can start Chartbrew by running the following command in the Chartbrew directory:
npm run start
This will start the Chartbrew server on port 3000 (you can specify a different port in the .env file).
With the above steps, you should have successfully installed Chartbrew on your Debian Latest Server. You can now create and manage business dashboards using Chartbrew.
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!
