DashDot is an open-source dashboard application developed using React, Node.js, and MongoDB. It allows users to create and customize dashboards for displaying real-time data.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing DashDot on Debian Latest.
Before we begin with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
To install DashDot, we need to start by cloning the project's repository from GitHub. Follow these steps to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/MauriceNino/dashdot.git
When the repository is cloned, navigate to the project's directory using the following command:
cd dashdot
Next, install the Node.js modules required by DashDot by running the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies that DashDot requires to run.
Before starting the application, we need to configure the settings. Create a new file called .env in the project's root directory, and add the following environment variables:
PORT=5000
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/dashdot
The PORT variable specifies the port where the application will run, and the MONGODB_URI variable specifies the URI of the MongoDB database that the application will use.
The final step is to start the application. Run the following command to start the application:
npm start
This command will start the server, and you should see the following message in your terminal:
Server listening on port 5000
You have successfully installed DashDot on Debian Latest! With this application, you can now create visual dashboards for displaying real-time 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!
