Bosun is a tool that helps monitor different aspects of your infrastructure, including metrics, events, and alerts. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Bosun on the latest version of Elementary OS.
Before installing Bosun, make sure that you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Bosun:
To add the Bosun repository to your system, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 6DDA23616E37F565
echo "deb https://packagecloud.io/tomwilkie/bosun/ubuntu/ bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bosun.list
Note: The above commands assume that you are running the Bionic release of Elementary OS. If you are running a different release, replace "bionic" with the name of your release wherever it appears in the commands.
Before installing Bosun, it is a good idea to update your system. Run the following command in your terminal to update your system:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Finally, to install Bosun, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y bosun
This will install Bosun on your system along with any necessary dependencies.
With Bosun now installed on your system, you can begin to use it to monitor different aspects of your infrastructure, including metrics, events, and alerts.
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!
