Kerberos.io is an open-source video surveillance software that can be used on Linux, Windows, and macOS. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Kerberos.io on Elementary OS Latest. Follow the steps below to install Kerberos.io on your system.
Before installing Kerberos.io, you need to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git curl nginx php7.4-fpm php7.4-mysql php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml php7.4-zip php7.4-curl php7.4-gd imagemagick
After installing the dependencies, you can now download and install the latest version of Kerberos.io on your system by running the following commands:
sudo su
cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/kerberos-io/web.git kerberos
cd kerberos
Now, you can update the dependencies by running the following commands:
composer update
npm install
npm run production
Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve the Kerberos.io site. Open the Nginx configuration file with your text editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Replace the default configuration in the file with the following settings:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/kerberos;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name domain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
}
Save and exit the file.
Then, run the following command to check the Nginx configuration:
sudo nginx -t
If you see no errors, restart Nginx with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Before we can start with Kerberos.io, we need to install and configure MySQL. Install MySQL with the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Then, run the following command to secure your MySQL installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Answer the prompts according to your preferences.
Next, we need to create a new MySQL user and database for Kerberos.io. Connect to the MySQL server with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Then, create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE kerberos;
CREATE USER 'kerberos'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kerberos.* TO 'kerberos'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Make sure to replace password with a strong password.
Now you are ready to finish the installation of Kerberos.io. Open your browser and go to http://your-server-ip. You should see the Kerberos.io setup wizard.
Follow the instructions on the wizard to complete the installation. You will need to provide the MySQL database name, username, password, and server details.
Once you have completed the installation, you can go to http://your-server-ip/monitoring to view the Kerberos.io dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kerberos.io on Elementary OS Latest.
