Kibana is a web application that provides UI for Elasticsearch, a search and analytics engine. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Kibana on Elementary OS.
Before we start the installation process for Kibana, make sure that your Elementary OS system meets the following requirements:
Firstly, download the latest version of Kibana from the official website of Elastic.
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.15.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Once the downloading process is completed, extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
tar -zxvf kibana-7.15.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Next, open the Kibana root directory and locate and edit the kibana.yml configuration file.
cd kibana-7.15.1-linux-x86_64/
nano config/kibana.yml
In the kibana.yml file, modify the server.host parameter's value to "0.0.0.0".
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
Save and exit the file.
After completing the configuration changes, start Kibana using the following command:
./bin/kibana
You can access Kibana by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<your server IP>:5601.
Note: If you're running Kibana on a local machine that you want to access through a web browser, use http://localhost:5601.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kibana on your Elementary OS system. Now you can use Kibana to interact with Elasticsearch and create visualizations to analyze 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!
