This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Octopussy on Elementary OS Latest.
Octopussy is a network and systems monitoring tool that allows you to monitor multiple devices and services on your network. It is an open-source software that is easily installable on most Linux distributions.
Before installing Octopussy, we need to install the required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 php php-mysql php-curl php-ldap php-intl graphviz php-mbstring
This will install Apache web server and required PHP extensions.
Next, we need to download and extract Octopussy. Go to the Octopussy website and download the latest version of Octopussy.
Once downloaded, extract the file to any desired location on your system.
Octopussy requires Apache web server to run. So, we need to configure Apache to run Octopussy.
Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/octopussy.conf
This will open a new file in the nano editor. Enter the following code into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName octopussy.local
ServerAlias www.octopussy.local
DocumentRoot /path/to/extracted/folder/www
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory /path/to/extracted/folder/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace /path/to/extracted/folder with the path where you extracted Octopussy.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter.
Next, enable the octopussy.conf file by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite octopussy.conf
Finally, restart Apache by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now, we are ready to install Octopussy. Open the terminal and navigate to the extracted folder by running the following command:
cd /path/to/extracted/folder
Then, run the following command to start the installation process:
sudo ./install.sh
Follow the instructions on screen and provide the required information to complete the installation process.
Once the installation process is complete, Octopussy should be accessible by navigating to http://octopussy.local in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Octopussy on your Elementary OS Latest system!
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!
