In this tutorial, we will be installing Cadvisor from cadvisor">https://github.com/google/cadvisor on Elementary OS.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Cadvisor is distributed as a Docker container, so we need to install Docker first. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
After the installation, start the Docker service and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Verify that Docker is installed and running by running the command:
sudo docker info
Now that we have Docker installed, we can proceed with installing Cadvisor. Run the following command to pull the latest container image:
sudo docker pull google/cadvisor
Once the image is downloaded, start the Cadvisor container with the following command:
sudo docker run \
--volume=/:/rootfs:ro \
--volume=/var/run:/var/run:ro \
--volume=/sys:/sys:ro \
--volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:ro \
--publish=8080:8080 \
--detach=true \
--name=cadvisor \
google/cadvisor:latest
This will start the Cadvisor container in detached mode and expose port 8080.
You can now access the Cadvisor Web UI by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
If you want to access Cadvisor remotely, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of your Elementary OS machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cadvisor on Elementary OS Latest.
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!
