Bloonix is an open-source network and system monitoring solution that allows you to monitor your network infrastructure, servers and applications in real-time. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bloonix on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we can start with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met:
Before installing any package, it is recommended to update the system packages to their latest versions. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo pacman -Syu
Bloonix requires some dependencies to be installed on the system before its installation. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git libconfig libxml2 libevent sqlite3 json-c cronie gcc make mariadb mariadb-clients mariadb-libs
To install Bloonix, We will need to clone the installation repository from GitHub. Run the following commands to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/bloonix/bloonix.git
cd bloonix/build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
This will install Bloonix on your system.
Configure Bloonix by editing the configuration file. Run the following command to create a copy of the configuration file:
cd /usr/local/etc/bloonix
sudo cp bloonix.cfg.example bloonix.cfg
After making a copy, open the configuration file using any text editor. In this tutorial, we will use Nano:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/bloonix/bloonix.cfg
Review and modify the settings as per your requirements.
To set up the Bloonix database, run the following commands:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE bloonix;"
sudo mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL ON bloonix.* TO 'bloonix_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';"
Make sure to replace password with a strong password of your choice.
Now that we have installed and configured Bloonix, we can start its services. Use the following command to start the Bloonix services:
sudo systemctl start bloonix bloonix-web bloonix-engine bloonix-server
sudo systemctl enable bloonix bloonix-web bloonix-engine bloonix-server
We have successfully installed and configured Bloonix on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now log in to the Bloonix web-based interface to start monitoring your servers and applications. If you face any issues during installation, refer to the official Bloonix documentation for further guidance.
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!
