Cabot is a free, open-source, self-hosted infrastructure monitoring platform. It provides a web interface for monitoring your applications, services, and systems. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Cabot on EndeavourOS latest.
Before installing Cabot, we need to install some dependencies that will be required during the installation process. To do this run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S libffi libjpeg-turbo libxml2 libxslt libyaml postgresql redis supervisor
Clone the cabot git repository from https://github.com/cabotapp/cabot.git using git command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/cabotapp/cabot.git
Switch to the cabot directory:
cd cabot
Now we can install Cabot using pip. Run the following commands:
pip install virtualenv #install virtual environment
virtualenv -p python3 .cabotenv #create virtual environment
source .cabotenv/bin/activate #activate virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt #install cabot requirements
Before running Cabot, we need to create the PostgreSQL database and user. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo su - postgres
psql
create user cabot with password 'password';
create database cabot owner cabot;
Now we need to modify the config file by replacing DB_NAME, DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD in docker-compose.yml or docker-compose.dev.yml with the appropriate values:
environment:
- SECRET_KEY='ch4ngeth1s'
- DATABASE_URL='postgres://cabot:password@db:5432/cabotdb'
Once the database has been created and the configuration files have been modified, we can start Cabot. Run the following command in the cabot directory:
docker-compose up -d
The -d flag is used to start containers in the background.
Once the containers are up and running, you can access Cabot by navigating to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
You can now log in with the default username and password:
Username: admin
Password: password
In this tutorial, we have learnt how to install Cabot on EndeavourOS Latest. Cabot is a powerful monitoring platform that can help you keep track of all your important applications, services, and systems. Happy monitoring!
