Thruk is a web-based monitoring and system management tool that allows users to access the data of multiple monitoring systems through a unified and customizable interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Thruk on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for Thruk. Open a terminal and update the package manager using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache perl-libwww perl-term-readkey perl-yaml-tiny
To install Thruk, we need to add the Thruk repository to the system. Run the following commands to add the repository and import the GPG key:
sudo pacman-key --recv-keys F6A2D52E
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F6A2D52E
sudo echo -e "[thruk]\nServer = http://download.thruk.org/centos/$basearch/RPMS/" >> /etc/pacman.conf
Now, update the package manager again using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Finally, install Thruk by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S thruk
Thruk comes with Apache web server as the default web server. We need to configure Apache to allow access to Thruk web interface. Run the following command to modify the Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
LoadModule authz_core_module modules/mod_authz_core.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
<Directory "/usr/share/thruk/htdocs">
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file. Restart the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Thruk is now installed and configured on your EndeavourOS Latest system. You can access the Thruk web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost/thruk
You should see the Thruk login page. Enter the default username and password, which are admin and admin, respectively. Once you are logged in, you can configure the monitoring systems and customize the interface as needed.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Thruk on an EndeavourOS Latest system. With Thruk, you can easily monitor multiple systems through a unified and customizable interface.
