Uptime Kuma is an open-source self-hosted monitoring tool. It is built using Node.js and Vue.js. In this tutorial, we will explore the process of installing Uptime Kuma on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure the following requirements are satisfied:
To start, log into your server or VPS with sudo privileges. Then, update the system to ensure all packages are up to date:
sudo pacman -Syyu
Next, install the required dependencies, including Git, Yarn, and PostgreSQL:
sudo pacman -S git yarn postgresql
With PostgreSQL installed, we need to create a new database and user. To do so, invoke psql as the postgres user:
sudo -i -u postgres
psql
Then, at the PostgreSQL command prompt, create a new user and database:
CREATE DATABASE uptime_kuma;
CREATE USER uptime_kuma WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE uptime_kuma TO uptime_kuma;
Finally, exit the PostgreSQL prompt:
\q
exit
With the dependencies installed and PostgreSQL configured, we can proceed to clone Uptime Kuma's repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git
Once the repository is cloned successfully, navigate into the created directory:
cd uptime-kuma
Then, proceed to install the project dependencies:
yarn
After installing project dependencies, we need to copy the sample configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
Then, edit the .env file to match the PostgreSQL user credentials and database we created earlier:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=uptime_kuma
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
DB_DATABASE=uptime_kuma
Once the configuration is done, we can build and start the Uptime Kuma application by running the following command:
yarn build && yarn start
By default, Uptime Kuma listens on port 3000. We can access the Uptime Kuma dashboard by visiting http://your_server_ip_address:3000.
And that's it! You have now successfully installed Uptime Kuma on your EndeavourOS 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!
