How to Install Bloonix on Fedora CoreOS

This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Bloonix monitoring system on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Bloonix is an open-source monitoring system that can be used to monitor servers, applications, network devices, and more. Fedora CoreOS is an operating system designed for running containerized applications and services.

Prerequisites

Before you begin with the installation, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

Step 1: Install Docker

Bloonix runs in a Docker container, so you need to install Docker on your Fedora CoreOS machine. To install Docker, run the following command:

sudo dnf install docker

After installing Docker, start the Docker service with the following command:

sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker

Step 2: Download and Start Bloonix Container

To download the Bloonix Docker container image, run the following command:

sudo docker pull registry.gitlab.com/bloonix/bloonix:<VERSION>

Replace <VERSION> with the version of Bloonix you want to install. You can check the latest version of Bloonix on the official website.

Once the image is downloaded, start the Bloonix container with the following command:

sudo docker run -d --name bloonix -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 8080:80 registry.gitlab.com/bloonix/bloonix:<VERSION>

Again, replace <VERSION> with the version of Bloonix you want to install.

The -d flag runs the container in the background, --name assigns a name to the container, -v mounts the host's localtime to the container, -p maps the container's port 80 to the host's port 8080.

Step 3: Access Bloonix Web Interface

The Bloonix web interface is accessible at http://localhost:8080 if you are accessing it from the same machine where the container is running. If you want to access the web interface from a different machine, you need to replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of the machine where the container is running.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Bloonix on Fedora CoreOS using Docker. You can now start monitoring your servers, applications, and network devices using the Bloonix web interface.

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!
