How to Install Dashdot on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Dashdot is an open-source dashboard for displaying metrics and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Dashdot on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of the Fedora CoreOS Latest.
• Access to the internet to download the required packages.
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands and shell scripting.

Step 1: Install Git

The first step is to install Git, which is a version control system that you can use to download the latest version of Dashdot from GitHub. To install Git, use the following command:

sudo dnf install git

Step 2: Clone the Dashdot Repository

Next, you need to clone the Dashdot repository from GitHub using Git. To clone the repository, use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/MauriceNino/dashdot.git

Step 3: Install Docker

Dashdot uses Docker to run Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager in separate containers. Therefore, you need to install Docker on your system. To install Docker, use the following command:

sudo dnf install docker

Before you start using Docker, you need to start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

You can also enable the Docker service to start automatically at boot time using the following command:

sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 4: Build and Run the Dashdot Docker Image

The next step is to build and run the Dashdot Docker image using the Dockerfile provided in the Dashdot repository. To build the Docker image, navigate to the root directory of the Dashdot repository and run the following command:

sudo docker build -t dashdot .

Once the image is built successfully, you can start the containers using the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command starts the Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager containers in daemon mode.

Step 5: Access the Dashdot Dashboard

Finally, access the Dashdot dashboard by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS Latest server followed by port 3000 (e.g., http://<server-ip>:3000). The default login credentials for Grafana are admin/admin.

Conclusion

In summary, this tutorial has demonstrated how to install Dashdot on Fedora CoreOS Latest. By following the above steps, you can easily deploy a fully functional dashboard that displays metrics and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager.
