eZ Server Monitor is a tool used to monitor the status of different servers on a network. It provides a user-friendly interface to track the status of servers and provides notifications in case of downtime. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of eZ Server Monitor on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we start the installation process of eZ Server Monitor, we need to install some required dependencies. These dependencies can be installed using the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring -y
To download the latest version of eZ Server Monitor, we need to use the wget command. Run the following command to download eZ Server Monitor:
sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://www.ezservermonitor.com/esm-web/downloads/ezservermonitor-web_v3.3.0.zip
Once the download is complete, we need to extract the package using the following command:
sudo unzip ezservermonitor-web_v3.3.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
After the extraction process is complete, we need to rename the extracted folder to ezservermonitor.
sudo mv /var/www/html/ezservermonitor-web_v3.3.0 /var/www/html/ezservermonitor
The next step is to set the permissions of the eZ Server Monitor directory. Set the directory ownership to apache (which is the user under which the Apache web server runs) using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/ezservermonitor
By default, the Fedora CoreOS Latest comes with a firewall. To allow HTTP traffic to go through the firewall, we need to configure the firewall using the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
We need to check the apache configuration to ensure that eZ Server Monitor is accessible via the web browser. To verify that the Apache server is running, open your browser and navigate to the following address:
http://<your_Fedora_CoreOS_Latest_IP_address>/
If the page loads successfully, it means that Apache is running and configured correctly.
Now we need to configure eZ Server Monitor. Open the configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/ezservermonitor/includes/config.php
Configure the database settings as per your requirements. Enter the following details as appropriate:
$db['host'] = 'localhost';
$db['port'] = '';
$db['user'] = 'root';
$db['password'] = '';
$db['database'] = 'ezservermonitor';
Save and close the configuration file.
Now we can finalise the installation of eZ Server Monitor. Open a web browser and navigate to the following address:
http://<your_Fedora_CoreOS_Latest_IP_address>/ezservermonitor/
You should see the login screen for eZ Server Monitor. Use the default credentials to log in:
Username: admin
Password: admin
After you log in, change the default administrator credentials.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed eZ Server Monitor on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Now you can start monitoring the servers on your network.
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!
