How to Install Cabot on Fedora Server Latest

Cabot is an open-source software that allows you to monitor your website and server services. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Cabot on your Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora Server Latest instance
• Root access (or sudo privileges)

Step 1: Update the OS

Before installing any new software, it is essential to update the packages and software of the operating system. You can do so by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Python

Cabot is a Python application, and you need to have Python installed on your system. Run the following command to install Python:

sudo dnf install python3

Step 3: Install PostgreSQL

Cabot requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. Install PostgreSQL with the following command:

sudo dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib

After installation, initialize the PostgreSQL database:

sudo postgresql-setup initdb

Step 4: Install Cabot

Install Cabot by running the following command:

sudo dnf install https://github.com/arachnys/cabot/releases/download/v0.11.12/cabot-0.11.12-1.fc34.noarch.rpm

Step 5: Configure PostgreSQL

Create a PostgreSQL user for Cabot with the following command, replacing password with a secure password:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P cabot

Create a PostgreSQL database for Cabot with the following command:

sudo -u postgres createdb -O cabot cabot

Step 6: Configure Cabot

Configure Cabot by changing the values in the conf/production.env file. Open the file with your text editor, and make the following changes:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://cabot:password@localhost:5432/cabot
ALLOWED_HOSTS=['your-server-domain.com']
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST=True
SECRET_KEY='your-secret-key'

Replace password with the password you set for the PostgreSQL user, your-server-domain.com with your server's domain name, and your-secret-key with a long and random string.

Step 7: Run Cabot

Start Cabot with the following command:

sudo systemctl start cabot

Enable Cabot to start automatically on system boot with the following command:

sudo systemctl enable cabot

Step 8: Access Cabot

By default, Cabot listens on port 5000. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:5000. You should see the Cabot web interface.
