Octopussy is an open-source and web-based log analyzer tool that helps in managing system events, logs, and alerts. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Octopussy on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, you will need:
First, ensure that your system packages are up-to-date. Run the following commands to update your system:
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update
Octopussy requires Apache, PHP, and MySQL/MariaDB to function. Install the following packages:
sudo dnf install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring php-json php-curl
After installing MariaDB, configure it by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
During the installation, set a password for MariaDB and answer the other prompts according to your requirements.
Create a new database for Octopussy by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -uroot -p
CREATE DATABASE octopussy_db;
GRANT ALL ON octopussy_db.* TO 'octopussy_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Remember to replace "your_password_here" with a strong and unique password.
Download the latest stable version of Octopussy from www.octopussy.pm and extract it to the Apache webroot.
wget https://github.com/sebthebert/Octopussy/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf v1.0.4.tar.gz
sudo mv Octopussy-1.0.4 /var/www/html/octopussy
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/octopussy
Copy the sample configuration file and edit the necessary values to match your system:
cd /var/www/html/octopussy/etc
cp octopussy.conf.sample octopussy.conf
sudo nano octopussy.conf
Update the following configuration settings according to your system:
# Set base URL, without trailing slash
# For HTTPS, replace "http" with "https"
# Example: https://log.example.com
base_url = http://localhost/octopussy
# Database configuration
database_type = mysqli
database_host = localhost
database_name = octopussy_db
database_user = octopussy_user
database_pass = your_password_here
Start the Apache and Octopussy services by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start octopussy
sudo systemctl enable octopussy
You can now access the Octopussy dashboard by navigating to http://localhost/octopussy in your web browser.
Enter your desired username and password to create a new account and start using Octopussy.
In conclusion, you have successfully installed Octopussy on your Fedora Server Latest instance. We hope this tutorial has helped you.
