Vigil is a rust-based application monitoring tool that helps you keep an eye on the health of your servers and applications. In this tutorial, we will take a step-by-step approach to demonstrate how to install Vigil on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we install Vigil, it is essential to update the operating system's package repository. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf update
Supply your password when prompted, and wait for the package repository to update.
Vigil is developed in Rust language. Therefore, we need to install the latest version of Rust to get all the necessary runtime dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal to install Rust:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Follow the installation wizard by pressing 1 and Enter to proceed with the installation.
Once installed, check if Rust is working correctly by running the following command:
rustc --version
This should print the Rust version on your terminal.
Now that we have Rust installed let's proceed with the installation of Vigil. Run the following command to install the Vigil server latest version from the crates.io package registry:
cargo install vigil-server
This will download and compile the Vigil source code from the crates.io registry.
Once we have installed Vigil, we can now launch the application by running the following command:
vigil-server
After running this command, Vigil should start running in the terminal's foreground.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Vigil on Fedora Server Latest, and you can now use it to continuously monitor your applications' health. You can customize Vigil to your liking by passing command-line arguments, as detailed in the Vigil documentation.
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!
