Kibana is a data visualization tool that enables users to visualize data from Elasticsearch in the form of graphics and charts. This guide explains how to install Kibana on FreeBSD Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Kibana requires Java to be installed on the system. Install Java using the following command:
sudo pkg install openjdk8
Go to the Kibana download page and download the latest version of Kibana for FreeBSD.
Extract the downloaded file using the following command:
tar -xvzf kibana-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Note: Replace <version> with the actual version number of Kibana that you downloaded.
Move the extracted directory to /usr/local/share/ using the following command:
sudo mv kibana-<version>-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/kibana
Create a symbolic link for Kibana using the following command:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/kibana/bin/kibana /usr/local/bin/kibana
Open the kibana.yml configuration file using a text editor:
sudo nano /usr/local/share/kibana/config/kibana.yml
Locate the following line in the file and update the value to your Elasticsearch server's hostname or IP address:
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter.
Start the Kibana service using the following command:
sudo kibana
Open a web browser and type in the following URL:
http://localhost:5601
You should now see the Kibana login screen. Enter your credentials to access the Kibana dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kibana on FreeBSD Latest.
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!
