Vigil is a lightweight and flexible monitoring tool that can be used for various monitoring purposes. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Vigil Server on FreeBSD Latest.
The first step is to install Rust programming language, which is required to build Vigil from source.
Run the following command to install Rustup, the Rust installer:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
After the installation is complete, open a new terminal, and run the following command to confirm that Rust is installed:
rustc --version
You should see the version of Rust installed on your system.
Run the following command to install the Vigil Server package from the Crates repository:
cargo install vigil-server
Wait for the installation to complete. Once the installation is complete, you will see a success message on the terminal.
Create a new configuration file for Vigil Server by running the following command:
sudo mkdir /etc/vigil
sudo nano /etc/vigil/config.toml
Paste the following configuration into the file:
[http]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = "3000"
[email]
enabled = false
[database]
path = "/var/lib/vigil/database.db"
[[service]]
name = "tutorial-service"
url = "http://localhost:8080"
interval = 10
timeout = 5
threshold = 3
Press Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter to save and close the file.
Run the following command to start Vigil Server:
vigil-server
After the command is executed, the Vigil Server is started, and you can access it by going to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vigil Server on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Vigil to monitor your services and applications.
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!
