pyDash is a lightweight web-based dashboard tool used for monitoring various system metrics. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install pyDash on FreeBSD.
Before you can begin this tutorial, ensure the following prerequisites are in place:
First, update your FreeBSD packages to the most recent versions:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
After updating FreeBSD, proceed to install pyDash on your FreeBSD system via pip3 package installer as follows:
sudo pip3 install pydash
If you don't have pip3 installed, run the following command:
sudo pkg install py36-pip
Once pyDash installation is successful, run the following commands to start pyDash on your FreeBSD Latest system:
sudo pydash run
This will start the pyDash server on your FreeBSD server. By default, pyDash runs on port 5000, so you can browse to the following link to access the pyDash web interface:
http://your_server_ip_address:5000/
You can also specify a custom port number when starting pyDash by passing the --port flag followed by the desired port number, like:
sudo pydash run --port 8080
Now you can browse to http://your_server_ip_address:8080/ to access your pyDash web interface.
To terminate pyDash, use the following command:
sudo pkill -f pydash
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed pyDash on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use pyDash to track and monitor system performance metrics in real-time.
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!
