Scrutiny is an open-source dashboard for monitoring your network and system resources. It is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, and other platforms. This tutorial will cover the installation process for Scrutiny on Linux Mint.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, open the terminal on your Linux Mint machine and run the following command to update the system and install dependencies:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git curl libssl-dev libudev-dev build-essential python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv
Now, we will clone the Scrutiny repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny.git
To isolate Scrutiny dependencies, it is best to create a Python virtual environment. Enter the following command in the terminal:
cd scrutiny
python3 -m venv env
Before we can install the Scrutiny dependencies, we need to activate the virtual environment. To do that, run the following command:
source env/bin/activate
We will now install the dependencies required by Scrutiny using the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Finally, we can start Scrutiny by entering the following command in the terminal:
python3 scrutiny.py
This will start the Scrutiny dashboard on your machine, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Scrutiny on Linux Mint. By following the above steps, you can easily deploy Scrutiny on your system and start monitoring your network resources.
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!
