cState is an open-source server monitoring tool that provides a simple and easy-to-use web interface for real-time monitoring of your servers. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install cState on Linux Mint latest version.
Before continuing with this guide, it is assumed that you have:
cState requires Python 3 to be installed on your system. To install Python3, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3
Next, we need to install git and pip package manager, which are needed to download and install cState. You can do this with the following command:
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip
To install cState on your Linux Mint system, execute the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/cstate/cstate.git
cd ./cstate
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
To start cState with your preferred configuration, run the following command:
sudo python3 ./cstate.py
By default, cState will listen on port 8000. You can verify that it is running by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your_server_ip:8000.
To customize your cState installation, create a config.yml file in the cstate directory, and add the desired settings. You can find a sample configuration file in the cstate folder, named config.sample.yml.
You can also customize cState's runtime settings by editing the settings.py file. For example, to change the listening port to 8080, edit the following line:
PORT = 8000
to:
PORT = 8080
You have successfully installed and configured cState on your Linux Mint system! With cState, you can monitor your servers in real-time, and quickly detect any issues that may arise.
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!
