Installing Adagios on MXLinux

Adagios is a web-based interface for Nagios, a popular network monitoring tool. It helps simplify the process of setting up and managing Nagios, and provides a more user-friendly interface for network administrators. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Adagios on MXLinux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A working installation of MXLinux
• Root user or superuser access to the system
• A stable internet connection to download packages

Step 1: Update the System

Ensure that your system is up to date with the latest packages and security patches by running the following commands in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Adagios is written in Python and requires several Python packages to be installed. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libapache2-mod-wsgi

Step 3: Install Adagios

To install Adagios, follow the steps below:

1. Download and install the GPG key for the Adagios repository by running the following command:

   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6B90DDEF1D94EE69
   

2. Add the Adagios repository to the list of sources by creating a new file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adagios.list with the following content:

   deb http://apt.adagios.org/ stable main
   

3. Update the package lists and install Adagios by running the following commands:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y adagios
   

Step 4: Configure Adagios

The Adagios configuration file is located at /etc/adagios/adagios.conf. Before you can login to the web interface, you need to configure the administrator username and password by running the following command:

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/adagios/htpasswd adagiosadmin

You will be prompted to enter a password for the administrator. After you have configured this, restart the Apache server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Access Adagios

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/adagios. You should now see the Adagios login page. Log in using the administrator username and password you configured earlier.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Adagios on MXLinux. You can now use it to monitor your network and maintain your Nagios installation.

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!
