Before installing any new packages, it is recommended to update your system to the latest available packages. To update your system, open a terminal and type the following command:

You can download the latest version of StatPing.ng from their official website or GitHub repository. In this tutorial, we will download the archive from GitHub:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/statping-ng/statping-ng/releases/download/v0.0.2/statping_ng_v0.0.2_linux_amd64.zip
After downloading StatPing.ng, extract the archive using the following command:
unzip statping_ng_v0.0.2_linux_amd64.zip
Now, move the extracted files to the nginx root directory using the following command:
sudo mv statping_ng_v0.0.2_linux_amd64/* /var/www/html/

Now, configure nginx to serve the StatPing.ng web interface. Open a new file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/statping
Copy and Paste the following code:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain_or_IP_address;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}
}
replace your_domain_or_IP_address with the domain name or IP address that you want to use for StatPing.ng.
