Dashdot is a web-based monitoring tool that provides a clear and detailed view of your system's performance. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Dashdot on MXLinux Latest.
Dashdot is built using Node.js, so the first step is installing Node.js on your system. MXLinux Latest comes with the latest version of Node.js pre-installed, but we need to install the development headers and tools as well.
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev
Now, let's verify that Node.js is installed correctly. Run the following command:
node -v
If Node.js is installed, you should see a version number printed to the console.
Next, we need to clone Dashdot from GitHub. Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MauriceNino/dashdot.git
This will create a new directory called dashdot in your current working directory.
Dashdot has several dependencies that we need to install. Navigate to the dashdot directory and run the following command:
npm install
This will install all of Dashdot's dependencies.
Now that we have all of Dashdot's dependencies installed, we can start the application.
Run the following command to start Dashdot:
npm start
This will start a local development server on port 3000.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should now see the Dashdot application running.
In this tutorial, we installed Dashdot on MXLinux Latest. We used Node.js to build and run the application, cloned the Dashdot repository from GitHub, installed all of the dependencies, and started the application. Now that you have Dashdot up and running, you can use it to monitor your system's performance.
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!
