Installing Kibana on Manjaro

Kibana is an open-source data visualization and exploration tool designed to work with Elasticsearch. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Kibana on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

• Manjaro Linux
• Java 8 or above installed on your Manjaro system
• Elasticsearch installed and running on your system

Step-by-step installation

1. Download Kibana package from the official website based on your system configuration. For Manjaro 64-bit, use the following command to download the package:

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

2. Next, extract the downloaded package using the following command:

tar -xvzf kibana-7.14.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

3. Now, change into the extracted package directory:

cd kibana-7.14.0-linux-x86_64

4. Open the config/kibana.yml file in your favorite text editor and update the following configuration option:

# Default Kibana configuration for Manjaro
server.port: 5601
server.host: "localhost"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]

5. Save the kibana.yml configuration file and exit the text editor.

6. Start the Kibana service using the following command:

bin/kibana

7. Once the service is started, you can access the Kibana dashboard by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5601.

Congratulations! You have now installed Kibana on your Manjaro system, and you can start exploring your Elasticsearch data with the help of the powerful data visualization and exploration features of Kibana.

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!
