Thingsboard is an open-source IoT platform that allows users to monitor and manage connected devices. It offers a variety of functionalities such as data visualization, device management, and remote control. In this tutorial, we will be installing Thingsboard on Manjaro.
Before starting with the installation, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install Java on your system. You can install Java by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless
This will install the Java 8 runtime environment.
To download Thingsboard, go to the official website at https://thingsboard.io/ and click on the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate package for your system (in our case, the Linux package).
Alternatively, you can download Thingsboard using the following command in your terminal:
wget https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/releases/download/v3.2.2/thingsboard-3.2.2-1pe.noarch.rpm
Once you have downloaded the Thingsboard package, navigate to the folder where it is located and run the following command:
sudo pacman -U thingsboard-3.2.2-1pe.noarch.rpm
This will install Thingsboard on your system.
To start Thingsboard, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo systemctl start thingsboard
You can also enable Thingsboard to start automatically at system startup by running the following command:
sudo systemctl enable thingsboard
Once Thingsboard is running, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080. You should see the Thingsboard login page.
Use the default username and password (i.e., "sysadmin" and "sysadmin") to log in.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and start Thingsboard on Manjaro. We also learned how to access the Thingsboard dashboard. With Thingsboard, you can easily manage and monitor your IoT devices.
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!
