Thruk is a web interface for monitoring and managing Icinga, Naemon, Nagios, and Shinken monitoring systems. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Thruk on Manjaro.
Before we start, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install all the required dependencies for Thruk. To do that, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S perl-net-snmp libdbi perl-dbd-mysql perl-time-hires perl-json-perl perl-digest-hmac perl-io-socket-ssl perl-crypt-des perl-compress-zlib perl-data-uuid perl-net-ldap perl-xml-libxml perl-file-slurp perl-mime-lite perl-crypt-openssl-x509 perl-authen-sasl perl-cache-cache perl-json
The next step is to clone the Thruk repository into our system. To do that, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/thruk/thruk.git
This will download the Thruk files into a directory named thruk.
Once we have cloned the Thruk repository, we can install it on our system using the following command:
cd thruk
sudo ./install.sh --local /opt/thruk
The --local parameter will install Thruk in the specified directory, which in this case is /opt/thruk. You can choose a different directory if you prefer.
To configure Apache to work with Thruk, we need to create a virtual host file. You can create a new file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/thruk.conf
In this file, add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your_domain.com # Change this to your domain name
DocumentRoot "/opt/thruk/html"
<Directory "/opt/thruk/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Next, we need to enable the new virtual host by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find the line that starts with Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and uncomment it by removing the # symbol at the beginning of the line.
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You can now access Thruk by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_domain.com/thruk. Replace your_domain.com with your own domain name or IP address if you don't have a domain name.
You should now be able to log in with the username admin and password admin.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Thruk on Manjaro. You can now use this powerful web interface to manage and monitor your monitoring systems.
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!
