Dashboard is a lightweight web monitoring tool that helps in keeping an eye on web services and monitoring system resources. This tutorial will guide you through the steps for installing Dashboard on OpenBSD.
Before beginning the installation process, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
Start by updating the packages on your OpenBSD machine using the following command:
sudo pkg_add -u
This update command updates the installed packages to their latest version.
The next step is to install Golang, a programming language that is required for building and running Dashboard. You can install Golang using the following command:
sudo pkg_add go
To clone the Dashboard repository, use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git
This command clones the Dashboard repository to your current directory.
Now that you've cloned the Dashboard repository, navigate to the Dashboard's root directory and build the program with the following command:
cd dashboard
go build
This command compiles the source code and creates an executable binary file in the same directory.
To start Dashboard, use the following command:
./dashboard
This command runs the compiled binary of Dashboard, which starts the server at the default port number 3000. You can access the Dashboard in your web browser by navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:3000
In this tutorial, we covered the steps for installing Dashboard on OpenBSD. Remember, you can customize Dashboard to suit your monitoring needs by updating the configuration settings or by adding new plugins. Enjoy using Dashboard!
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!
