This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Scrutiny on OpenBSD using the command line interface. Scrutiny is a tool that helps you monitor the health of your hard drives.
Before we get started, make sure your OpenBSD system is up-to-date and has the following dependencies installed:
gitgosmartmontoolsYou can install these dependencies using the following command:
doas pkg_add git go smartmontools
First, we need to clone the Scrutiny repository from GitHub. We will use git to do this. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny.git ~/scrutiny
This will download the Scrutiny repository and save it in your home directory under the scrutiny folder.
Next, we need to build Scrutiny using go. Change your current directory to the scrutiny folder by running:
cd ~/scrutiny
Now, run the following command to build Scrutiny:
go build .
This command will build Scrutiny and create an executable file named scrutiny.
To install Scrutiny on OpenBSD, we need to move the executable file to the /usr/local/bin directory. Run the following command to move the scrutiny file to the correct location:
doas mv ~/scrutiny/scrutiny /usr/local/bin/
This will move the scrutiny file to /usr/local/bin/ which is included in the system's PATH. Now, Scrutiny is ready to use!
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Scrutiny on OpenBSD. We cloned the repository, built Scrutiny using go, and installed the executable file in the correct location. Now, you can run scrutiny --help to see the available options and start monitoring the health of your hard drives.
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!
