Linux Dash is a free and open-source web-based dashboard for monitoring and managing Linux servers. It presents the server statistics in an easy-to-understand format, and it can monitor multiple servers at once. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Linux Dash on OpenSUSE.
Before we start, ensure that you have a running instance of OpenSUSE, and that you have root access to the system.
The first step is to install the required dependencies for Linux Dash to function correctly. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install php php-mbstring php-simplexml php-pdo php-gd
This command will install the required PHP modules for Linux Dash.
Next, we need to clone the Linux Dash GitHub repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
This command will clone the Linux Dash repository into the current directory.
Now, we need to move the Linux Dash folder to the webroot directory, which can typically be found at /srv/www/htdocs/:
sudo cp -r linux-dash /srv/www/htdocs/
After the copy completes, Linux Dash is ready to use.
To access Linux Dash, open a web browser and go to the following URL:
http://localhost/linux-dash
If you want to access the dashboard on another computer on the same network, replace localhost with the IP address of the OpenSUSE system.
In this tutorial, we covered how to install Linux Dash on OpenSUSE. The process is relatively simple, and once installed, Linux Dash provides a neat and intuitive dashboard for monitoring server statistics.
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!
