Vigil is an open-source server monitoring solution written in Rust. It is a simple, easy-to-use, and highly customizable tool that helps you monitor your server's uptime, resources, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Vigil on OpenSUSE latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
If you have not already done so, you need to install the Docker engine on your server. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install docker
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Docker daemon by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
You can also enable Docker to start at boot time by running the following command:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Verify that Docker is installed and running correctly by running the following command:
sudo docker info
After Docker is installed, you can now install Vigil using the official Docker image from Docker Hub. Run the following command to download and start the Vigil container:
sudo docker run -d --restart=always --name=vigil \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /var/lib/vigil:/etc/vigil \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
loadaverage/vigil-server:latest
This command will download the latest version of the Vigil Docker image and start a new container in the background. The -d flag instructs Docker to run the container in detached mode, while the --restart=always flag ensures that the container restarts automatically if it crashes or the host machine is rebooted.
The -p flag maps port 8080 of the container to port 8080 of the host machine, allowing you to access the Vigil web interface from your browser. The -v flags map two volumes to the container:
/var/lib/vigil is mapped to /etc/vigil within the container, storing the Vigil configuration files./var/run/docker.sock is mapped to /var/run/docker.sock within the container, allowing Vigil to monitor the Docker engine running on the host machine.Once the Vigil container is running, you can open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 or http://<your-server-ip>:8080 to access the Vigil web interface. You should see the Vigil login page.
Enter the default username (admin) and password (vigil) to log in. You will be taken to the Vigil dashboard, where you can start monitoring your servers.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vigil on OpenSUSE latest.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Vigil on OpenSUSE latest using Docker. Vigil is a powerful monitoring tool that helps you keep track of your server's performance and uptime. By following the steps in this tutorial, you can quickly set up Vigil and start monitoring your servers with ease.
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!
