Dashdot is an open-source dashboard and business intelligence platform that allows you to visualize data in various formats. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Dashdot on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by Dashdot. Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install nodejs npm git make curl gcc-c++
Next, you need to clone the Dashdot repository to your local system. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/MauriceNino/dashdot.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the project directory and install the dependencies using the following command:
cd dashdot
npm install
Before you can start using Dashdot, you need to configure it. To do this, open the .env file in the project directory using a text editor:
nano .env
In the file, define the following environment variables:
NODE_ENV=production
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=27017
DB_NAME=dashdot
SESSION_SECRET=your_secret_key_here
Save and close the file.
Now that you have configured Dashdot, you can start the server using the following command:
sudo npm start
The server will start running on port 8080. You can access the Dashdot dashboard by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Dashdot on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start using the dashboard to visualize your data. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, you can refer to the official Dashdot documentation for further assistance.
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!
