Eqivo is an open-source tool that can help you to monitor, analyze, and optimize your network traffic. Eqivo supports several protocols such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, and others. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Eqivo on Ubuntu Server.
Before installing any new package or software, it is recommended to update the system packages, run these commands to update the packages.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Eqivo requires some dependencies to be installed on the system. To install these dependencies, run the following command.
sudo apt install curl build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
Now, you can install Eqivo by using the following commands.
curl -sL https://deb.eqivo.org/public.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://deb.eqivo.org/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/eqivo.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install eqivo
After installing Eqivo, it needs to be configured to monitor network traffic. By default, Eqivo is configured to monitor all network traffic on the network interface. Eqivo configuration file is located at /etc/eqivo/eqivo.conf.
Open the Eqivo configuration file using any text editor.
sudo nano /etc/eqivo/eqivo.conf
In the configuration file, you can set the interface to be monitored, protocol, and other options. To monitor a specific interface, replace the any option with the interface name, for example, eth0.
INTERFACE=eth0
Uncomment the desired filter protocol configuration. For example, to filter only TCP packets.
FILTERPROTOCOL=tcp
Save the changes and close the configuration file.
After configuring Eqivo, start the Eqivo service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start eqivo
To check the status of Eqivo, you can run:
sudo systemctl status eqivo
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Eqivo on Ubuntu Server. We have also configured Eqivo and started the Eqivo service. Eqivo can help you to monitor your network traffic and analyze it effectively. You can use the documentation from https://eqivo.org/guide/ to explore more features and configurations of Eqivo.
