Kibitzr is an open-source tool that helps monitor websites and track changes. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Kibitzr on Ubuntu Server latest.
Before we begin, you must ensure that your server is up to date and contains the latest software packages. To do this, execute the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Kibitzr is written in Python, so we need to install it on our system. To do this, execute the following command:
sudo apt install python
Kibitzr relies on the Pip package manager for installing and managing its dependencies. Install it by executing the following command:
sudo apt install python-pip
Now that we have Python and Pip installed, we can proceed to install Kibitzr. We can install Kibitzr by running the following command:
sudo pip install kibitzr
After installation, we need to configure Kibitzr to start monitoring websites.
kibitzr in our home directory by executing the following command:mkdir ~/kibitzr
cd ~/kibitzr
kibitzr init
nano kibitzr.yml
Add the websites or URLs that you want to monitor, along with the desired interval and notification settings.
Once you've finished editing the file, save and close it.
To run Kibitzr, we need to use the following command:
kibitzr watch
This command will start Kibitzr and begin monitoring the websites we've added to our configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Kibitzr on your Ubuntu Server.
