Octopussy is an open source system and network monitoring tool that is designed to simplify network management by consolidating data from multiple sources into a single web-based interface. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you through the process of installing Octopussy on Ubuntu Server.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Firstly, update your system by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
This will ensure that all packages installed on the system are up to date.
Octopussy requires a number of packages for its proper functioning. Install these packages using the following command:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ php-xml lynx whois snmp nmap smbclient fping tcpdump unzip -y
Download the latest version of Octopussy from the official website using the following command:
sudo wget http://www.octopussy.pm/octopussy_latest.tar.gz
Next, extract the Octopussy archive:
sudo tar -zxvf octopussy_latest.tar.gz
Change to the newly created directory:
cd octopussy
Run the Octopussy installation script:
sudo ./install_octopussy.sh
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, Octopussy will be accessible through a web interface. To access the web interface, open a web browser and enter the server IP address followed by port 8000:
http://<server-ip>:8000
That’s it! You have successfully installed Octopussy on your Ubuntu server. You can now use it to monitor your network and streamline your network management tasks.
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!
