Dashboard is a web-based dashboard application that allows you to monitor your system in real-time. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Dashboard on Void Linux.
Before you start installing Dashboard, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Git is a version control system that is required for cloning the Dashboard repository. To install Git, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install git
Enter your password when prompted to install Git.
Next, you need to clone the Dashboard repository from Github. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git
This command will create a new directory named "dashboard" containing all the necessary files for Dashboard.
Navigate to the "dashboard" directory using the terminal:
cd dashboard
Install the dependencies required for Dashboard using npm:
npm install
This command will download and install all the necessary dependencies for Dashboard.
Before running Dashboard, you need to configure it. Edit the configuration file located in the "config" directory:
nano config/default.yml
Update the configuration settings as per your requirement.
Once the configuration is done, you can start Dashboard using the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Dashboard application, and you can access it by opening the web browser and entering "http://localhost:3000" in the address bar.
You have successfully installed Dashboard on Void Linux. You can now monitor your system in real-time using the Dashboard application.
Note: By default, you can only access the Dashboard application on your local machine. To access it remotely, you need to configure your network settings accordingly.
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!
