Linux Dash is a versatile monitoring dashboard for Linux operating systems. It provides a web-based dashboard that displays the performance of various aspects of the system, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network activity, and more. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of installing the Linux Dash monitoring dashboard on a Void Linux system.
The first step in the installation of Linux Dash is to install the required dependencies. Open the terminal application and run the following command as the root user to install the dependencies:
xbps-install apache php php-json php-pdo php-pdo_sqlite
Next, we will download the Linux Dash package from the official GitHub repository. Run the following command to clone the repository to the local system:
git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git
Now, we will configure Apache to serve the Linux Dash application. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /linux-dash /path/to/linux-dash
<Directory /path/to/linux-dash>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Make sure to replace '/path/to/linux-dash' with the actual path to the downloaded Linux Dash package. Save and exit the file.
Start the Apache web server using the following command:
sv start httpd
Open a web browser and navigate to "http://localhost/linux-dash" to access the Linux Dash application. You should see the dashboard displaying various performance metrics of the system.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed the Linux Dash monitoring dashboard on a Void Linux system. You can now use the dashboard to monitor your system's performance and keep track of important metrics.
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!
