Motor Admin is a web-based management tool that allows you to manage your MongoDB instances or clusters with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Motor Admin on Void Linux.
Before installing Motor Admin, you must first ensure that all the necessary dependencies are installed on your system. To do this, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs
This will install Node.js on your system, which is required to run Motor Admin.
Next, go to the official Motor Admin website at https://www.getmotoradmin.com/ and download the latest stable release.
Once you have downloaded the Motor Admin archive, extract it to the location of your choice. For example, here we are extracting it to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo tar zxvf motor-admin-*.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin/
To run Motor Admin as a service, create a systemd service file. Open a new terminal window and enter the following command to create a new service file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/motoradmin.service
Copy and paste the following contents into the file:
[Unit]
Description=Motor Admin
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/motor-admin start
Restart=always
User=your_user_name
Group=your_group_name
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Be sure to replace your_user_name and your_group_name in the User and Group fields with the appropriate values.
Once you have inserted the correct values, save and exit the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, and finally ENTER.
Now that you have created the systemd service file, start the Motor Admin service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start motoradmin.service
To ensure that the service runs automatically on system startup, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable motoradmin.service
Motor Admin is now installed and running on your Void Linux system. To access it, open a web browser and navigate to http://your_ip_address:3000. You will be presented with the Motor Admin login screen, where you can enter your MongoDB credentials and start managing your databases.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Motor Admin on your Void Linux system. With this powerful tool, you can now easily manage your MongoDB instances or clusters from a user-friendly web interface.
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!
