OMD, or Open Monitoring Distribution, is a powerful monitoring software that allows you to monitor your infrastructure and applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing OMD on Void Linux.
Before you start with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed:
sudo privilegesOMD is not available in the Void Linux official repositories. Therefore, we need to add the OMD repository to the system. Open the terminal and run the following command to add the OMD repository.
sudo xbps-install -S omdrepo
Once the repository is added, update the system by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Su
Next, install the OMD package by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install omd
After installation is complete, we need to configure OMD. Run the following command to create a new OMD site:
sudo omd create mysite
Replace mysite with the name of your choice.
Finally, start the OMD service by running the following command:
sudo omd start mysite
OMD web interface should be accessible on port 5000. Open your web browser and navigate to:
http://localhost:5000
If you are accessing the OMD web interface remotely, replace localhost with your server IP or hostname.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install OMD on Void Linux. Now you can use it to monitor your infrastructure and applications.
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!
