Shynet is a self-hosted web analytics platform that can be installed on your server. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps on how to install Shynet on Void Linux using the terminal.
Before we proceed with the installation of Shynet, it is important to ensure that your system's package manager is up to date:
sudo xbps-install -S && sudo xbps-install -u
This command will update your system package manager and upgrade any outdated packages on your system.
Next, we need to install the required dependencies for Shynet. We will install GIT and Node.js using the xbps package manager:
sudo xbps-install git nodejs
After installing the dependencies, we can now clone the Shynet repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet.git
This will clone the Shynet repository into your current working directory.
Now that we have cloned the Shynet repository, we can proceed with the installation. Navigate to the Shynet directory using the command below:
cd shynet
In the Shynet directory, we will install the required packages using Node.js package manager (npm) using the command:
npm install --production
This will install all the required dependencies for Shynet.
After installing all the dependencies, we can now run Shynet using the following command:
npm start
Shynet should be now up and running! You can access it by typing http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
By following the above steps, you have successfully installed Shynet on Void Linux. You can now start tracking your website's analytics using Shynet.
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!
