Thruk is a web-based monitoring tool that provides a unified view of systems running Nagios, Icinga, Shinken, and other monitoring software. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Thruk on Void Linux.
Before we start, you need to make sure that your Void Linux installation is up-to-date. Also, you'll need root or sudo privileges.
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies for Thruk. Open up a terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S gcc make perl perl-devel zlib-devel libxml2-devel
sudo xbps-install -S rrdtool-devel glib2-devel gd-devel gperf bison flex
To install Thruk, you can use the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S thruk
This command will download and install the Thruk package along with its dependencies.
Once Thruk is installed, you'll need to configure it. First, you need to generate a configuration file for Thruk by running:
sudo thruk_gen_config
This will generate a configuration file at /etc/thruk/thruk_local.conf.
Next, edit the configuration file and set the values for the following parameters:
[core]
datadir = /var/cache/thruk
[broker]
type = unix:/var/cache/thruk/nagios.cmd
[rrd]
dir = /var/cache/thruk/rrd
[auth]
module = htpasswd
htpasswd_file = /etc/thruk/htpasswd
Note that you'll need to create the /var/cache/thruk directory first.
Afterward, you need to create an admin user by running:
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/thruk/htpasswd admin
This will create an admin user and prompt you to set a password.
Finally, you can start the Thruk web interface by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start thruk
Once the service started, Thruk can be accessed via http://
And that's it! You've successfully installed and configured Thruk on your Void Linux system. Happy monitoring!
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!
