In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Dashdot on Void Linux. Dashdot is a lightweight and easy-to-use dashboard application that provides real-time performance monitoring and visualization of your server processes.
Before proceeding with the installation, we assume that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Dashdot on your Void Linux instance:
Open a terminal session.
Install the dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -Su nginx lm_sensors py3-pip
Install Dashdot using pip3:
sudo pip3 install dashdot
Verify the installation by running the Dashdot command:
dashdot
If the command runs successfully, you will see a message similar to the following:
Dashdot is running on http://127.0.0.1:8050/
Setup Nginx reverse proxy:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/dashdot.conf
Paste the following configuration into the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8050;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
proxy_redirect off;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Access Dashdot through your web browser by navigating to http://your_domain.com.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Dashdot on your Void Linux instance. You can now monitor your server processes and performance in real-time.
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!
