This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install cAdvisor from Google's Github repository on Windows 10.
Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that the following requirements are met:
Open Docker Desktop for Windows and make sure that it is running.
Open a command prompt or terminal window and verify that docker is installed properly by typing the following command:
docker --version
The output should display your current Docker version.
Pull the cAdvisor Docker image by running the following command:
docker pull google/cadvisor
This command downloads the latest version of cAdvisor from the Docker registry and saves it in your local machine.
Once the image is downloaded, run the following command to launch a new container:
docker run --detach --name=cadvisor --publish=8080:8080 --volume=/:/rootfs:ro --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw --volume=/sys:/sys:ro --volume=/var/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker:ro google/cadvisor:latest
Here, we are running cAdvisor in detached mode as a container and publishing the container's port 8080.
Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the cAdvisor dashboard.
You can verify that cAdvisor is running by checking the logs. To do this, type the following command:
docker logs cadvisor
This command lists the container's logs. You should see a message indicating that cAdvisor is running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run cAdvisor using Docker on Windows 10. You can now monitor your Docker containers and system resources.
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!
