In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to install Naemon on NixOS. Naemon is an open-source monitoring system that is used to monitor network devices and services.
Before you start installing Naemon, it's important to update the NixOS system to the latest version. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
To install Naemon, run the following command:
sudo nix-env -i naemon
This command will install the Naemon package along with all its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure Naemon to monitor the devices and services in your network. The configuration of Naemon is done through its configuration file, which is located at /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg.
You can use any text editor to modify this file. For example, to use nano, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg
Once you have opened the configuration file, you can modify it to suit your monitoring requirements.
To start Naemon, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start naemon
You can now access the Naemon web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8080/naemon on your web browser.
To ensure that Naemon starts automatically at boot, run the following command that enables the naemon service.
sudo systemctl enable naemon
Once Naemon is installed and configured, you can use it to monitor your network devices and services. With its rich feature set and ease of use, Naemon is an excellent choice for monitoring your network.
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!
