NetXMS is a network management and monitoring system that provides comprehensive network monitoring capabilities to ensure the smooth operation of IT infrastructure.
In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install NetXMS on NixOS.
Before we begin, ensure you have the following:
Add the following lines to the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
netxms.targz
];
This will tell NixOS to install NetXMS when the system is next built or updated.
Run the following command to update NixOS:
sudo nixOs-rebuild switch
The update process may take several minutes to complete.
Once installed, configure NetXMS using the configuration files located in /etc/netxms.
For example, you can edit the netxmsd.conf file to configure NetXMS server settings like port, logging, and database settings.
Start the NetXMS daemon by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start netxmsd
You can check the status of the daemon using the following command:
sudo systemctl status netxmsd
If everything is working correctly, the output should indicate that the NetXMS daemon is active and running.
Access the NetXMS web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to the following address:
http://localhost:8080/netxms/
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured NetXMS on NixOS. To learn more about NetXMS and its capabilities, refer to the official documentation available on https://www.netxms.org/.
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!
