How to Install Noisedash on Arch Linux

Noisedash is an open-source web app designed for easy management and monitoring of noise levels. It allows users to create and manage noise sensors, view data in real-time, and generate reports. In this tutorial, we will be installing Noisedash on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you need to make sure that your Arch Linux system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update your system:

sudo pacman -Syu

You also need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed. If you don't have them installed already, you can run the following commands:

sudo pacman -S docker
sudo pacman -S docker-compose

After installing these packages, you will need to start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker.service

Installing Noisedash

Follow the steps below to install Noisedash on your Arch Linux system:

Step 1: Clone the Noisedash repository

To get started, clone the Noisedash repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git

This will download the Noisedash files to your local machine.

Step 2: Build the Docker image

Navigate to the Noisedash directory and run the following command to build the Docker image:

cd noisedash/
sudo docker build -t noisedash .

This will create a Docker image named noisedash based on the Dockerfile in the Noisedash directory.

Step 3: Run the Docker container

Once the Docker image is built, you can run the Docker container by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose up

This will start the Noisedash web app and make it accessible from your browser at http://localhost:8000.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Noisedash on your Arch Linux system. You can now use it to manage and monitor your noise sensors. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, check the Noisedash documentation on Github or leave a comment below.
