Sure! Here's a tutorial on how to install Uptime Kuma on Elementary OS:
Step 1: Install dependencies
First, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Uptime Kuma to run. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip
Step 2: Clone Uptime Kuma
Next, we need to clone the Uptime Kuma repository from GitHub. To do this, enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git
Step 3: Install Python packages
Uptime Kuma requires a number of Python packages to be installed. To install these packages, navigate to the Uptime Kuma directory that we just cloned and enter the following command:
cd uptime-kuma && sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Step 4: Start Uptime Kuma
With the dependencies and Python packages installed, we can now start Uptime Kuma. To do this, navigate to the Uptime Kuma directory and enter the following command:
python3 uptimekuma.py
Uptime Kuma should now be running and accessible through your web browser at http://localhost:3001.
Step 5: Optional - Configure Uptime Kuma to run as a daemon
If you want Uptime Kuma to run as a daemon, meaning it will start automatically when your system boots up, you can use the included systemd service file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the
uptime-kuma.servicefile located in the Uptime Kuma directory:nano uptime-kuma.service. - Change the
Userfield to your own user account on your system. - Copy the
uptime-kuma.servicefile to/etc/systemd/system/:sudo cp uptime-kuma.service /etc/systemd/system/. - Reload systemd:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload. - Enable the Uptime Kuma service to start on boot:
sudo systemctl enable uptime-kuma. - Start the Uptime Kuma service:
sudo systemctl start uptime-kuma.
Uptime Kuma will now start automatically when your system boots up.
And that's it! You should now have Uptime Kuma up and running on your Elementary OS system.
