How to Install Shynet on EndeavourOS

Introduction

Shynet is a simple and lightweight self-hosted analytics system that you can install on your server or VPS. It is built with Node.js, and it provides you with a dashboard to monitor your website's traffic and user engagement. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Shynet on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, you need to make sure that you have the following requirements:

• A server or VPS running EndeavourOS with root access
• Node.js and npm installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Step 1: Install git

You need to install git on your server to clone the Shynet repository. To do that, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 2: Clone the Shynet repository

Navigate to the directory where you want to install Shynet and run the following command to clone the Shynet repository:

git clone https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the Shynet directory and install the dependencies by running the following command:

cd shynet
npm install

Step 4: Configure the Database

By default, Shynet uses SQLite as the database. If you want to change the database engine, you can modify the src/config.ts file. In this tutorial, we will use SQLite.

Run the following command to migrate the database:

npm run migrate

Step 5: Start Shynet

Once the migration is completed, you can start Shynet by running the following command:

npm run start

The Shynet dashboard should now be accessible at http://your-server-ip:3000. You can use the default username admin and password password to log in. We highly recommend that you change the password immediately.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Shynet on EndeavourOS. You can now start monitoring your website's traffic and user engagement. If you encounter any issues, feel free to consult the Shynet documentation at https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet.
