sudo pacman -S mongodb

After installing MongoDB, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 4: Install Git

StatPing.ng is available on GitHub, so we will clone its repository using Git. Install Git using the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Next, clone the StatPing.ng repository from GitHub using Git. Move to the /opt directory and clone the repository using the following commands:

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/statping-ng/statping-ng.git

Step 6: Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate to the statping-ng directory and install its dependencies using the following commands:

cd /opt/statping-ng
sudo npm install

Step 7: Configure StatPing.ng

Next, configure StatPing.ng by copying the sample configuration file and editing it:

cd /opt/statping-ng/config
sudo cp config.js.sample config.js
sudo nano config.js

In the configuration file, set the following:

  • mongodb - set your MongoDB URI (e.g., mongodb://localhost:27017/statping)
  • port - set the port number you want StatPing.ng to listen on (e.g., 8080)
  • api_key - set the API key for authentication (e.g., myapikey123)

Save and exit the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, then ENTER.

Step 8: Run StatPing.ng

Finally, start the StatPing.ng server using the following command:

sudo npm start

StatPing.ng will now be available at http://your-server-ip:port/ (e.g., http://192.168.0.10:8080/).
