How to Install Uptime Kuma on EndeavourOS Latest

Uptime Kuma is an open-source self-hosted monitoring tool. It is built using Node.js and Vue.js. In this tutorial, we will explore the process of installing Uptime Kuma on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure the following requirements are satisfied:

A server or VPS running EndeavourOS Latest.
A user account with sudo privileges.
Node.js installed on your system.

Install Dependencies

To start, log into your server or VPS with sudo privileges. Then, update the system to ensure all packages are up to date:

sudo pacman -Syyu

Next, install the required dependencies, including Git, Yarn, and PostgreSQL:

sudo pacman -S git yarn postgresql

Configure PostgreSQL

With PostgreSQL installed, we need to create a new database and user. To do so, invoke psql as the postgres user:

sudo -i -u postgres
psql

Then, at the PostgreSQL command prompt, create a new user and database:

CREATE DATABASE uptime_kuma;
CREATE USER uptime_kuma WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE uptime_kuma TO uptime_kuma;

Finally, exit the PostgreSQL prompt:

\q
exit

Clone the Repository

With the dependencies installed and PostgreSQL configured, we can proceed to clone Uptime Kuma's repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma.git

Install Dependencies

Once the repository is cloned successfully, navigate into the created directory:

cd uptime-kuma

Then, proceed to install the project dependencies:

yarn

Configuration

After installing project dependencies, we need to copy the sample configuration file:

cp .env.example .env

Then, edit the .env file to match the PostgreSQL user credentials and database we created earlier:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=uptime_kuma
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword
DB_DATABASE=uptime_kuma

Build and Run the Application

Once the configuration is done, we can build and start the Uptime Kuma application by running the following command:

yarn build && yarn start

By default, Uptime Kuma listens on port 3000. We can access the Uptime Kuma dashboard by visiting http://your_server_ip_address:3000.

And that's it! You have now successfully installed Uptime Kuma on your EndeavourOS Latest system.
