Installing pyDash on FreeBSD

pyDash is a lightweight web-based dashboard tool used for monitoring various system metrics. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install pyDash on FreeBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you can begin this tutorial, ensure the following prerequisites are in place:

• A FreeBSD Latest server
• Python 3.x installed on your FreeBSD server
• Root privileges on your server
• Basic knowledge of the FreeBSD command-line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Update FreeBSD

First, update your FreeBSD packages to the most recent versions:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

Step 2: Install pyDash

After updating FreeBSD, proceed to install pyDash on your FreeBSD system via pip3 package installer as follows:

sudo pip3 install pydash

If you don't have pip3 installed, run the following command:

sudo pkg install py36-pip

Step 3: Run pyDash

Once pyDash installation is successful, run the following commands to start pyDash on your FreeBSD Latest system:

sudo pydash run

This will start the pyDash server on your FreeBSD server. By default, pyDash runs on port 5000, so you can browse to the following link to access the pyDash web interface:

http://your_server_ip_address:5000/

You can also specify a custom port number when starting pyDash by passing the --port flag followed by the desired port number, like:

sudo pydash run --port 8080

Now you can browse to http://your_server_ip_address:8080/ to access your pyDash web interface.

Step 4: Terminate pyDash

To terminate pyDash, use the following command:

sudo pkill -f pydash

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed pyDash on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use pyDash to track and monitor system performance metrics in real-time.
