Prerequisites

  • A machine running OpenSUSE Latest.
  • Access to a terminal window.

Step 1: Install Docker

First, you need to ensure that Docker is installed on your system. To install Docker, follow the steps below:

  1. Open a terminal window and run the following command to add the Docker repository:
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.docker.com/linux/opensuse/15.2/standard/x86_64/docker-ce.repo
  1. Then, update the package manager:
sudo zypper refresh
  1. Finally, install Docker:
sudo zypper install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
  1. Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service:
sudo systemctl start docker
  1. Verify that Docker is running with the following command:
sudo systemctl status docker

Step 2: Install cAdvisor

You can install cAdvisor using Docker. Follow the steps below to install cAdvisor:

  1. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to download cAdvisor:
sudo docker pull google/cadvisor
  1. Once the download is complete, start cAdvisor with the following command:
sudo docker run \
  --volume=/:/rootfs:ro \
  --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw \
  --volume=/sys:/sys:ro \
  --volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:ro \
  --publish=8080:8080 \
