Then install the LXD system container hypervisor as follows.
Using APT, first update the system: $ sudo apt update There are two ways of doing this, you can install from Ubuntu’s repository using the APT package manager or you can use snap. In this guide, we will demonstrate how you can create and manage LXC containers using LXD on Debian/Ubuntu. It is not intended to supplant LXC, rather, it is aimed at improving the usability and handling of LXC-based containers It also provides a daemon that lets you easily manage containers and virtual machines. LXD came to make containers more user-friendly and easy to manage.īeing an extension of LXC, LXD provides advanced features such as snapshots and live migration. LXC came into the picture around 2008, and LXD was launched 7 years later in 2015 with the same building blocks as LXC. LXD is an open-source project and is an extension of LXC ( Linux Containers) which is OS-level virtualization technology. Written in Go language, LXD (pronounced as Lekseed) is described as the next generation system container and virtual machine manager that allows you to manage your containers and virtual machines from the command line, or by leveraging a REST API or other third party tools. Popular containerization technologies include Docker, Podman, and LXD. You will also get more advance features on cacti to get better monitoring of your network.Over the last decade, the open-source community has seen a steady shift to containerization as the preferred way of deploying applications thanks to the numerous benefits it offers such as portability, flexibility, increased security, and easier management of applications. Those are very simple ways to you add your network devices for monitoring. Select your previous added device then select graph types and then click on save. To create graph: First go to console then click “Create graphs for your new devices”.
You have to change password for the first time.Īfter login to cacti you will get cacti dashboard, where you can add devices and create graphs.Īt the left side of dashboard you will all options to implement.Ĭlick on Management then device and at the right corner click on (+) add to add a device.Īfter provide required information at the right bottom corner click on create. In your cacti login page provide default user name “admin” and default password “admin”.
Step 21: Now go to web browser and type localhost/cacti and hit enterĬacti installation page will appear.Accept License agreement and begin installation.Ĭomplete installation as per instructions.įrom web browser visit localhost/cacti/index.php */5 * * * * cacti /usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 To temporarily disable the SELinux, run the following command in the terminal. Step 19: It is recommended to permanently disable SELinux for Cacti to work correctly. #firewall-cmd -permanent -add-service=http#firewall-cmd -reload Step 18: Configure the firewall to allow HTTP service. Step 17: enable service for start-up #systemctl enable rvice Step 16: Now we will start Apache, MySQL and SNMP services #systemctl start rvice Update the timezone as follows date.timezone = US/Central Step 15: Set the timezone by editing /etc/php.ini file. # vim /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnfĪdd variables in section. Step 14: Cacti recommend changing MySQL variables settings for better performances.Įdit configuration file depends on the operating system. #mysql -u root -p mysql GRANT SELECT ON mysql.time_zone_name TO To do that, import the mysql_test_data_timezone.sql to mysql database first.
Step 13: The newly created database user ( mahbub ) should have access to the mysql.time_zone_name Table. Step 10: Install cacti tables on MySql # mysql -u mahbub -p cacti >grant all on cacti.* to identified by "test123" Step 09: Create cacti database #mysql -u root -p >create database cacti Step 08: Configure MySQL #mysql_secure_installation If it does not work then we have to enable EPEL repository #wget Step07: Let’s install cacti now # yum install cacti -y
Step 06: Install RRDTool # yum install rrdtool -y # yum install net-snmp-utils net-snmp-libs -y Step 04: Install php-SNMP # yum install php-snmp -y Step 03: Install php # yum install php-mysql php-pear php-common php-gd php-devel php php-mbstring php-cli -y Step 02: Install mariadb # yum install mariadb-server -y Step 01: First we need t install following dependency packages using yum package manager tool # yum install httpd httpd-devel -y
