Once it is done, you need to start the Docker service

root@linuxhelp:~#systemctl start docker

Once the above process is completed check the status of docker.

root@linuxhelp:~#systemctl status docker

Once it completed we need to enable the service.

root@linuxhelp:~#systemctl enable docker

Using git command we are downloading cabot monitoring tools file.

root@linuxhelp:~#git clone https://github.com/cabotapp/docker-cabot.git
Cloning into 'docker-cabot'...

Resolving deltas: 100% (174/174), done.

Once the download is completed .Now we can move to our Cabot folder created and add your keys for external services to the configuration files.

root@linuxhelp:~#cd docker-cabot

Once the above step is completed we need to copy this files to another loaction

root@linuxhelp:~/docker-cabot#cp conf/production.env.example conf/production.env

root@linuxhelp:~/docker-cabot# cp conf/Caddyfile.example conf/Caddyfile

Finally, you can run the docker-compose command to build your container.

root@linuxhelp:~/docker-cabot#docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-caddy.yml up –d

Once, it done check the Cabot container and its services are up and running.*

root@linuxhelp:~/docker-cabot#docker ps

Once the above process Is completed we are moving to browser and check the cabot monitoring tools.

Creating a super user to access the admin page.

Logging with the user that we have created. This is the Cabot monitoring tools application.
