Hi,

I tried to install dashing-dashboard for my Icinga2 instance. But the service can’t be started; systemctl gives the error message “Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory”

Well, the Gemfile is right under ~/dashing-icinga2/Gemfile. Where else should I put it?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

1. added API user in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/api-users.conf
2. installed ruby, bundler and nodejs via apt
3. installed bundler and dashing gems
4. cloned [https://github.com/dnsmichi/dashing-icinga2.git](https://github.com/dnsmichi/dashing-icinga2.git)
5. executed “bundle” in the cloned repository
6. copied icinga2.json to icinga2.local.json and edited the API user
7. created folder /usr/share/dashing-icinga2
8. installed the service:  
sudo cp tools/systemd/dashing-icinga2.service /lib/systemd/system/  
sudo systemctl daemon-reload  
sudo systemctl start dashing-icinga2.service  
sudo systemctl status dashing-icinga2.service

I’d assume that the path to the cloned repository is `/usr/share/dashing-icinga2`?

No, it’s /home/administrator/dashing-icinga2

Hi! It’s possible to install dashing-icinga2 on a different server than ICINGA 2 run ?  
This is just to test\evaluate the dashboard and do not involve the ICINGA server.  
Do I need to change some file on the icinga server in order to make dashing-icinga2 works ?

Yes you can install where ever you want, dashing uses the Icinga API.
