Installing Blstmo Monitor: Quick Start Guide

Blstmo Monitor is a lightweight server monitoring solution. This guide will walk you through the installation process step by step.

Quick Installation

The fastest way to install is using our installation script:

curl -s https://blstmo.com/apps/monitor/install.sh | sudo bash

Manual Installation Steps

If you prefer to review the script first:

# Download the installation script
wget https://blstmo.com/apps/monitor/install.sh

# Review the contents
cat install.sh

# Make it executable
chmod +x install.sh

# Run the installation
sudo ./install.sh

Post-Installation

After installation, the monitor:

  • Runs on port 8088
  • Automatically starts on system boot
  • Only accepts connections from authorized IPs

Updating the Monitor

To check for and install updates:

sudo upgrade-blstmomonitor

Checking Status

View the monitor’s status:

sudo systemctl status blstmomonitor

Common Issues

  1. Wrong Architecture

    • The script automatically detects and installs the correct version (AMD64 or ARM64)
    • If you see “Exec format error”, contact support
  2. Port Already in Use

    • Ensure nothing else is running on port 8088
    • Check with: sudo lsof -i :8088
