Operating Scouter Analytics from source

Build Scouter Analytics

The supplied Makefile uses podman to build Scouter Analytics in a well-defined environment where most tools are made available, but some must still be installed to the host system

If you're on Arch, or a derivative like Omarchy, run:

pacman -S \
  podman \
  erofs-utils \
  git

Fedora, CentOS, Rocky, and other RHEL-like distros:

dnf install -y \
  podman \
  erofs-utils \
  git

Clone, build, and install Scouter Analytics

git clone https://github.com/sbaildon/scouter-analytics
cd scouter-anlaytics 
make && sudo make install

Install Scouter Analytics

Scouter is installed as a Systemd portable service, located at /var/lib/portables/scouter-analytics.v/, where .v/ is a directory with versioned releases

Arch provides portablectl in a fresh install. If you're using Fedora, Rocky, or another RHEL-like distro, you will likely need to install portablectl

dnf install -y systemd-container

Attaching a portable service

Portable services need to be attached to the host system. To do that, run

portablectl attach /var/lib/portables/scouter-analytics.raw.v/ scouter-analytics

The unit scouter-analytics.service should be attached to your system

systemctl cat scouter-analytics

Running Scouter Analytics

systemctl enable --now scouter-analytics
