Install NagiosXi image without windows

Post by QS1 »

Is it possible to take the Nagiosxi image from your website and install it without windows?
We just want a Server running the CentOS, Nagios, Nagiosxi, and a GUI.
Is there any documentation for this?

Should just work, what specifically are you attempting?

Could you elaborate a little more on what you need?

Our website has both a pre-packaged VM that runs on VMWare as a CentOS server. The VM does not have a gui installed.

If you're wanting a CentOS server with a gui and running XI you'll have to do a manual install. We recommend installing XI on a fresh CentOS install. Here's the documentation for that.

Should be possible and to install Gnome(A GUI that runs on a Linux console using X11) and it's dependents using our CentOS VM as a base. Our CentOS VM does include the NagiosXI GUI.

We don't have the resources to duplicate the CentOS knowledge base, for instructions installing Gnome(or KDE if you like) please see the CentOS community.
