How to Install Cachet Status Page System on Debian 12
Cachet is an open-source status page system that helps you communicate incidents and uptime to your users. Follow these steps to install Cachet on your VPS server.
Prerequisites
- A VPS server running Debian 12
- Root or sudo access
- Basic knowledge of the command line
Step 1: Update Your System
First, ensure your system is up to date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Step 2: Install Required Packages
Cachet requires PHP and several PHP extensions, along with a web server and a database server. Install the necessary packages:
sudo apt install nginx php8.0-fpm php8.0-cli php8.0-mysql php8.0-curl php8.0-xml php8.0-mbstring git unzip
sudo apt install mariadb-server
Step 3: Configure the Database
- Start the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
- Secure your MariaDB installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
- Log in to MariaDB:
sudo mysql -u root -p
- Create a database and user for Cachet:
CREATE DATABASE cachet; CREATE USER 'cachetuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cachet.* TO 'cachetuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;
Step 4: Install Cachet
- Change to the web root directory:
cd /var/www/
- Clone the Cachet repository:
git clone https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet.git cachet
- Change to the Cachet directory:
cd cachet
- Install dependencies using Composer. If you don’t have Composer, you can install it with:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Then, run:
composer install --no-dev
Step 5: Configure Cachet
- Copy the example environment file:
cp .env.example .env
- Open the .env file and set the database details:
DB_DATABASE=cachet DB_USERNAME=cachetuser DB_PASSWORD=your_password
- Run the migrations:
php artisan migrate --seed
Step 6: Configure Nginx
Create a new Nginx configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/cachet
Add the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com; # Change to your domain
root /var/www/cachet/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Enable the new site and test Nginx configuration:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/cachet /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t
Restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
