Getting Started

Welcome to the Linknesis documentation. Linknesis is a self-hosted network monitoring platform that lets you measure throughput, latency, and route health.

What is Linknesis?

Linknesis is a network monitoring solution delivered as a containerized Core plus lightweight Probes. The Core orchestrates tests, stores time-series results in MongoDB, and exposes a Web GUI. Probes run on your servers, desktops, or VMs and execute the actual measurements.

Quick overview

A typical deployment looks like this:

  • Core - Docker Compose stack running Nginx, the backend, MongoDB, webhook sender, and Certbot.
  • Probe - a single binary installed on each endpoint (Linux or Windows).
  • Web GUI - access tests, results, maps, and settings from your browser.

First steps

To get started:

  1. Install the Core on a server with Docker (see Core Installation).
  2. Create a DNS record to the server (optional; the Core starts with a self-signed certificate).
  3. Log in to the Web GUI, open Settings > Probes Configuration, and copy the PSK hash plus the Linux install command or Windows installer.
  4. Install one or more Probes using the copied command/installer.
  5. Create your first test from the Web GUI.
