ActiveWorkflow is a modern workflow automation and scheduling solution that can help organizations automate their repetitive tasks with ease. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up ActiveWorkflow on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
Before we begin the installation process, it is essential to update the system to the latest version to ensure that all dependencies are up to date. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
In this step, we will install the dependencies required to run ActiveWorkflow. The installation requires multiple libraries such as build-essentials, libgmp-dev, libssl-dev, and libyaml-dev. To install all of these, run:
sudo apk add build-base libgmp-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev
ActiveWorkflow is written in Ruby, so it is essential to install the latest version of Ruby before proceeding to install ActiveWorkflow. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apk add ruby ruby-dev
Now that we have installed all the dependencies required to run ActiveWorkflow, it is time to install ActiveWorkflow. Run the following commands in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/automaticmode/active_workflow.git
cd active_workflow
bundle install
After the installation process is complete, you can start the server by running:
ruby app.rb
You should see the message:
== Sinatra (v2.0.5) has taken the stage on 9292 for development with backup from Puma
This message indicates that the server has started successfully.
You can now access ActiveWorkflow by visiting your server’s IP address and port 9292. For example, if your server’s IP address is 192.168.1.100, then you can access ActiveWorkflow by visiting http://192.168.1.100:9292/.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install ActiveWorkflow on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start to automate your workflow with ease.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
