Chartbrew is a web application that allows you to create and manage charts for your data. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Chartbrew on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing Chartbrew, you must have the following prerequisites on your system:
If you don't have Node.js and Git installed, you can install them using the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
apk add nodejs npm git
This command will update the package index, upgrade the existing packages, and install Node.js, NPM, and Git if they are not installed.
After installing Node.js and Git, you need to clone the Chartbrew repository to your system. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git
This command will clone the Chartbrew repository to your current directory.
Before running Chartbrew, you need to install its dependencies. To install dependencies, navigate to the Chartbrew directory and run the following command:
cd chartbrew
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required by Chartbrew.
Chartbrew uses MongoDB as its database. To connect to the database, you need to create a configuration file.
Copy the config.example.js file to config.js:
cp config.example.js config.js
Then, replace the database configuration with your own:
// your mongodb uri
process.env.MONGO_URI = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/chartbrew';
You are now ready to start the Chartbrew server. To start the server, run the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Chartbrew server and display the following message:
Server started on port 3000
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access Chartbrew.
You have successfully installed Chartbrew on Alpine Linux Latest. Now, you can use Chartbrew to create and manage charts for your data.
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!
