This tutorial will guide you on how to install Huginn on Alpine Linux Latest. Huginn is a self-hosted, open-source platform that allows you to create agents that perform automated tasks. The setup process involves installing Ruby, Node.js, and Huginn dependencies.
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
It's important to update the system to the latest packages before installing anything new. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
To install Ruby and Node.js on your system, run the following command:
sudo apk add ruby ruby-dev nodejs npm libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev build-base
Once the packages have been installed, you need to configure the system's environment by setting the GEM_HOME environment variable. This can be done by adding the following line to the /etc/environment file:
GEM_HOME=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0
To install Huginn, you need to clone the official Huginn repository from GitHub. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/huginn/huginn.git
Once you have cloned Huginn, navigate to the root directory of the repository and install the required Ruby gems by running:
bundle install --deployment --without development test
Note that this process may take a while.
Before you can start using Huginn, you need to configure it. Copy the sample.env file to .env by running:
cp sample.env .env
Open the .env file in a text editor and make any necessary changes, such as setting the APP_SECRET_TOKEN to a unique string. You can also configure the database settings in this file.
To start Huginn, navigate to the root directory of the repository and run the following command:
foreman start
This command will start all the necessary services and you can access Huginn through your web browser by entering http://localhost:3000.
By following the above steps, you should now have successfully installed and configured Huginn on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start creating agents and automating tasks.
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!
