Nhost is a Firebase-like Backend as a Service( BaaS) platform that provides users with a ready-made backend. Nhost is built on top of Hasura GraphQL Engine and Postgres, which provides a powerful backend experience. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Nhost on Alpine Linux latest version.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Nhost, we need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed on our system. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk add --no-cache curl gnupg ca-certificates
This command will install curl, gnupg, and ca-certificates.
Now we need to add the Nhost repository to our system. We can do this by running the following command:
echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
This command will add the Nhost repository to our system.
Now we can install Nhost on our system by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add nhost
This command will update the repositories and then install Nhost on our system.
Now we need to initialize Nhost by running the following command:
nhost init
This command will create a new Nhost project in the current directory.
Finally, we can start Nhost by running the following command:
nhost dev
This command will start the Nhost development server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nhost on Alpine Linux latest version.
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!
