This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OPSI on Alpine Linux. OPSI is an open source client management tool that allows efficient management of Windows and Linux clients.
Before you begin, you should have the following:
OPSI requires Python 3.4 or higher. To install Python on Alpine Linux, run the following command:
sudo apk add python3
To install OPSI on Alpine Linux, we need to install the required dependencies. Run the following command to update the system and install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add gcc kernel-headers musl-dev python3-dev openssl-dev
Follow the steps below to download and install OPSI on Alpine Linux:
wget https://download.uib.de/opsi4.2.1/opsi4.2.1.27-3.opsi
sudo python3 opsi4.2.1.27-3.opsi
Now that we have OPSI installed, we need to configure it before we can start using it. Follow the below steps to configure OPSI:
/etc/opsi/backends/mysql.conf with the following contents:[SQL]
username = root
password =
database = opsidb
host = localhost
port = 3306
Replace root with the username for your MySQL database.
Add the password next to password =.
Replace opsidb with the name of your OPSI database.
Save and close the file.
Start the OPSI server by running the following command:
sudo opsi-admin -d task_server
This will start the OPSI server on your Alpine Linux machine.
You have successfully installed OPSI on Alpine Linux. Now you can use OPSI to manage client computers.
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!
