Open Source Event Manager (OSEM) is a web platform for organizing events. It is written in Ruby on Rails and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OSEM on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we start, we need to ensure that our system has all the prerequisites installed. To do this, run the following command:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl runtime-ruby
This command installs the OpenSSL development package and the Ruby runtime environment on your system.
OSEM requires the Ruby on Rails framework, so we need to install it next. Run the following command to install Rails:
$ sudo gem install rails
Download the latest version of OSEM from the official website (osem.io/">https://osem.io/) and extract the files to your local machine.
$ wget https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
Navigate to the extracted directory.
$ cd osem-master
Run bundler to install all OSEM’s dependencies.
$ bundle install
Next, we need to create a configuration file for OSEM. Copy the example configuration file:
$ cp config/osem.yml.example config/osem.yml
You can edit the configuration file to suit your needs using your text editor of choice.
We now need to set up the OSEM database. Run the following command to create the database and run the database migrations:
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
Once you have set up the database, you can start OSEM by running the following command:
$ rails server
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the OSEM web platform.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install OSEM on Clear Linux Latest. You can now proceed to use the platform to organize your events.
If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the OSEM documentation (https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/blob/master/README.md) for further guidance.
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!
