IoBroker is an open-source, universal platform for integrating various IoT devices, services, and protocols. It allows users to manage IoT data and control IoT devices through a user-friendly web interface. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing ioBroker on Debian Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update and upgrade the Debian packages to ensure that the server has the latest security patches and software updates.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
ioBroker is built on Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment. We need to install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) to run ioBroker.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
You can check the version of Node.js and npm by running the following commands:
node -v
npm -v
You can either download the ioBroker installation package from the official website, or use the following command to download and install it directly:
curl -sL https://iobroker.net/install.sh | bash -
The installation process may take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your server and the network connection.
Once the installation is complete, you can start ioBroker by running the following command:
iobroker start
The first time you run ioBroker, it may take a few minutes to start up and create the necessary configuration files.
You can check the status of ioBroker by running the following command:
iobroker status
You can access the ioBroker web interface by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your server, followed by the port number 8081. For example:
http://<server-ip-address>:8081
You should see the ioBroker login page. Enter the username and password that you used during the installation process, and you should be able to access the ioBroker dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ioBroker on Debian Latest. You can now start using ioBroker to manage your IoT devices, services, and protocols. Keep in mind that you can customize and configure ioBroker to meet your specific needs and requirements.
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!
