In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Hasura on FreeBSD Latest operating system. Hasura is an open-source engine that helps to build, deploy, and manage GraphQL APIs. Hasura provides a comprehensive toolset including API management, access control, data validation, and real-time subscriptions.
Before we get started, ensure you have the following requirements:
Before installing Hasura, ensure your system has the following dependencies installed:
pkg install -y libstdc++ libffi gmp
Hasura is available as a Docker container image. Therefore, we need to install Docker on our system.
pkg install -y docker
Now, start the Docker service and enable it for system boot:
sysrc docker_enable=YES
service docker start
The next step is to install Hasura. We can install Hasura using the following command:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 hasura/graphql-engine
This command will pull the latest Hasura image from the Docker Hub repository and run it in a new container in detached mode (-d). Additionally, we specify the port to expose (8080:8080). This port is required to access the Hasura console.
Now that Hasura is installed, we can access it via the web console.
Open your web browser and enter the following URL to access the Hasura console:
http://localhost:8080/console
We are now ready to start building our GraphQL API using Hasura.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the steps to install Hasura on FreeBSD Latest. We started by installing the dependencies, followed by installing Docker, and finally installing Hasura. We also learned how to access the Hasura console via the browser.
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!
