OpenOlitor is a free and open-source software that is designed to help farmers manage their processes in a more efficient manner. In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to install OpenOlitor on the latest FreeBSD version.
Before getting started, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by OpenOlitor. We shall use the FreeBSD package manager "pkg" to install these dependencies.
To do this, execute the following command:
pkg install git node14 npm
Once the dependencies installation is complete, check if the installation was successful by running the command:
node -v
If the command returns a version number such as v14.17.3, it means that node has been successfully installed.
After installing the dependencies, the next step is to clone the OpenOlitor codebase from its official GitHub repository.
In your terminal, navigate to the location where you wish to clone the repository, then execute the command:
git clone https://github.com/OpenOlitor/OpenOlitor.git
Once the code has been successfully cloned, navigate to the OpenOlitor directory, and install the necessary packages using the npm command.
Execute the command:
cd OpenOlitor
npm install
To start OpenOlitor on FreeBSD, execute the command:
npm run server
This command will run the OpenOlitor server and run it on port 8080.
Open your web browser and type in the URL:
http://<server-ip>:8080
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your FreeBSD server. You should see the OpenOlitor login page.
Congratulations! At this stage, you have successfully installed OpenOlitor on FreeBSD. You can now use it to manage your farming processes. Make sure to customize its configurations to your preferences.
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!
