How to Install Strider on Manjaro

Strider is a self-hosted continuous integration and deployment platform. It can be used to test, build and deploy code. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Strider on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have:

• A Manjaro installation with root access
• Node.js installed (you can install it using the package manager)

Installation

Follow the step-by-step instructions below:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Install MongoDB using the package manager:

sudo pacman -S mongodb

3. Clone the Strider repository:

git clone https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider.git

4. Go to the Strider directory:

cd strider

5. Install the dependencies:

npm install

6. Start the MongoDB service:

sudo systemctl start mongodb.service

7. Copy the config.example.json file:

cp config.example.json config.json

8. Open the config.json file and configure the settings. You can leave the default values for most of the settings, but you need to change the host and port values to the IP address and port of your server.

9. Start the Strider server:

npm start

10. Open your web browser and go to http://<your-server-ip>:<your-server-port>/. If everything was set up correctly, you should see the Strider login page.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Strider on Manjaro.

Conclusion

Strider is a powerful continuous integration and deployment platform that can help you test, build and deploy your code. It takes a bit of effort to set up, but once you have it up and running, it will save you a lot of time and effort. We hope you found this tutorial helpful.

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!
