This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing ActiveMQ on NetBSD. ActiveMQ is a message broker software that allows various applications to communicate with each other by sending messages through a messaging system.
Before starting the installation process, you must have the following installed on your system:
If you don't have Java installed, run the following command:
pkg_add openjdk8
Follow the steps below to install ActiveMQ on NetBSD:
Go to the official ActiveMQ website [https://activemq.apache.org/] and download the latest version of ActiveMQ.
Extract the downloaded file by running the following command:
tar -xzf apache-activemq-x.x.x-bin.tar.gz
Replace x.x.x with the version number of the file you have downloaded.
Next, move the extracted folder to the desired location on your system. For example, you can move the extracted folder to the /usr/local directory by running the following command:
mv apache-activemq-x.x.x /usr/local/activemq
Replace x.x.x with the version number of the file you have downloaded.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location of your Java installation. You can set the variable using the following command:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/pkg/java/openjdk8
Replace /usr/pkg/java/openjdk8 with the actual location of your Java installation.
Start ActiveMQ by running the following command:
/usr/local/activemq/bin/activemq start
To verify that ActiveMQ is running, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8161/. You should see the ActiveMQ dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ActiveMQ on NetBSD. You can now use ActiveMQ to send and receive messages between different applications.
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!
