Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that simplifies the automation of tasks across a wide range of systems and applications. It enables system administrators and DevOps engineers to manage multi-node deployments, roll out updates and patches, and automate tasks through a simple command-line interface.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bolt on NetBSD.
Before you begin, make sure:
Bolt is developed and maintained by Puppet. Therefore, we need to add the Puppet repository configuration to the NetBSD package manager.
Execute the following command as the root user:
pkg_add https://apt.puppet.com/puppet7-release-netbsd-9.pkg
This command will download and install the Puppet repository configuration package for NetBSD.
After installing the Puppet repository configuration, we can now install Bolt using the package manager.
Execute the following command as the root user:
pkg_add bolt
The package manager will download and install Bolt and its dependencies.
To verify that Bolt is installed correctly on your system, run the following command:
bolt --version
This command should output the version of Bolt that you installed.
In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to install Bolt on NetBSD. Once installed, you can use Bolt to automate a wide range of tasks across your systems and applications. For more information on using and configuring Bolt, refer to the official documentation from Puppet.
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!
