Chartbrew is an open-source tool that makes it easy to create, manage and share interactive dashboards. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Chartbrew on NetBSD.
Before we get started, make sure that your NetBSD server meets the following requirements:
Chartbrew requires Node.js to be installed on your server. If you don't have it installed already, you can install it using the following command:
pkgin in nodejs
Chartbrew uses MongoDB as its database backend. You can install it using the following command:
pkgin in mongodb
Now that we have installed the prerequisites, we can proceed with installing Chartbrew. First, clone the Chartbrew repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/razvanilin/chartbrew.git
Next, navigate to the cloned repository and install the required dependencies:
cd chartbrew
npm install
Chartbrew requires a configuration file to work correctly. You can copy the example configuration file and edit it to match your setup:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the values in the .env file with the correct information for your MongoDB installation.
Now that we have installed and configured Chartbrew, we can start the application. You can start the application using the following command:
npm start
Once the application has started, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chartbrew on your NetBSD server. You can now use Chartbrew to create, manage and share your interactive dashboards.
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!
