Chef is a configuration management system that automates the process of configuring and deploying software. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Chef on NetBSD.
Before starting with the installation of Chef, you should have the following prerequisites:
To install Chef on NetBSD, follow these steps:
Before installing any software, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest version. Run the following command to update your NetBSD system:
# pkgin update
# pkgin full-upgrade
Chef is a Ruby-based tool, so you need to have Ruby installed on your system. Run the following command to install Ruby on your NetBSD system:
# pkgin install ruby
Once Ruby is installed, you can proceed with installing Chef. The most common way of installing Chef is via the Chef Omnibus package. To install the Chef Omnibus package, run the following command:
# curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sh
This script installs the latest version of Chef on your system. Once the installation is complete, you should see a message similar to the following:
Thank you for installing Chef!
You can verify the installation of Chef by running the following command:
# chef-client --version
This command should display the version of Chef installed on your system.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Chef on your NetBSD system. You can now start using Chef to automate the process of configuring and deploying software. If you encounter any issues during the installation, refer to the official Chef documentation for further guidance.
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!
