HomelabOS is a self-hosted infrastructure management platform that can help you manage different aspects of your home server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing HomelabOS on NetBSD.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites ready:
The first step is to install some packages that are required by HomelabOS. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
pkgin update
pkgin install python3 py37-yaml py37-pip docker-compose
This command will update the package repository and install the required packages.
Next, we need to download and run the HomelabOS setup script. Run the following command to download the script:
curl -fsSL https://homelabos.com/install.sh -o homelabos.sh
Once the script is downloaded, we need to make it executable:
chmod +x homelabos.sh
Now, we can run the script:
./homelabos.sh --backend 172.21.0.2
Note that we are passing the option --backend 172.21.0.2 to the script. This tells HomelabOS to use the IP address 172.21.0.2 as the backend address. This IP address will be used to connect to any services that we install through HomelabOS.
The setup process can take a few minutes to complete. Once it is finished, you can access the HomelabOS dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your_server_ip>:8000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install HomelabOS on NetBSD. With HomelabOS, you can easily manage different aspects of your home server, such as media streaming, file sharing, and more. If you have any issues with the installation process, please refer to the HomelabOS documentation or reach out to the HomelabOS community for support.
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!
