In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ITFlow on NetBSD. ITFlow is a web-based inventory system that allows IT departments to manage their hardware and software assets. It is a powerful tool for organizations that want to keep track of their IT resources.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following software installed:
You can use a package manager like pkgsrc to install these dependencies.
Go to the ITFlow website at https://itflow.org and download the latest version of ITFlow. You can either download the .zip or .tar.gz file.
Extract the downloaded file to your Apache web server's document root. For example, if your Apache document root is /var/www/html, extract the file to that directory.
cd /var/www/html
unzip itflow-0.9.1.zip
Create a new database for ITFlow to use. Log in to your MySQL server and execute the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE itflow CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
GRANT ALL ON itflow.* TO 'itflow'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'mypassword' with a secure password of your choice.
Copy config.example.php to config.php and fill in the database details:
cd /var/www/html/itflow
cp config.example.php config.php
nano config.php
Update the following values in config.php:
$CONFIG['dbhost'] - Set this to the hostname or IP address of your MySQL server.$CONFIG['dbname'] - Set this to the name of the database you created in Step 3.$CONFIG['dbuser'] - Set this to the MySQL user with access to the itflow database.$CONFIG['dbpass'] - Set this to the password for the MySQL user.Save and close the file.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/itflow. If everything is working correctly, you should see the ITFlow login screen.
Log in with the default credentials:
You should now be able to use ITFlow to manage your organization's IT assets.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install ITFlow on NetBSD. ITFlow is a powerful inventory management system that can help your IT department keep track of hardware and software assets. With this guide, you should be able to get started with ITFlow quickly and easily.
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!
