How to Install OpenFaaS on NetBSD

OpenFaaS (Functions as a Service) is a popular Serverless framework that allows developers to build, package, and deploy serverless functions in any language. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenFaaS on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your NetBSD machine:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

You can install Docker and Docker Compose using the following commands:

pkgin install docker
pkgin install docker-compose

Installing OpenFaaS

Now that we have the prerequisites installed, we can proceed to install OpenFaaS.

1. Clone the OpenFaaS repository:

git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes.git
cd faas-netes

2. Create a namespace for OpenFaaS:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openfaas/faas-netes/master/namespaces.yml

3. Generate the required secrets:

kubectl -n openfaas create secret generic basic-auth --from-literal=basic-auth-user=admin --from-literal=basic-auth-password=admin123
kubectl create secret generic openfaas-fn-secret --from-literal=default_username=admin --from-literal=default_password=admin123

4. Deploy OpenFaaS:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openfaas/faas-netes/master/yaml/stack.yml

It may take a few minutes for OpenFaaS to deploy. You can check the status of the deployment using the following command:

kubectl -n openfaas get pods

5. Expose OpenFaaS:

kubectl port-forward svc/gateway -n openfaas 8080:8080 &

Open up a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080 to access OpenFaaS.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenFaaS on NetBSD. You can now start building and deploying your serverless functions.

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!
