Installing OpenNode on NetBSD

OpenNode is a virtualization management platform that enables you to manage your virtual machines and containers from a single, web-based interface. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install OpenNode on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install dependencies

To get started, let's install the necessary dependencies for OpenNode to run. Enter the following command:

pkgin install python38 curl gcc gmake py38-pip py38-httpie py38-greenlets py38-eventlet py38-msgpack py38-gevent py38-bcrypt eslint npm

Step 2: Download OpenNode package

Next, navigate to the OpenNode download page at http://opennodecloud.com/download. Locate the NetBSD package and copy the download link.

Back on your NetBSD server, use the following command to download the OpenNode package:

curl -L [download_link] -o opennode-xx.xx.xx.tgz

Unzip the OpenNode package:

tar xvzf opennode-xx.xx.xx.tgz

Step 3: Install OpenNode

Navigate into the OpenNode directory:

cd opennode-xx.xx.xx

Install OpenNode using the following command:

python setup.py install

Step 4: Start OpenNode service

Once the installation process has completed, start the OpenNode service using the following command:

systemctl start opennode.service

To ensure that OpenNode starts automatically on system boot, enable the OpenNode service:

systemctl enable opennode.service

Step 5: Access OpenNode interface

OpenNode is now installed and running on your NetBSD server. You can access the OpenNode web interface through your web browser at https://localhost:8000.

Enter the default username admin and password admin to log in and start managing your virtual machines and containers.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenNode on NetBSD!

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!
