This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing SIP Irrigation Control on NetBSD. SIP Irrigation Control is a web-based irrigation system control that enables you to manage your irrigation system from a web browser.
First, we need to install the necessary dependencies using the following command:
pkgin update
pkgin install git make gcc nodejs npm
Next, we need to clone the SIP repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dan-in-ca/SIP.git
Navigate to the SIP directory and run the installation script using the following commands:
cd SIP
make
After the installation is complete, start the SIP service using the following command:
./sip.js
Lastly, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://<NetBSD IP address>:3000/
You should now see the SIP login page. Use the default login credentials to log in:
Username: admin
Password: password
After following the above steps, SIP Irrigation Control should now be installed and running on your NetBSD computer. You can now use your web browser to control your irrigation system.
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!
