Strapi is a flexible, open-source headless CMS that allows you to build powerful API-driven content management systems. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Strapi on NetBSD.
Before you proceed with this tutorial, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download Strapi. You can download Strapi from the official website at https://strapi.io/. Once you have downloaded the latest version of Strapi, extract it to a directory of your choice.
cd /opt/
wget https://github.com/strapi/strapi/releases/download/v3.6.8/strapi-v3.6.8.tar.gz
tar -zxvf strapi-v3.6.8.tar.gz
After downloading Strapi, you need to install its dependencies. To do that, navigate to the directory where you have extracted Strapi and run the following command:
cd strapi-v3.6.8
npm install
To create a new Strapi project, run the following command:
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
Replace my-project with the name of your project. The --quickstart flag is optional and is used to create a project with pre-configured settings.
After creating the Strapi project, start the Strapi server by running the following command:
cd my-project
npm run develop
The server will start at http://localhost:1337.
You can access the Strapi admin panel by navigating to http://localhost:1337/admin. By default, the admin panel is protected by a password. You will need to create a new admin user and assign a password to access the panel.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Strapi on NetBSD. By following these steps, you can quickly get started with building your own powerful API-driven content management system. Have fun building!
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!
