In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thingsboard on NetBSD. Thingsboard is an open-source IoT platform that enables data collection, processing, visualization, and device management. It is useful for IoT-based projects or applications that require real-time data analytics, remote device management, and other advanced features.
Before you start the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing Thingsboard, we need to install some dependencies that are required to run the application. To install the dependencies, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install openjdk8 git
Once the installation is complete, verify the version of Java installed by running:
java -version
Next, clone the Thingsboard repository using the git command:
git clone https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard.git
The above command will download the Thingsboard source code to your local directory.
Navigate to the cloned directory:
cd thingsboard
To build and run Thingsboard, execute the following command:
sudo ./gradlew run
This will start the Thingsboard server, and you should be able to access it by going to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Note: If you are using a remote server, you'll need to replace localhost with your server's IP address or domain name.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Thingsboard on NetBSD. You can now use it for your IoT-based projects or applications.
Keep in mind that the default configuration of Thingsboard is not secure for production use. It is recommended to change the default password and use HTTPS if you plan to use Thingsboard in a production environment.
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!
