Installing Tipi on NetBSD

Tipi is a command-line tool for managing Tipi clusters in your organization. It is built using Go and is available on Github for installation on various operating systems including NetBSD.

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation process of Tipi on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Installation Steps

  1. First, open the terminal on your NetBSD system.

  2. Clone the Tipi repository from Github using Git. Enter the following command in the terminal:

    git clone https://github.com/meienberger/runtipi.git
    
  3. Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the runtipi directory using the cd command.

    cd runtipi
    
  4. Build the Tipi binary using the go command.

    go build
    

    This command will create a Tipi binary in the current directory.

  5. Copy the Tipi binary to a directory that's included in your PATH environment variable. This will allow you to run Tipi from any directory on your system.

    cp runtipi /usr/local/bin/
    
  6. Finally, verify the installation by running the tipi help command in the terminal. This should display the help documentation for Tipi.

    tipi help
    

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tipi on your NetBSD system. You can now use it to manage Tipi clusters in your organization.

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!
