How to Install Wakapi on NetBSD

Wakapi is an open-source web application that provides statistics and analytics for your Wekan instance. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Wakapi on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, please ensure that you have the following software installed on your NetBSD machine:

• Node.js v12 or later
• MongoDB v4 or later

Step 1: Clone the Wakapi Repository

First, we need to clone the Wakapi repository from the official GitHub page:

git clone https://github.com/muety/wakapi.git

Step 2: Install Wakapi Dependencies

Next, change the directory to the cloned Wakapi repository and install its dependencies using npm:

cd wakapi
npm install

Step 3: Configure Wakapi

Create a new configuration file for Wakapi:

cp .example.env .env

Open the .env file and modify the following variables as per your requirements:

• MONGO_URI: MongoDB connection string, for example mongodb://localhost/wakapi
• ORIGIN: The URL where your Wekan instance is hosted
• WAKATIME_API_KEY: Your WakaTime API key, required to fetch data from WakaTime

Step 4: Start Wakapi

Start Wakapi using the following command:

npm start

Wakapi should now be running on http://localhost:3000. You can modify the PORT environment variable to change the default port.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wakapi on NetBSD. You can now access your analytics dashboard by visiting the URL where Wakapi is hosted.

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!
