How to Install Wirow on NetBSD

Wirow is a server application that provides a web interface for managing Docker containers. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Wirow on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need the following:

• A NetBSD system with root access.
• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your NetBSD system.
• Basic knowledge of using the command line interface.

Steps

Follow these steps to install Wirow on NetBSD:

1. Download Wirow from Github by executing the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/wirow-io/wirow-server.git

2. Change into the wirow-server directory:

   cd wirow-server

3. Copy the sample environment file:

   cp .env.example .env

4. Open the .env file using your preferred text editor:

   nano .env

5. Update the .env file with your preferred settings. For example, you can set the PORT to listen on, and the default USERNAME and PASSWORD for logging in.

6. Start Wirow by executing the following command:

   docker-compose up -d

   This will create a Docker container and start the Wirow server. The -d option runs the container in detached mode.

7. Verify that Wirow is running by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:8080. You should see the Wirow login page.

8. Login using the default USERNAME and PASSWORD you set in the .env file.

9. You can now use Wirow to manage Docker containers using the web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wirow on NetBSD.

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!
